Earthy Tones Collide With Colorful Accents on the New Balance 990v3 “Tan/Blue”

Teddy Santis continues to impress sneakerheads with his creative direction as he helms New Balance’s MADE in USA footwear line. The Aimé Leon Dore has inserted his eye for aesthetic details and colors into a variety of silhouettes, but one that continues to capture our attention is the New Balance 990v3. Following up on the appearance of the model’s black and tan colorway, the lifestyle offering has just been revealed in a fresh “Tan/Blue” color palette.

For this newest installment, Santis converges earthy tones with vivid accents. The former can be seen throughout most of the upper as the mesh underlays are doused with a tan hue while the overlays atop the heels and toe boxes are covered in a chocolatey brown and the quarter panels are filled in with a muted gray. Extra bold accents can be found on the collars which have been filled in with a bold purple hue, the interior liners are fashioned with bright orange and the tongue’s customary New Balance branding which stands out in red.
