We are now far from the sleek grey colorway released in 1982. Despite updates and new color options, the 990's status as a coveted shoe has never wavered. The 990v2 boasts a premium upper and ABZORB cushioning in the midsole. This time we have a mix of Pink, Purple and Yellow which makes the pair completely different and I find that we are not noticing the exact V2 shape with these colors.
