The 990’s original designers were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than lived up to its billing. When it hit shelves for the first time in 1982 the 990 sported an elegantly understated grey colorway, and a then unheard of three-figure price tag. For avid runners and ahead of the curve tastemakers alike, the 990 was a mark of quality and superior taste. There have been updates to the design since ’82, and more color options, but the 990’s aspirational status symbol aura has never changed. Simply put, the 990 is the shoe so good, that we’ve never stopped making it. The 990v2 features a premium upper construction and ABZORB midsole cushioning.

Typically with my shoes I order a half size up because I have a pretty wide foot. NB’s tend to run large in my experience and decided to go true to size on these and see if they would fit more snug, while providing enough room for my foot. They fit very well and have not experienced any discomfort yet. Typical NB high quality materials, fits me well, and great colorway!

VERY comfortable. Made in the USA, same price as the others in its category and made in USA. Do more like this and I will buy more. Simple, huh??

I stand a lot as a teacher, so on casual Fridays, my feet feel great! This is my second pair of MIUSA NBs and they don’t disappoint. They are a little long…or my feet are getting smaller.
