New Balance continues to refine its domestic offerings with an upcoming “Olive” palette for the 990v4 MADE in USA – a pair that breaks convention through its distinct tooling. While the Boston brand typically reserves white, grey, or cream for its midsole units, this iteration dips the ENCAP-cushioned sole in a deep olive hue, creating a seamless visual flow with the upper.
The design is anchored by premium olive suede overlays that wrap the shoe in a rich, earthy texture. In a departure from standard color blocking, the midsole matches these overlays perfectly, resulting in a unified look rarely seen in the “MADE in USA” lineage. Textured white leather underlays and an open white mesh base provide a sharp contrast, injecting breathability and light into the silhouette’s profile.
Standard heritage details remain intact, including reflective 3M accents on the “N” logo, back tab, and toe box tip. As part of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection spearheaded by Teddy Santis, this drop proves the 990v4 remains a versatile canvas for tonal experimentation. Look for the pair to arrive in late February.
