The Teddy Santis x New Balance 990 V2 “Made in the USA” is one of several styles from the acclaimed footwear and fashion designer’s first-ever “Made in the USA” collection. The highly anticipated partnership between Santis, who is the founder and lead designer of Aime Leon Dore, was announced in 2021, and made a reality in April 2022. Santis is the head of New Balance’s “Made in the USA” footwear program. Here, on the 990 V2, the shoe features hairy grey suede overlays atop an olive green mesh base. A tan suede overlay is found on the heel. A reflective “N” logo is located on both sides of the shoe. “USA” branding appears on the heel and “990” and “Made in the USA” detailing is embroidered in white on the dark grey suede tongue. The cream-colored rubber midsole gives the shoe a vintage look. Release date: April 28, 2022
