It’s not a deliberate ‘pack’ in the same sense as something like the ‘Road to London’ set(s) or their upcoming Flimby 30th anniversary celebration, but New Balance is clearly working with a theme across multiple models in their mid-high number range. Having seen similar motifs applied to the 998 and 1300, and now we get the ‘Denim Blue’ style applied to a silo we can’t do without in this, its silver anniversary year. This New Balance M996DB treats us to tonal suede and mesh, which is all blue and relies on silver accents and a white midsole for a more traditional NB style than had they gone completely ‘dipped’. Both other ‘Denim Blue’ NBs have released here in the US in recent weeks, so stick with Sneaker News to find out if/when these arrive and check out some additional images in the meantime.
