The 990v4 gets a darker treatment for Fall/Winter 2026 in this Made in USA colorway from New Balance.

Made primarily of navy, Meteorite, and Kombu green materials, the upper begins with navy mesh and layers of coordinating suede across the toe, midfoot, and heel sections. Kombu green is featured through the laces, tongue, heel, and a few small trim sections. It adds some contrast to the shoe without overpowering it. There are silver “N” logos on the sides of the shoe that pop off the darker background nicely.

The Meteorite-colored midsole echoes that color scheme on the lower half of the shoe while staying within that same muted color palette. The rubber outsole is coated in the same Meteorite finish. The rest of the details are your typical 990v4 stuff, including its mesh + suede construction and ENCAP midsole cushioning.

This sneaker keeps it pretty mellow compared to some other louder takes on the 990 we’ve seen. The navy and green add enough flavor to keep it interesting, and the silver branding helps break up all that darkness.

New Balance will release the 990v4 in “Navy/Meteorite” during Fall/Winter 2026. Find them through New Balance and select retailers for $180.
