The holiday season has been full of great sneakers releases with more still trickling in as the last days of 2012 fly by. Finishing off another remarkable calendar year, New Balance continues to impress with footwear from their Made in USA line. One of their most celebrated silhouettes, and a personal favorite of ours, the M996 runner gets dressed in soft patriotic tones to ring in the new year. Trust us when we say this is pair you don’t want to pass up. The New Balance 996 “Grey/Navy” Made in USA sports a plush grey tonal upper laced in suede and mesh materials. A navy blue saddled patch highlights the top portion of the shoe which also holds the “N” logo in grey outlined by red. 3M detailing also makes its presence felt on the shoe which rest on an ENCAP sole in smooth colorway that’s sure to turn heads.
