New Balance is giving its iconic Made in USA 990v4 a seasonal makeover for Autumn/Winter 2026, introducing two new colourways alongside matching sweat sets.
As autumn wardrobes begin to shift towards richer tones, heavier layers and more versatile footwear, New Balance is bringing one of its most recognisable silhouettes into the new season.
The Made in USA 990v4 has been refreshed for Autumn/Winter 2026, arriving in two seasonal colourways that combine earthy burgundy, brown, grey and navy tones.
Designed to work effortlessly with everything from denim and casual trousers to oversized knitwear and cosy autumn layers, the latest 990v4 release offers a more seasonal take on the classic New Balance running-inspired silhouette.
Two New Autumn Colourways!
The AW26 collection introduces two distinct colour combinations.
The first pairs Monarch burgundy with pumpernickel and black, creating a rich, warm-toned colourway that fits neatly into the autumn palette.
The second takes a cooler approach, combining NB navy with meteorite and kombu for a darker, more understated finish.
Both versions feature a premium mix of nubuck and mesh, alongside synthetic accents, giving the classic 990v4 a combination of texture and durability.

A 990 Classic Gets a Seasonal Refresh
The 990 has a long-standing place in New Balance’s footwear line-up.
When the original 990 was introduced in 1982, its designers were tasked with creating what they considered to be the single best running shoe on the market. Over the years, the silhouette has evolved through multiple iterations while retaining its reputation among both runners and fashion fans.
The 990v4 originally debuted in 2016, building on the modernised design introduced with the 990v3.
For Autumn/Winter 2026, New Balance is retaining the familiar shape while updating the materials and colour palette for the season.
The result is a version that keeps the 990v4’s classic identity but gives it a distinctly autumnal feel.
Matching New Balance Sweat Sets Complete the Look
The seasonal colour palette isn’t limited to footwear, either.
The AW26 release also includes matching sweat sets, extending the same colour combinations into the apparel collection.
The clothing arrives in maroon and brown, alongside grey and blue, making it easy to build a coordinated casual look around the new 990v4s.
The muted tones are particularly suited to autumn styling, whether worn together as a full tonal outfit or mixed with existing wardrobe staples.
How to Style the New Balance 990v4 This Autumn
The versatility of the 990v4 makes it particularly easy to work into an autumn wardrobe.
The warmer Monarch burgundy and pumpernickel colourway can be paired with blue or washed denim, neutral trousers and chunky knitwear for a classic seasonal look.
Meanwhile, the navy, meteorite and kombu version offers a cooler alternative that can be styled with grey sweatpants, darker denim or oversized outerwear.
For a more coordinated approach, the matching sweat sets provide an easy foundation, while the contrasting 990v4 colourways add texture and interest to the outfit.
The Made in USA 990v4 Returns for AW26
While the 990 has changed considerably since its original launch in the 1980s, its appeal continues to sit somewhere between performance footwear and everyday fashion.
The latest Autumn/Winter 2026 release leans into that versatility, combining the familiar 990v4 silhouette with premium materials and a colour palette designed for the colder months.
Whether you’re already a long-time 990 fan or looking for a new pair of trainers to carry you through the autumn and winter, the latest New Balance drop brings two distinctly seasonal options to the Made in USA collection.
