New Balance 990v1 "Macadamia"
Teddy Santis And New Balance Back Again With Another 990v1 Colorway For 2022!
Over the course of a few years, New Balance has solidified itself as a brand that younger sneakerheads can no longer ignore and pass off as “old people” shoes. The Boston-based brand has done so by releasing a variety of new and trendy silhouettes but not while losing its commitment to the brand’s “Made in the Us” heritage models.
Here in 2022, that fact continues to reign true as New Balance has decided to team up with ALD founder, Teddy Santis, to create a plethora of new colorways within the classic 990 lineups. For the first week of July, we can expect the swanky “Macadamia” colorway to hit retail shelves this Summer.

What Materials Are On The Shoe?
Upper: When it comes down to materials, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find any sneaker from any brand that has the quality that New Balance offers with its “Made in the US” series sneakers. Although I haven’t held this pair in hand, I can say with confidence that the long-haired suede and mesh materials found on this shoe will be nothing short of mind-blowing. In addition, the black leather hits add visual and functional contrast to the overall neutral shoe.

Midsole: As far as the midsole, you’ll find New Balance’s proprietary cushioning technology that still offers a great mix of cushioning, stability, and flexibility that the Boston-based shoe manufacturer is known for.
What Colors Are On The Shoes?
If you’re a fan of low-key refinement when it comes to sneakers, then this pair is right up your alley. The smart execution and placement of neutral tones that are contrasted by hits of black come together to create a grown and sexy look in my opinion.
Upper: The shoe features panels of cream and macadamia suede panels that are matched with the cream mesh that adds breathability to the shoe. Also appearing on the upper are the black hits of leather that make up the “N” logo and back heel panel.
Midsole: The midsole features the same light cream color found on the shoe’s upper but also adds the darker shade of grey around the heal portion which completes the look even more.
Release Date And Pricing
The New Balance 990v1 "Macadamia" is set to drop on July 7, 2022 for a retail price of $190 on NewBalance.com and at select retailers. New Balance’s like these have been a pain to cop these days, but if you strike out on release day, these may still be worth a cop on the resell market.
