The original designers of the 990 were tasked with creating the best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than lived up to its claims. For avid runners and trendsetters alike, the 990 was a sign of quality and good taste. Since '82, the design has been revised and there have been more colour options, but the 990's aura as an aspirational status symbol has remained unchanged. Simply put, the 990 is such a good shoe that New Balance has never stopped making it.
