Name: New Balance MADE in USA 990v6 “Inkwell”
Colorway: Inkwell
Style Code: U990IA6
MSRP: $200 USD
Release Date: June 12
Where to Buy: New Balance

It’s been over two and a half years since New Balance introduced the sneaker world to the 990v6. The runner has remained in constant rotation since, with new in-line looks and collaborations with partners such as Action Bronson bringing much excitement to the industry.

We just previewed a “Black/Grey” colorway earlier this week and now a new “Inkwell” pair courtesy of the MADE in USA team has surfaced. This new rendition of the shoe sees it sport a mixed material upper that begins with a blue suede mudguard. From there, a blue synthetic base teams up with black suede and nubuck underlays. The “N” logos on each side see a white outline encase blue lettering while additional touches of white come from the lining, laces, and forefoot of the otherwise gray and off-white midsole.

At the time of writing, New Balance has not officially announced the release of this 990v6 “Inkwell” colorway by the MADE in USA division. Stay tuned for updates, including a closer look at the pair, as select retailers such as BSTN have listed the pair as arriving on June 12, which is likely when it will drop via New Balance at its standard price of $200 USD.
