New Balance 990v7 “Black/Silver” Design
New Balance has long leaned on grey, a choice that dates to the 1980s, when it answered rivals’ neon on white designs with a neutral palette. The brand’s New Balance 99x line is built on that tonality.
The pair is built on black and silver. A reflective silver N logo sits on the side. The embedded ABZORB units carry a similar silver tone, which gives the profile more edge than the usual grey.
