Why the v7 is worth my money

I have been waiting for the New Balance 990v7 'Made in USA' (Core Grey) since the first leaks surfaced late last year. Now that it officially launched on May 10, 2026, the hype is real. I prefer the 'Made in USA' line because the craftsmanship is noticeably better than mass-produced alternatives. In Spain, local retailers often have very limited stock or skip the 'Made in USA' iterations entirely, leaving us with fewer choices.

We see these popular products appearing on the us trends pages, but the local price hike in Europe is often frustrating. I noticed that the v7 features an updated ENCAP midsole and a slightly more streamlined silhouette compared to the v6, making it the cleanest daily driver I own for 2026. Because I wanted the authentic US release, I decided to bypass local resellers.

How I shopped US stores from Spain

I realized that the most direct way to get my hands on these was to shop us store sites directly. The New Balance US website had plenty of stock in my size, but they do not ship internationally to Spain. This is where I utilized my tax-free us address provided by my freight forwarder.

I have found that using a parcel forwarding service is much more reliable than hoping a US retailer eventually offers international shipping. By using comGateway, I was able to have my shoes delivered to a warehouse in a tax-free state, which saved me from paying US sales tax on top of the retail price.

Shipping Estimates for the 990v7

I always make sure to calculate my costs before I hit the checkout button. I used a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the standard New Balance packaging. Here is the breakdown I prepared for my shipment to Spain:

By knowing these details, I avoided any surprises when the final invoice arrived. I recommend that you always forward packages with a provider that offers repacking services to minimize the box size and lower your costs.

My experience with Spain import tax

A common myth I hear in Spain is that import tax makes US shopping too expensive. While it is true that we have to account for GST/VAT and customs tax, the total price I paid for the 990v7 was still lower than what specialty boutiques in Madrid were charging for pre-orders.

I recommend reading more about how import duties are calculated for the EU. In my case, the process was straightforward because my package forwarding provider handled the documentation correctly. I simply paid the fees when the parcel entered Spain, and it arrived at my door two days later. If you want to stay ahead of the curve in 2026, don't let the fear of customs stop you from getting the best gear from the US.
