Purchased from the official store around the time before the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a limited edition model of the black 996 with gold accents. There is some slight damage to the upper part of the "new balance" lettering on the heel, but otherwise, there is no significant damage. The following is an excerpt from the product description: The masterpiece color scheme, with black accented by gold and silver, is back. This is the 30th-anniversary model of the M996, which was born in 1988. The color scheme adopts the second color of the 996, which was designed as a "Foot Locker" exclusive in 1989. The black suede upper recreates the texture and nap of the 1988 model. White stitching is added to create a contrast, and beautiful gold and silver accents are added. Also, the new balance logo used at the time is printed on the heel. This is a classic and luxurious sneaker befitting the 30th-anniversary model. Discounts are not available.
