New Balance continues to launch new tonal iterations of its shoe roster and broaden its MADE in USA line with the latest being the Navy and Castlerock colorway palette. The palette is seen detailing the MADE in USA 990v3 sneaker model in the past and this time around, it makes its way onto the 990v2 silhouette.
It takes on construction that blends together premium pig suede and mesh throughout the upper and features a blend of blue along with contrasting hints of grey. The N logo on the lateral side of the shoe is marked in a light grey as the USA embroidery on the heel is detailed in a stark black before the dark grey tongue rounds out the look.
