Hereof, is New Balance 996 American made?
Made in New England, since 1906
New Balance is the only major sportswear brand still boasting a dedicated USA-made line. The USA-made 996 is an old-school, absolutely classic NB silhouette that’s part of the brand’s long-standing 990 collection — long viewed as the pinnacle of New Balance’s lineup.
Also born in the ’80s, this sneaker has true tennis sneaker appeal. It features simple and timeless styling, while also offering a lot of stability and support for the wearer in the form of an added H-strap styling (considering it was meant to be a workout/cross-training shoe).
Also question is, is New Balance 996 good for running?
Great shoe, classic style, and excellent fit! … A lot of the NB Classics line is more for fashion than comfort, but the 996 has the comfort of a true NB running shoe AND the cool look of an old-school shoe. If you have a wider foot, get the 2E width… you’ll love it!
