The New Balance × Loro Piana 990v6 brings together New Balance's Made in USA running heritage and Loro Piana's material vocabulary, released as a limited collaboration in the Raw Cashew colourway. Built on the familiar 990v6 last, the shoe keeps the model's proportions while replacing its usual materials with a quieter, more considered palette.
The upper combines a cream/beige tone with grey mesh panels and burgundy accents at the N logo and tongue, where "Loro Piana" is embroidered within a burgundy window. The sole unit is New Balance's FuelCell, finished in cream and burgundy to match the upper, with "Ndurance" branding visible underfoot. Press coverage of the release describes the upper as a premium nubuck built on a base incorporating Pecora Nera wool. The box and interior label on this pair are marked U990LO6; industry press and resale platforms most commonly reference the same shoe as U990LP6, with StockX listing both codes for the release. This pair is sized US 8.5 M / UK 8 / EU 42 (26.5 cm, D width), Made in USA.
These shoes are new, as declared by the seller, and appear unworn, with insoles and laces intact. They are presented with the full set of collaboration packaging: the branded box, tissue paper, two cotton dustbags, an envelope and a card, all in the co-branded Loro Piana and New Balance design.
