New Balance 990v3 "Sea Salt"
New Found Success For New Balance
Over the course of a few years, New Balance has solidified itself as a brand that younger sneakerheads should no longer ignore by releasing a variety of new and trendy silhouettes. However, the brand’s commitment to their “Made in the Us” heritage models has never wavered during this time.
Here in 2022, that fact continues to reign true as New Balance has decided reach back and place the classic 990v3 silhouette on center stage with a variety of colorways coming down the pipeline. Along for the ride and offering creative assistance with this effort has been Teddy Santis - founder of longtime New Balance collaborator ALD.
A birds-eye look at the 990v3 “Sea Salt” (M990AL3)
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 we haven’t held this pair in hand, we can say with confidence that the leather and mesh materials found on this shoe will be top-notch. In addition, 3M and synthetic textile hits will also be featured throughout to add visual and functional contrast.

Midsole: As far as the midsole, you’ll find New Balance’s proprietary ENCAP cushioning technology that offers the near-prefect blend of cushioning, stability, and flexibility that New Balance is known for providing with its sneakers.
What Colors Are On The Shoes?
Make no mistake about it, this shoe isn’t going to turn heads with an exotic mix of colors, but it definitely stands out due to the sneaker’s expert placement of subtle and neutral tones that come together to create a low-key classy look.
Upper: The shoe’s features panels of white leather panels that are accented by light tan and grey elements that offer a classy level of visual interest. Also appearing on the upper are the light-grey hits of 3M that add both visual and functional contrast. Rounding out the upper’s design is the dark grey tongue that features red New Balance lettering breaks up the neutral tones.
Midsole: The midsole features the same light tan color found on the shoe’s upper but also adds a darker shade of tan around the heal portion which provides even more subtle contrast.
