For a six-piece series centering coveted Japanese labels, Mita and New Balance joined forces to recreate the classic 996 sneaker in August 2019. White stripes lend a graphical twist to a neutral-colored pigskin suede and textile upper. A neon 'N' patch on the medial side serves as a nod to 'uguisu,' one of Tokyo’s signature hues. A tri-tone Encap midsole and solid rubber outsole add a finishing touch.
