About The New Balance 990v5 “Merlot”:
The Shoe
Ever since the 990v5 debuted back in May, New Balance has been sprinkling the market with very few colorways of their beloved heritage model.
For this upcoming fall season, New Balance looks to continue to expand their offerings by providing consumers with the 990v5 in a colorway tailor-made for our cooler weather fashion looks.
The shoe’s upper is adorned in a rich burgundy suede and mesh combination, with hints of navy on the New Balance “N” logo, side stability strap, and eyelets.
As far as the rest of the shoe, the majority of the midsole is white, with a splash of burgundy and grey on the rear portion.
If you’re familiar with the 990 franchise, then you’re well aware of just how well constructed and comfortable this shoe is. As far as dad shoes, the New Balance 990 is arguably the best retro running shoe on the market today.
Release Predictions
The 990v5 (Burgundy/Navy) will be a general release shoe that will be available from a variety of retailers online and in-store.
Although this is an attractive looking shoe, we don’t foresee these selling out quickly on release day, which should make it an easy cop.
Of course, if you’re a fan of the shoe we suggest you purchase as soon as you have a chance to eliminate the possibility of you missing out on the shoe.
