[Update 5 May 2023] At the time of writing, not much was known about this iteration of the v6. But with New Balance’s annual “Grey Day” imminent, new information has asserted that the titular pair is actually part of the celebratory collection. Read more about the pack here!

Following the official release of the New Balance 990v6 “Grey”, numerous new colorways have surfaced including several good-looking pairs like the “Sand” and “Lavender” duo concepts—with one of the two rumored to be an upcoming New Balance collab. Still, none has been verified by the Boston footwear label.

Now, a new Navy/Grey colorway has joined the unofficial 990v6 lineup. Posted by @woganwodeyang on Instagram, this pair’s mesh body sports the iconic New Balance Grey; elsewhere, more grey appears on the mudguard and right above the midsoles, via panels that extend all around the shoe.

Navy is featured on the overlays across midsection of this 990v6, and on the tongue label and heel tab. The sole unit stays true to the series, coming in white-and-cream yellow. The now instantly-recognizable “v6” font makes an appearance in red on the tongue once more.

No additional release details are available but photos of the shoe were posted along with the hashtag #newbalance2023, pointing towards a drop in the upcoming new year. Keep your eyes peeled as we continue to bring you the latest on this 990v6 and more NB sneakers.
