The original designers of the 990 were given the ultimate challenge: create the best running shoe ever made. And boy, did they deliver. When it debuted in 1982, the 990 impressed with its simple yet elegant grey color and unprecedented high price tag. For serious runners and fashion-forward tastemakers, the 990 was a symbol of excellence and sophistication. Though it has undergone updates and offered in more colors, the aspirational status of the 990 remains unchanged.
