New Balance Men's X-90 Trainers

Product Information

Given its heavy, stitched-on overlays, the X-90 was never going to be as breathable as several other shoes on the market. Hoping to ride the wave of casual style and streetwear, they began a push for leisure time products and comfy, all-day pieces that would eventually be sought-after from coast to coast and beyond, all renowned for their quality and comfort.

Its upper is also reinforced with stitched-on overlays to ensure that it maintains its overall shape for longer and can still resist damage even after being used constantly. Reviews don’t really emphasize the X-90’s level of traction, so this obviously isn’t the shoes biggest selling point.

The firm cushioning provided by its REVlite midsole prevents over-flexing while its responsive nature absorbs each impact to keep the runner as stable as possible. The rubber compound covering its outsole keeps the rest of the shoe safeguarded from potential damage, and its geometric tread pattern provides decent traction on paved roads.Although reviews don’t indicate exactly how durable the X-90 really is, it can still be assumed that it lasts quite long.

A rubber compound covers all ground-contact areas of its outsole, and its REVlite midsole unit is designed to be lightweight without sacrificing any amount of sturdiness.

It’s also quite thick, especially at the back, meaning that the runner will be sufficiently cushioned in areas where they need it most. As mentioned at the beginning; this shoe has an elongated; sporty silhouette and although it has taken inspiration from 90’s designs; it is by no means a “dad shoe”. We see the X-90 optioned in four colorways, each featuring an engineered textile upper and oversized, aggressive tooling. Thanks to an uncompromising focus on premium materials and innovation, not to mention timeless style, the 990 established itself as a legendary stayer and a progenitor of the ‘Dad-shoe’ trend. This allows a decent amount of air flow into the foot chamber and more specific targeting of hotspots where they occur most often.

As an added bonus, its impressive range of color combinations gives almost everyone the perfect option based on their lifestyle or preferences. Aside from its firm and supportive cushioning, the X-90’s REVlite midsole provides just as much responsiveness as other materials that are 30 percent heavier. The X-90 has two different types of uppers, one with suede and textiles and another with synthetic leather and textiles. From its roots as a DIY-style fanzine to today’s global coverage, its pages have documented every colab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last two decades.

Reviewers are offered lightweight and responsive cushioning that keeps them stable throughout the day. The sleek design; curved sole and cleverly positioned contrasts on the NB X90 demonstrate the true craftmanship of the New Balance designers. Invest in a classic sports shoe this season with the iconic X90 men's trainer by fashion and leisure brand New Balance. Most of the X-90’s supportive qualities are thanks to its full-length REVlite midsole, which is firm to keep the foot stabilized yet still surprisingly lightweight.

Drawing the eye down towards the sole unit, each colour scheme utilises contrasting colours to highlight the generously-endowed foam zones. The suede, or synthetic leather, form a combined midfoot cage and heel counter that wraps securely around the foot and integrates with the lacing system for a more lock-in fit. The REVlite midsole provides both optimum shock absorption and cushioning; while the double laces on the front of the shoe can be adjusted to suit your own feet. Like any other casual running shoe, the X-90 gives the wearer all the protection that they’ll need for everyday life. And while the combined heel counter and midfoot cage support the foot and prevent accidental removal, its textile upper ensures proper airflow to keep odor and irritations at bay.

To achieve this without sacrificing functional support, New Balance have used new-gen production methods, with a knitted bootie featuring on the black version and precision-cut nubuck on the white edition. However, it does seem to be decent enough to carry the wearer securely through everyday activities and casual workouts. The end result is the X-90, which serves as the perfect balance between a vintage aesthetic and more modern functionality. The X-90 pulls inspiration from the 99x series, and is furthermore a celebration of '90s New Balance. While most of its center portion is hollow, it does feature a diamond-shaped pattern near the forefoot to better stabilize the gait cycle.
