New Balance’s classic color schemes are always a source of delight for fans of the brand, usually signaling more premium materials and attention to detail. This week, the fan-favorite 996 gets that honor, released in “Classic Grey” earlier this week.
First released in 1988, the New Balance 996 is another well-known essential in the Boston brand’s long history of performance running sneakers. These days, the vintage runner is strictly delegated to the brand’s lifestyle category, which saw a revival at the end of 2019 thanks to the brand’s Japan Design Studio. Now, the 996 is widely available, with new colorways releasing regularly to keep up with demand. This week’s drop sees the vintage runner in the classic New Balance grey color scheme, complete with pigskin suede overlays for the ultimate New Balance construction. Currently available via Kith, this pair features 3M accents on the heels and oversized ‘N’ logos to stand out.
