New Balance's "Connoisseur Painters" Collection Continues

Another premium New Balance 990 pair from the U.S. factories.

You can pay $190 for remastered Air Jordans next year or you could pay $180 for Made in USA New Balances right now.

We're not saying that Jordan Brand isn't genuine about the corrections that they're making with respect to material quality and shape, but don't forget that New Balance has been dedicated to recreating classic models with a premium approach for a while now. This latest New Balance 990, which again features rich suedes and Vibram tooling on bottom, is a fine example of that. Check out some extra images on them below and grab a pair for yourself from Premier if you approve.
