New Balance Made in the USA – New Releases @ West NYC
May 31st, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments

Right now is a great time to be a fan of New Balance’s time-tested classic formula and three top-notch new drops from their Made in USA collection just released here in the States. We’ll start with the above pictured New Balance M996, a pair that’s dropped in a staggered release with the earlier stores already selling out. Its closest kin is another grey suede 900 series, this time the M998 in the classic 1993 OG look that gets reissued every few years. Breaking the mold and crossing the finish line is the venerable M576CD, a cordovan leather design whose precise name befits the quality of its build. Check out all three after the jump then get with West for yours.










That definitely does not look like cordovan.
never been a fan of the 996 despite the hype. While the descending diagonal heel line is kool, the plastic heel tab is cheap-looking and just wrong...
