Introducing the New Balance 996

The New Balance 996, which first appeared in the early 1980s, has grown into one of the brand’s most iconic models, celebrated for its combination of style and performance.
Initially created as a running shoe, it reflected New Balance’s dedication to precision engineering, with a lightweight suede and mesh upper for breathability and the brand’s signature ENCAP midsole technology for support and cushioning. Over the years, the 996 has transcended its athletic roots, earning a loyal following among casual and streetwear enthusiasts thanks to its sleek silhouette, versatile colour options, and timeless, understated design.
Its lasting popularity comes from the perfect blend of comfort, durability, and simplicity, making it a favourite for both runners and lifestyle fans alike.
