Loro Piana x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA "Raw Cashew" Sneakers

The Loro Piana x New Balance 990v6 is what happens when a house that built its name on vicuña and cashmere turns its attention to a running shoe. Loro Piana was founded in Quarona in northern Italy in 1924, and this collaboration arrived in September 2024, the company's centenary year, limited to 1,000 pairs worldwide.

Raw Cashew is a soft, warm neutral, and the shoe is worked almost entirely in it: a tonal upper with nubuck overlays, so the interest comes from texture rather than contrast, with a burgundy trim outlining the New Balance N and Loro Piana branding on the tongue tag. Inside, the lining is Loro Piana wool, which is the detail that separates this from every other premium 990, it feels like their knitwear rather than a sneaker liner.

Underneath, it stays a proper New Balance. The 990v6 is made in the USA and rides on the ENCAP midsole with FuelCell foam and a polyurethane rim, which is why the 990 line has kept its reputation for all-day comfort across six generations. It is a quiet shoe that rewards close attention, which is precisely the Loro Piana position. At Konesseur, every pair is authenticated and verified before listing.
