New Balance 990v6 “Made in USA – Dark Ember / Afterglow” (U990TF6)
Dark Ember tegen Afterglow — dat is de kern van deze 990v6. De 'Dark Ember' zet een diepe, smeulende grijs-bruine basis neer, warm en ingetogen, terwijl 'Afterglow' er een zachte, roze-warme gloed doorheen laat lopen. Het contrast blijft subtiel: geen felle knal, maar de nagloed van iets dat net gebrand heeft. Het karakteristieke N-logo op de zijkant vangt precies die overgang, waardoor het silhouet z'n gelaagdheid krijgt zonder luid te worden.
Onder de code U990TF6 hoort de Made in USA-uitvoering, gebouwd in het thuisland van de 990-lijn en uitgebracht op 31 oktober 2024. Die herkomst zegt iets over de afwerking: een silhouet dat generatie na generatie is bijgeschaafd. De warme, gedempte tinten maken 'm makkelijk te combineren — trek 'r onder een rechte spijkerbroek of een zandkleurige chino en de Dark Ember-basis doet het rustige werk, terwijl de Afterglow-gloed net genoeg spanning geeft om niet in het grijs weg te vallen.

PriciestNew Balance 990v2 Kithstrike Rose Rose (M990K2)$672We always compare the lowest price a colorway is currently on sale for somewhere: the cheapest entry point, usually for one specific size. The comparison stays within the same age group, because a kids size (TD/PS/GS) is priced differently than an adult size. Because the price varies per size, your size may come out a little higher. To keep the comparison fair we leave out the most and least expensive two percent — the resale outliers, and the price axis is logarithmic so both the cheap and the pricey end stay readable. We refresh the numbers several times a day; last update 11 Sep 2026.
Hypescore × price
Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 990 colorway (of the 119 with a Hypescore): the further right, the more hype, and the higher a dot sits, the cheaper the sneaker. This sneaker is the photo with the red ring (Hypescore 51). Below the RRP they're called meltdowns: top-left the quiet price meltdowns (cheap, but little attention yet), top-right the radiating meltdowns — lots of hype and well below retail, the hottest deals. Above the RRP sit the grails: bottom-right the radiating grails (loved and pricey), and bottom-left the potential grails — pricey with little hype. That can simply be too expensive, but it's often where fresh drops and collabs appear that are too new to have gathered grail votes; their hype still has to build.
