The recently released New Balance 696 is the perfect shoe to keep you warm for the cool autumn months. The classic New Balance silhouette is recreated but paired with a sleek mid-top finish. This will ensure more coverage of your foot and ankle, while keeping the iconic brand's style in check.
The monochromatic black finish gives you a neutral shoe perfect for any outfit. Throughout the upper, there is a Cordura mesh-like fabric to contrast the black suede exterior and leather branding. An off-white REVlite midsole gives the shoe a vintage look while also maximizing comfort.
The sleek all-black finish provides your wardrobe with a reliable and comfortable sneaker. The New Balance 696 fuses together the classic look of a Sneakerboot while incorporating a modern black color palette.
