The New Balance 990v3 comes as part of the "Made in USA" collection, designed in honor of the 990 silhouette's anniversary by Teddy Santis, founder and creative director of New York lifestyle band Aime Leon Dore. The upper features a blend of premium pigskin, hairy suede and mesh. Rounding out the design is branding on the heel, tongue and sidewall of the shoe. Optimal cushioning is provided by an ENCAP midsole.
