How it's made
US-manufactured, mostly US materials
The New Balance Made in USA 990v6 is the sixth evolution of the original 990 — first introduced in 1982 as the most technically advanced running shoe on the market — now updated with FuelCell nitrogen-infused midsole cushioning alongside the signature ENCAP system for a propulsive yet supported ride. Built at New Balance's Massachusetts factories with a domestic value of 70% or more, it features a streamlined pigskin suede and mesh upper with no midfoot saddle, allowing the overlays to flow uninterrupted from heel to toe for a faster, cleaner silhouette. Available in men's sizes with four width options — Narrow through X-Wide — and priced at $199.99, it is the gold standard of American-made athletic footwear.

Why the USAmade Score™ is 7/10
New Balance is one of the last major athletic footwear brands still manufacturing in the United States, operating factories in Lawrence and Boston, Massachusetts for over 75 years. The 990v6 explicitly carries the "MADE in USA" designation, backed by New Balance's own disclosure that domestic content equals 70% or more by value. The 30% or less of non-domestic content primarily reflects imported raw materials — pigskin suede, mesh, and foam compounds — which are not commercially produced in the US at scale, keeping this at a 7 rather than a 10.
