Thank you for viewing. This is a New Balance M996. These are brand new, unworn, and have never had the laces threaded. Tags are still attached. Purchased at a New Balance directly-managed store. This is the now-rare M996, not the U996, which is a product name change. The midsole features "ENCAP" (encapsulated EVA in a PU midsole), which combines cushioning and stability. The outsole heel is equipped with CARBON RUBBER HEEL for high sole durability. 《Product Description》 While adopting the original design of the M996, which appeared in 1988, the upper is made of high-quality pigskin suede and mesh, finished in a chic gray, a heritage color that represents the brand. Although it is a new, unused item, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items that have been handled by others. Instant purchase is OK. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Comes with the original box. When purchasing or negotiating a discount, please take a look at my profile.
