FAQs

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these sneakers?

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is from domestic materials and labor, reflecting a commitment to quality manufacturing standards.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede eraser for dry marks and scuffs, and a suede brush to maintain the texture. For deeper cleaning, opt for a dedicated suede cleaner and apply sparingly with a damp cloth, allowing the shoes to air dry.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the 990v6 offers good cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. It is not optimized for high-impact running activities.

What is the significance of the Teddy Santis collaboration?

Teddy Santis, a designer and creative director, collaborated on this iteration of the 990v6, bringing his distinctive aesthetic and vision to the design, resulting in a unique colorway and detailing.

How does the sizing run for the New Balance 990v6?

New Balance 990 models are generally known for their consistent sizing. However, it's always recommended to consult the brand's specific sizing chart or try them on if possible, as fit can be subjective.

What material is the main upper made of?

The main upper of this specific model is constructed from a white textile base with synthetic overlays and suede accents.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaner applied with a damp cloth, then allow to air dry.

White textile shows discoloration

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild sneaker cleaner. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh chemicals.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water, or machine wash in a delicate bag. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
