Minimal Retro-Tinged Sneakers

New Balance MADE in USA Launches a New White and Blue Look

— November 24, 2022 — Fashion
New Balance launches a new colorway palette to join its MADE in USA series with the sleek white and blue colorway that details two signature silhouettes. It adorns the New Balance 990v3 sneaker and the 990sv2 sneaker models. The design retains the classic silhouette across both looks.

Each one is constructed from a blend of leather, mesh, and suede throughout the upper in a white hue and creamy tonal details. It is then accented with contrasting tones of blue and black throughout. The 990v3 shoes have 990 branding on the lateral side of the heel in silver and the N logo on the side is detailed in blue with a black outline. The 990v2 shoes are branded with a black N base and a blue outline.
