Carhartt WIP and New Balance have just announced the launch of a limited edition trainer that exemplifies the best of both brands. A collaborative version of the MADE in USA 990v6 celebrates a shared history of creating iconic originals, featuring uppers in Carhartt WIP’s signature Hamilton Brown. The very colourway of the new trainer is its defining feature: a rich Hamilton Brown, reminiscent of the earthy tones Carhartt WIP is known for, dominates the upper of the shoes. This earthy hue is present in the pigskin suede and synthetic overlays, giving the shoes a rugged look that's perfect for the outdoors, yet sophisticated enough to accompany any situation in city life.

One of the most important aspects of this launch is that it proudly carries the 'Made in USA' label, New Balance's highest product line that continues to invest in American manufacturing to this day. Precisely because of this, the Carhartt WIP X New Balance Made in USA 990v6 boasts a number of impressive features: the suede construction made from pigskin, known for its durability and luxurious texture, ensure durability and comfort; the mesh layers provide breathability, making these trainers suitable for extended use, and the FuelCell midsole and rubber outsole make it stable and perfect for dealing with any impact. In terms of branding, Carhartt WIP branding can be found on the tongue and inserts along with New Balance branding.
