Carhartt WIP Presents a New Balance 990v6 Sneaker

— September 29, 2023 — Fashion
Carhartt WIP works in collaboration with New Balance to launch its own iteration of the 990v6 sneaker model. The shoes are inspired by workwear looks and the colorway reflects the same theme. The shoes are set to drop officially on October 20th and have a premium construction.

It will be available to shop at the Voo Store, New Balance, and Carhartt WIP. The duo have worked on a previous iteration of the shoe with the joint 990v1 sneaker that launched back in September last year.
