New Balance 996 MiUSA Gray Silver

Constructed of materials with an American domestic value of at least 70%, the New Balance 996 MiUSA Gray Silver was released during one of New Balance’s iconic Gray Days, where the sneaker company celebrates the color that has become their hallmark. The neutral colorway features a breathable grayish-taupe mesh base, complemented by lighter grayish-taupe suede overlays on the toecap, midfoot, side panel, eyestays, and heel. A peachy-tan suede strip provides contrast at the collar. The molded cream-colored heel counter provides stability and showcases New Balance branding. With an ENCAP cushioning midsole in white and taupe, soft foam encircled by a firmer polyurethane rim offers exceptional support. The black and gray rubber outsole features lugs and grooves that absorb impact while providing grip. Notable are the gray leather accents at the side-panel N and the branded heel tab, adding an eye-catching sheen. The New Balance 996 MiUSA Gray Silver was released on May 12, 2023, for $175 retail.
