Brand: New Balance Model: 990 Original Color: Gray/White Material: Suede/Mesh Size: US8.5 / 26.5cm Sole: Rubber sole Manufacturer: New Balance Sole by Vibram Made in: USA Year of manufacture: 1982 Weight: Approximately 338g (one shoe) This pair was manufactured in the United States in 1982 and was released at a price of $100, utilizing the best technology and materials available at the time. At the exchange rate of 280 yen per dollar, it sold for nearly 30,000 yen, an exorbitant price for the time. Although over 40 years have passed since its manufacture, the opening of the shoe shows some deterioration. However, the reflector on the heel still functions, and there is little degradation of the sole and midsole. Above all, this pair is spoken of as a cornerstone of historically valuable sneakers. The original outer box, wrapping paper, and insole are also included. Thank you for viewing.
