The New Balance 990v4 “Pumpernickel/Pink Chalk” will launch at NewBalance.com and select retail outlets for $185.
Dark brown reigns supreme here as Pumpernickel covers the mudguard, eyestays, heel, and overlays along the bottom of the shoe. It’s also used on the shoe’s laces, midsole and outsole. Using brown as a base anchors the shoe down a bit giving it some weight to offset all of the pink on display throughout the upper.
Pink Chalk hits the toe box, tongue, collar, and panels along either side of the shoe. Matching overlays weave through the forefoot and midfoot sections while Alabaster is used on the shoe’s lining and trim for a softer vintage feel. Gold accents on “N” logos and branding complete the look with just enough pop of color without going overboard.
The silhouette sports all of the trappings we love about the 990v4 formula. The layered paneling is present, as are the “990” heel branding, New Balance branded tongues, and Made in USA labeling. The colors differ, but the allure is all too familiar.
The New Balance 990v4 “Pumpernickel/Pink Chalk” will launch Summer 2026 at NewBalance.com and select retail outlets for $185.
