I purchased this authentic, new item about three years ago and have been using it. There is some soiling and wear on the soles, but I think it's still usable. The shoelaces have been replaced with alwayth reflective shoelaces from the original white ones. (Although not shown in the photos, I will include the shopping bag) The standard model may be reissued in the future, but this 40th-anniversary model is a valuable model that will never be reissued again. If you were looking for this, please consider it at this time. New Balance 990 Version 3 sneakers using gray suede and mesh material. - Brand: New Balance - Model: 990 - Version: Version 3 - Color: Gray - Material: Suede/Mesh
