New Balance 990v1 Made In USA '30th Anniversary' - Grey - 8.5

'Made In USA' signifies that the shoes are manufactured in one of New Balance's factories in the United States, often associated with higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

While the 990 series offers excellent support, the '30th Anniversary' collection is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear due to its design focus and collector's nature. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific performance running models.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow to air dry.

The 990v1 is the original model from the 990 series, featuring its distinct design elements. Later versions (v2, v3, etc.) incorporate updated technology, materials, and aesthetic changes while aiming to maintain the core comfort and support principles.

While the leather offers some protection, the suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to treat them with a water-repellent spray.

This specific model is available in UK size 8.5. Other variants of the 990v1 are available in various sizes; please check specific product listings.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.
