New Balance 990v7 Design
The debut colorway keeps New Balance’s signature grey suede upper. An aged finish covers the logo and midsole. Steel blue accents run through a slimmed down side panel, and reflective 3M detailing is built into the upper. The midfoot N is larger, with styling that nods to the 990v3. Joe Freshgoods captioned an on foot shot “v7s cute.”
How Is the 990v7 Different From the 990v6?
The mudguard is larger and the overlays sit higher, which pushes the layers closer to the forefoot. The midsole offers a new take on the 990v6 split look, with a stacked heel.
