New Balance FuelCell 990v6 Black Silver (GS)

The New Balance FuelCell 990v6 Black Silver (GS) is a grade-school version of the iconic 990 series, blending classic running heritage with modern performance cushioning. Built for everyday wear, it features a sleek black-and-silver colorway that keeps the look clean, versatile, and sporty.

Designed with a mix of leather and mesh upper, this model offers durability while maintaining breathability. The shoe is powered by FuelCell foam, which provides a responsive, slightly springy feel for comfort and forward motion. It also includes ENCAP midsole cushioning, combining soft foam with a supportive polyurethane rim for stability during all-day use. Reflective accents add visibility and a subtle technical touch.

Originally part of the legendary 990 line introduced in the 1980s, the 990v6 continues the series’ reputation for comfort and premium construction—now adapted for younger wearers in the GS (Grade School) sizing range.
