Here we showcase the coolest New Balance models, ranging from all-time heroes like the no-frills 574 to new disrupters like the 1906R. Made in USA 990v6 Shoes The New Balance 990 was originally launched in 1982. It set a new benchmark for running shoes in terms of both quality and price tags, coming in at a whopping $100, which was unheard of at the time. But the 990 lived up to its hefty asking price in its materials and construction, quickly becoming a favourite both on and off the track, and something of a status symbol for those with the cash to own a pair.

Customers just weren’t interested, perhaps partly due to the high price tag and partly to it simply not being the right time. What’s certain is that it didn’t have anything to do with the shoe’s design, because when it relaunched as the more accessibly priced 2002R in 2020, it quickly became one of the hottest shoes on the market. The ‘Protection Pack’ release of this shoe proved particularly popular, featuring a deconstructed, dishevelled look, marked by the jagged overlaid panels and uneven, asymmetric lines throughout.

The ridged soles are as eye-catching as they are grippy and the brand lets rip with bolder colours and patterns than we usually see in other ranges.

The shoes in it share some common features with the 990, but all are obvious departures in their own unique ways. The 991 was the first of the bunch, originally launched in 2001 and crafted in the brand’s UK factory to this day.

Instead, it’s a no-frills workhorse of a shoe that offers a route into the NB universe for a relatively low price.

Popularised by a high-profile collaboration with Parisian label Casablanca, the sneaker pays homage to NB’s running heritage, taking its design cues from the track-and-field shoes of yesteryear and incorporating modern touches like an oversized logo and exaggerated lugs to the sole.
