When the New Balance 990 was originally released in 1982, much suspicion aroused about its elevated cost, making it the most expensive running sneaker in the market with its three-digit price. Despite the initial doubts, the 990 opens the series of New Balance Made in USA which shapes the Boston-born sportswear brand’s identity, able to be collocated between sport enthusiasts and preppy style estimators, redefining quality standards of sport footwear. New Balance opened the English factory in the same year, a strategic move rooted in the brand's commitment to traditional craftsmanship, catering to the European market with locally produced goods. By opening this factory, the American brand leveraged the rich heritage of British shoemaking, which is renowned for its quality and durability, inaugurating the successful New Balance Made in England collection.Released for the first time in 2001, New Balance 991 represents a key moment for the England-made sneakers. The 991 garnered fame through its exceptional balance of function and style, featuring ABZORB advanced cushioning technology and ENCAP supportive midsole, providing the comfort experience that nowadays characterizes New Balance’s sneakers and is still in use in contemporary designs like the New Balance 1906 and 2002R. The 991 is one of Steve Jobs’ favorite sneakers, from which is derived the unofficial name of the iconic colorways with grey pigskin suede and mesh built. As much as the other design belonging to the 990 series, the 991 saw many iterations - just to mention the v2 and the v5 – and became a go-to from the office to the school, passing by playgrounds and sports fields.
