New Balance 990 OG “30th Anniversary”

Dominant seasons by Miguel Cabrera and RA Dickey only resulted in the smallest blip with regard to commemorating their achievements via special edition product, so while it’s not a foregone conclusion, we’d expect New Balance to take full advantage of their most popular silhouette hitting a major milestone much like Nike Sportswear did this year with the Air Force 1.  But while we wait on those XXV 574s, one of its forebears is also celebrating a thirtieth anniversary, with the original New Balance 990 (the modern 990 is actually the V3, marking its second major revision).  The first New Bals to hit the three-digit MSRP mark, this OG style features a unique elements like its heel counter, retrofied branding and a Vibram outsole, and the M990GRY will be available at select retailers like Hanon on December 1st.
