The New Balance 696 Deconstructed Tan is a deconstructed version of the brand’s classic 996 runner. Influenced by the casual style of a high end mocassin, the 696 boasts a tonal suede upper with perforations across the construction. Additional premium elements can be found on the branded leather tongue patch and rawhide laces. A cushioned REVlite sole unit is paired with a heel counter.
