New Balance is well-known for its signature neutral color palettes, but don’t let that overshadow its increasing willingness to venture into more vibrant territory. As time goes on, the Boston-based brand appears to be embracing this departure from its usual aesthetic, and the New Balance 990v6 “Community Red” perfectly illustrates this evolution.

About the New Balance 990v6 “Community Red”

This striking red edition, which surfaced early at physical retailers, seems to be one of three color-blocked sneakers in a cohesive collection. Each shoe in the pack features nearly identical layouts, with the primary difference being their accent colors. For the “Community Red” model, the bright red suede immediately makes it the most eye-catching of the trio. This fiery shade extends to the mudguard and eyelets, seamlessly integrating with touches on the outsole, midsole, and even the primary lace option, creating a unified look.

Bridging the gap between the vivid suede panels and the classic light grey mesh base are branching leather overlays, rendered in a subtle pale pink. To complete this unique color story, a deep burgundy occupies a significant portion of the midsole. Whether it’s through this novel color arrangement or simply the undeniable visibility of the “Community Red”, this release further solidifies the New Balance 990v6’s reputation for embracing bold, statement-making designs, building on the precedent set by collaborations with artists like Action Bronson and Joe Freshgoods.

Release Details

Look for the New Balance 990v6 “Community Red” to become available at select New Balance retailers and on NewBalance.com in the coming weeks. It is expected to retail for US$200.
