New Balance Made in USA 990v6 - $199.99 and 13.2 oz

New Balance Made in USA 990v6 is a lifestyle sneaker with a performance-running lineage, a pigskin suede and mesh upper, and a men's style weight of 13.2 oz. The US model carries the M990GL6 style number and a listed price of $199.99.

990v6 Design And Materials

The upper combines mesh, pigskin suede, and synthetic overlays. The design removes the traditional midfoot saddle and lets the overlays run from the heel toward the toe.

FuelCell foam supplies the midsole cushioning, while ENCAP combines lightweight foam with a durable polyurethane rim. Reflective accents and a TPU back tab complete the listed feature set.

Fit, Widths, And Weight

The men's version is listed in US sizes 7 through 16, with sizes 13.5, 14, 15, and 16 also shown in the official size guide. Width choices include X-Narrow 2A, Narrow B, Standard D, Wide 2E, X-Wide 4E, and XX-Wide 6E.

New Balance lists the M990GL6 at 374.5 grams, or 13.2 oz. An independent laboratory review measured 12.9 oz for a men's US size 9 and recorded the 990v6 as lighter than the preceding 990v5 at 13.7 oz in the same comparison.

Price And Position

The US listing places the Made in USA 990v6 at $199.99. Bloomingdale's lists the men's sneaker at the same $199.99 price and identifies the construction with a synthetic upper, rubber sole, ENCAP cushioning, and TPU back tab.

Compared with the 990v5, the 990v6 shifts the model toward FuelCell cushioning and a more open upper design. Its broad width range makes it a stronger fit option than shoes offered in one standard width, while the 13.2-oz men's specification places it closer to a supportive lifestyle sneaker than an ultralight running shoe.

Best Fit For The Category

The 990v6 fits shoppers seeking a Made in USA lifestyle sneaker with a running-shoe platform, substantial cushioning, and multiple width choices. Its weight, pigskin materials, and $199.99 price place it above lightweight casual sneakers and alongside premium heritage trainers.
