The New Balance Shoes On Sale newest testament to this is their soon-to-release 996 OG whose classic panelling akin to the more popular 574 comes dressed up in hues asymmetric from the left to right foot. Constructions are, of course, kept true to the Boston label’s stamp of quality as pig suedes comprise the overlays, metallic reflective sits on the “N” logo and heel wrap, and finishing touches refine by way of a smooth leather throughout. Toe boxes swap between shades light an dark with the adjacent doing the same in contrast; heel wraps are either a dark navy or right red as support caps adorn in gold sheen.
Each New Balance Shoes Grey features a surplus of supple tonal suede on its mesh upper, while providing contrast with a bold hi-vis reflective midfoot logo and heel tab. A small strip of soft brown suede runs down the midfoot to accent the hand-crafted construction, and an intentionally yellowed heel clip offers a dash of retro style. Down below, a trim two-tone ENCAP midsole guarantees classic comfort and support.
Specifically, the New Balance Shoes Women medial side “N” logo has been swapped for a small embroidered iteration, and, in an effort to make the shoe look like a well-loved pair from the ’80s, Fujii applied plush suede to the upper and a faux yellowing treatment to the midsole. Finally, taking the term “streetwear” literally, Fujii took cues from Japanese roads to give the shoe a grey palette, complete with a concrete pattern on the insole, and completed the redesign by adding elastic gussets to the tongue, meaning that the shoe can be worn with the shoelaces removed.
New Balance 996 Light Bluee has collaborated with six Japanese brands to release their very own special-ediiton of the New Balance 996. Those labels includes: atmos, United Arrows, nonnative, N.Hoolywood, Beams, and mita. Each brand has created their own take on the classic 996 silhouette in a mix of colors, patterns, and materials.
