The last week has brought us a look at several upcoming styles from New Balance featuring the 990v6. Now being dubbed the “Community” pack, the third and final style in the series gives the shoe a makeover in “Vintage Indigo”.
New Balance’s sixth iteration of their 1982 990 running shoe burst onto the sneaker scene in 2022, just a few years after the launch of the v5. The new version was one of the shortest turnaround times from its predecessor, with both the v5 and v6 models arriving in three year intervals after the v4. Now, the 990v6 is one of the most frequent releases in the brand’s catalog, and arrives in fresh colors and collaborations every month.
Over the past week, we’ve seen a number of new colors for the 990v6 surface online, particularly through the subreddit dedicated to New Balance. One of the users has seemingly gotten their hands on several pairs from the “Community” pack, which dresses the shoe in vivid colors over a flat grey base layer. The third and final pair joins the “Clay Ash” and “Community Red” styles with a classic NB tone; Vintage Indigo. This pair sports the same gunmetal grey base with dark shades of blue making up these suede paneling and midsoles.
