The New Balance 990v5 Made in USA ‘Black History Month’ makes use of a beige mesh upper with tonal suede overlays and contrasting burgundy detailing. An unexpected pop of violet is applied to the heel overlay, while the signature ‘N’ logo is rendered in a matte gold finish. A dual-density foam collar combines with an Ortholite sockliner to deliver a comfortable fit. The sneaker rides on a two-tone ENCAP midsole, reinforced underfoot by a grippy gum rubber outsole.
