It’s always a pleasure for me to just walk in the mall and find rarities; what i mean by that is not something impossible to get, but a shoe so well executed that it captivates your attention.Well the New Balance NB Pink Ribbon 990v4 falls in my category of rarities; the shoe is dressed in a Komen Pink based upper resting on a grey and white midsole. It also features reflective details that catch the light at night- a perfect combination of cushioning and stability.
The New Balance NB Pink Ribbon 990v4 is covered with a combo of pigskin and mesh on the upper part ; the tongue along with the inner liner were constructed with dual density foam to deliver comfort and foot stability.Cushioning is an integral part of the 990 model with the use of THE ENCAP technology on the midsole ( a combination of a core EVA encapsulated in a PU shell for superior cushioning). New Balance has also made some improvement with the version 4 of the 990’s to enhance breathability.
