New Balance Mrl696 Deconstructed

UPDATE: Finally we get a detailed view thanks to Packer Shoes. Check the fine details on these before hitting up Packer to score either colour.

New Balance 696 is back for another take today, but in a form unlike anything we have seen before. Constructed in a minimalist fashion, the 'Deconstructed' series sees the 996 stripped back to only the essential layers and trimmed up in a mixture of nubuck and suede. The first three introductory colours are kept to a similarly muted palette, all resting comfortably aboard a Revlite outsole. All three are hitting select NB stockists as we speak, so if you're looking to cop any or three, hit up Overkill.
