The 990 designers were tasked with creating the best running shoe on the market, and they exceeded all expectations. When they were first released in 1982, the 990 was distinguished by its elegant pastel colors and three-figure price tag, a true status symbol for runners and trendsetters. Since then, the shoe has undergone several updates and colorways, while maintaining its distinctive spirit. The 990 is so good that we have never stopped making it.
