New Balance MRL996FU Reengineered

After unveiling a red version back in February, here we find a continuation of the New Balance “Reengineered” pack hitting shelves in the form of a blue alternative. Like its sporty red brethren, this iteration builds on the aesthetics of the classic 996 silhouette, stripping it of excess bulk and hitting the sweet spot between ‘runner’ and ‘chiller.’ Tech-forward FantomFit design – taped seams and Engineered Mesh – at the toe box through the midfoot mold to the foot while allowing supreme breathability, yet at the back, the sneaker harkens to an old-school sensibility with premium mesh. All this rests atop a cushy, sculpted REVlite midsole, ensuring all-day comfort. Pick up this iteration of the MRL996 at retailers like Afew now.
