For a six-pronged pack revealed in July 2019, New Balance and Japanese menswear label Nonnative collided to rework the classic 996. The sneaker gives nostalgic appeal in tricolored hairy suede, leather and textile with elastic tongue straps and a TPU heel clip. Logo embroidery replaces the signature 'N' patches on the sides. A pre-yellowed Encap midsole and rubber outsole with concrete-like detailing carry a vintage feel.
