New Balance 990v2:
The more colorful of the two models, the beloved 990v2 features a classy and cozy mix of colors and materials that scream quality.

The palette of grey, green, blue and creme is topped off by hits of yellow that appear on the toe, laces, and heel of the shoe.

Working our way down, we see an off-white-colored midsole that adds a vintage look to the shoe overall design aesthetic.

New Balance 990v5:
Not to be outdone, the newest 990v5 model also features a cohesive autumn colorway that incorporates a more subdued mix of green, navy, on its upper, with a light creme color lining the shoe’s interior.

Based on early marketing images, the 990v5 looks to have a midsole that has a similar look to the 990v2.
