990

The New Balance 990v4 ‘Bart Simpson’ expands the Made-in-USA line with an eye-catching, colorful take on the classic 990 silhouette. The combination of Urgent Red, Maize, and Afterglow creates a high-contrast look that lends the color palette an almost cartoon-like energy and gives the model its unofficial nickname. The upper features a red mesh base complemented by premium suede overlays, maintaining the 990v4’s signature Made-in-USA craftsmanship. Yellow accents on the toe box, side panels, and heel add extra dynamism to the design, while a blue heel tab and subtle midsole details round out the look without overloading the overall composition. The classic 990v4 silhouette remains unchanged: a black N-logo with a silver border, a silver tongue label featuring Made in USA branding, and the embroidered 990 on the heel emphasize the shoe’s heritage DNA. A slightly distressed, cream-colored midsole and a black outsole provide stability and contrast.
