FAQs

What does 'MiUSA' stand for?

MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating the manufacturing origin of the sneaker.

How does the 'Raw Amethyst' colorway get its name?

The name is inspired by the amethyst crystal, reflected in the sneaker's primarily purple suede color scheme.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While built on a performance-inspired silhouette, the 990v3 is primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker, best suited for casual wear and comfort rather than rigorous athletic training.

What material is the upper primarily made of?

The upper features a combination of premium purple suede overlays, black leather accents, and a navy mesh base layer.

What is the typical fit of the New Balance 990v3?

The 990v3 generally offers a comfortable, supportive fit, often described as true to size for most individuals. It is designed to accommodate various foot shapes.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is advisable to avoid wearing suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede and affect its appearance and texture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing dirty or matted.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning product following its instructions carefully.

Laces becoming worn or dirty.

Replace laces with a similar style or color. Laces can often be cleaned separately with mild soap and water.

Reduced cushioning over time.

While the midsole is durable, cushioning naturally decreases with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.
