The 890 are back, after a little period of spiritual retreat plus another couple of years in which they have been going through a readaptation process, they have rediscovered themselves and come back with great strength and desire to bid again for the throne of Best Shoes Mixed, an honor already held by some of their ancestors in various editions of the Best Running Shoes awards.

CARE

• We suggest cleaning New Balance athletic shoes using a soft bristle brush (or an old toothbrush) and a mild detergent (either dishwasher or washing machine). Make sure the detergent is dye-free to prevent staining. If you are unsure, we recommend that you do a spot check with the detergent to ensure that it does not stain the shoe material. Let them air dry for 24 hours. To eliminate and prevent sweat, we recommend using a foot deodorant. We do NOT recommend washing the shoes in the washing machine or using the dryer, since some materials can be damaged by heat or too much water. Make sure the cleaners you use are silicone-based so you don't damage the shoe. Clean suede or leather footwear with specific products for these materials. For best results, always follow the instructions on the cleaning product.
