When the designers of the first 990 were tasked with making the best running shoe on the market, they took the job seriously. The New Balance U990TF6 delivered just what the designers were aiming for, with some performance-inspired updates. The upper dispenses with the standard midfoot saddle, allowing the pigskin and synthetic overlays to flow from heel to toe across the mesh underlay, for a speedy, streamlined style. The addition of the FuelCell midsole cushioning means that the evolution of the 990 can be felt as much as it can be seen.
