American footwear giant New Balance has officially added a new 990v2 'Black' colorway to tis New Balance MADE in USA collection by Teddy Santis. The new shoe will be offered alongside the already released 990v1 and 990v3 models, which made their debut earlier this year.
With a focus on minimalist design codes, the 990v2 features black pig suede overlays and grey knit mesh uppers. Nicely balancing out the black and grey, however, are the shoe's cream-colored tongue and subtle tan detailing on its eyelets and heels. Meanwhile, the 'N' logo comes in a black suede with a white leather trim.
For those interested, the New Balance 990v2 'Black' is set to be released on July 7 at 10am on New Balance's website.
