Introduced in 1982, the New Balance M990 is one of the most sought after NB runners. While it still features a solid build of suede-reinforced mesh upper, the New Balance M990 is one of the designs that have been produced in the USA to this day. Compared to younger generations of NB running shoes, the New Balance M990 is equipped with simpler lines as well as an exterior heel counter, while the foamed midsole offers great cushion. Here comes the W990DV5 for girls. New Balance has chosen a mix of dark gray and purple for the colorway. As usual for the 990 series, the shoe was made in the USA.
