996 Gore-Tex. I am selling these because I purchased a different model. [Product Description] The "CM996" is the first to feature GORE-TEX®, which boasts excellent waterproofness to keep the inside of your shoes dry even on rainy days. The synthetic suede/mesh upper is colored in New Balance's legacy colors, which are easy to match with various outfits. This popular unisex size model precisely reproduces the original silhouette of the "996" that appeared in 1988, and features a two-layer midsole with C-CAP and a PU insole for a comfortable fit. Main color: Gray Model name: 900 series Model/Product name: 996
