Just picked up a limited edition black/purple New Balance 990. This is said to be a tribute to Japanese console games.Note the black patent leather, perforated purple suede and embroidered rainbow logo on the heel and rainbow "N" on the tongue. Comes with white and multicolor laces, a welcome change considering how busy the colors are elsewhere.
In the technology department the shoe features a 3/4-length ABZORB EX sole (hence “990EX”) for shock absorption. ABZORB EX is the combination of NB’s premium ABZORB foam material and an outside air bubble.
These shoes are soooo dope in person! Really vibrant purple suede and the black patent leather definitely makes the shoe pop!

i lost my sneaks in cairo. or maybe it was the white desert. anyway, it was egypt. and lemme tell you - they don't have new balance in egypt! i got some cheapo counterfeit sneakers, they felt like i was walking on cardborad and duct tape. lucily i lost those too. now i'm wearing tevas with socks. (yes, it's that bad.) when i get back to the states, i mean FIRST THING, i buy me some 991s. and a pedicure... PEACE!
