New Balance first released its now-iconic 990 running sneakers back in 1982. The New Balance 990v6 MiUSA Grey (Women's) offered up a modern take on these shoes and helped usher them into a new era.


The upper on this New Balance 990v6 was made out of suede with synthetic overlays and mesh underlays. It also had a texture to it to provide it with a more premium look and feel. There were also several different shades of grey incorporated into the mix that worked well with the white in part of the midsole.


But the best part about this sneaker, according to our experts, was all the technology crammed into it. It featured FuelCell foam to make it more responsive as well as ENCAP cushioning in the midsole to make it more comfortable overall.
