What is the appeal of the New Balance " MRL996 "? A good quality sneaker that makes the classic model more affordable

Reasons why the New Balance “996” is popular (1) “Composite upper that combines breathability and design

The upper of the 996 is a combination design of suede and mesh. This is a standard detail that has been used in many other New Balance shoes, but the reason it has remained unchanged over the years is because it makes so much sense. Suede is a design element that is also resistant to rain. In addition, mesh material is used on the instep and other parts of the shoe to ensure breathability.

Reason for the popularity of the New Balance “996” (2) “This is the NB sneaker! The assertive big N logo”.

The N mark on the side. The “N” mark on the side of the sneakers is a symbolic detail that identifies them as “New Balance sneakers. The size of the N mark differs depending on the model, with sneakers up to the late 1990s using the larger “Deka N” mark, and later models using the smaller “Chibi N.” The “M996,” which was introduced in 1988, is the first New Balance sneaker to feature the “N” mark. The “M996,” which was introduced in 1985, and the “MRL996,” which was released in 2012, use the same “Deca N” as the original. The slightly retro-looking N mark matches the 90s revival trend.
