They never had a ‘Dan or Dave’, a Michael Johnson or a Usain Bolt, but is there any other brand you’d more strongly associate with both ‘classic runner’ and ‘American pride’ than New Balance? And once Nike Sportswear’s Olympic showcase has passed, it’ll be those ‘Made in USA’ NB releases that consistently bring fresh new looks to time-tested models. This New Balance 996 ‘American Flag’ design is on tap for the first half of 2013 just like all the rest of the previews from Bread & Butter Berlin, their starred navy heels a reminder that with brands like WHIZ, NB manages to cover the globe in suede and mesh. Click through to see this pair’s mostly leather build, let us know how they compare to other red, white and blue New Bals like the second ‘Road to London’ set and stick with Sneaker News for release info. via HS
