New Balance is once again challenging preconceived notions of style with the upcoming release of its 990v6 “Inkwell” sneaker, proving that the quintessential “dad shoe” can indeed command attention on the modern fashion landscape. The “Inkwell” treatment was also recently applied to the 1906A, which saw a release in March.

Draped in a sophisticated navy hue complemented by classic grey overlays, this latest iteration masterfully blends nostalgic design with contemporary street appeal. It’s a clear signal that the “dad-core” movement is evolving, and it’s doing so with undeniable flair.

About the New Balance 990v6 MADE in USA “Inkwell”

Crafted with the signature blend of mesh and suede, the upper of the New Balance 990v6 MADE in USA “Inkwell” offers a multi-textured experience that is both visually engaging and functionally sound. The combination ensures optimal breathability and support, hallmarks of the 990 series. The midsole maintains a traditional white and grey palette, but a subtle yet impactful splash of yellow on the heel provides a surprising pop of color, signaling a refined taste for understated details.

As expected from the revered 990 line, the “Inkwell” boasts the brand’s esteemed MADE in USA construction, guaranteeing a premium build that transcends mere aesthetics. This commitment to quality ensures not only exceptional comfort but also enduring style, cementing the 990v6 as a reliable staple for any wardrobe.
