Just a moment, securing your connection...

While local boutiques in Sydney and Melbourne might eventually stock these, the initial drop is heavily skewed toward US retailers. If you want to stay ahead of the latest us trends, shopping directly from American stores is currently the only way to secure the 990v7 before they sell out globally.

Correcting the Myth about International Shipping Costs

There is a common assumption among Australian shoppers that shipping individual pairs of shoes from the US is prohibitively expensive. This is often not the case when you look at the math. In 2026, the retail price for the 990v7 in the US is approximately $220 USD. In Australia, once you factor in the "Australia Tax" and boutique markups, the price often skyrockets to $430 AUD or more. Even after paying for a freight forwarder, you can save $115 on the New Balance 990v7 compared to waiting for a local retail release that may never even hit your size.

By using a tax-free us address, you avoid US sales tax entirely, which further increases your savings. You can use a shipping calculator to see exactly how the numbers stack up for your specific location.

Why US Stores are Better for Specific Widths

One of the biggest frustrations for New Balance fans in Australia is the limited range of width sizes. Most local retailers only carry the standard 'D' width. The US-made 990v7 launch includes the full spectrum of widths, including B (Narrow), 2E (Wide), and 4E (Extra Wide). If you have a wider foot, you essentially have to shop us store options to get a fit that doesn't pinch. This access to variety is a major reason why many Australians prefer to buy from US ship to Australia.

Getting Around US Store Payment Blocks

Even if you find the 990v7 in stock at a major US retailer, you might hit a wall at the checkout. Stores like New Balance US, Nike, and several high-end sneaker boutiques frequently block international credit cards or cancel orders that use a known forwarding address. This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes a lifesaver.

When you use "BuyForMe," comGateway acts as your proxy. We use a US domestic credit card to purchase the items on your behalf, ensuring the order is accepted and processed without the risk of an automatic cancellation. It is the safest way to guarantee you do not miss out on limited-edition 2026 drops. If you are unsure about the process, you can always check the FAQ or contact the support team for assistance.
