New Balance 990 V3 JJJJound Olive

As hard as it is to believe that it’s almost 2023, it’s even harder to believe how quickly 2022 flew by us. These New Balance 990 V3s were released as a collaboration with JJJJound back in February, which somehow still feels like it was just a couple of months ago. One of the best sneakers of the year, this Olive-colored pair of New Balance 990s delivers the brand’s iconic silhouette with olive mesh, premium suede uppers, a silver reflective heel wrap, and black logos that create quite the contrast. Playful yet still minimal, JJJJound’s return to the New Balance catalog in 2022 was an unquestionable success, just like your holiday season if you give these to the sneakerhead in your life. And just in case this olive green isn’t quite your giftee’s favorite color, JJJJound and New Balance are delivering the same style in a brown colorway later this year.
