Save ₩80,000 by shopping US retailers

Purchasing the 990v7 locally in South Korea often results in a steep markup. While Korean retail prices can climb toward ₩350,000, US-based retailers maintain a lower MSRP. Even when adding international shipping rates, the total cost for the 2026 Core Grey model typically ends up being ₩80,000 cheaper than purchasing from local boutique resellers or specialized sneaker apps. You can use a shipping calculator to see the exact breakdown of the savings before you buy.

Shipping Estimates

When ordering the New Balance 990v7 from the United States, use these physical specifications to plan your delivery:

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg) including packaging
Box Dimensions Medium (Standard Shoebox: 35 x 25 x 13 cm)
Volumetric Warning Single pairs of sneakers rarely trigger volumetric weight charges. However, shipping multiple pairs in a single large box may increase the volumetric weight.
Battery Check This item contains no lithium batteries or electronic components.

Access exclusive width sizing in the US

One of the primary reasons to shop us store locations is the availability of specific widths. South Korean stock is often limited to standard 'D' widths. US stores offer the 2026 Core Grey in Narrow (B), Wide (2E), and Extra Wide (4E), ensuring you get the perfect fit for your foot shape. If you have questions about how these different sizes affect package weight, you can visit the FAQ section for more details.

Ship to South Korea using comGateway

Since many US sneaker retailers do not offer direct delivery to Seoul or Busan, you will need a freight forwarder. By using comGateway, you receive a tax-free us address in Oregon. This eliminates US sales tax at checkout, further increasing your total savings. This international shipping service then handles the transit from the US warehouse to your doorstep in South Korea.

South Korean customs and import tax rules

When importing footwear into South Korea from the US, the de minimis value is $200 USD. Because the New Balance 990v7 'Made in USA' MSRP is typically around $210 USD, the package will likely exceed the duty-free limit. You should prepare to pay import duties and VAT (10%) upon arrival. Even with these additional costs, the 'Number Crunch' remains in your favor, as the total still beats the inflated local resale prices found in 2026.
