New Balance has officially revealed the upcoming New Balance 990v4 Made in USA “Navy/Meteorite”. The seasonal release trades in the brand’s traditional soft suede for a darker leather and nubuck build tailored for fall.
Diverging from standard 990v4 releases, this iteration incorporates a sturdy leather and nubuck construction across the upper. Rendered primarily in New Balance Navy, the deep blue hue spans the underlying mesh base, structural paneling, and midsole unit.
Subtle contrast arrives in the form of “Meteorite” dark green underlays beneath the upper, introducing tonal depth without straying from the pair’s monochromatic aesthetic. The material refresh reflects New Balance’s ongoing seasonal adjustments within its premium Made in USA catalog for the colder months.
The New Balance 990v4 Made in USA “Navy/Meteorite” releases on September 24, 2026, for $195 USD via New Balance and select global retailers.
