Originally released as the Grant Hill 2, Fila made a significant change to the design of the Fila 96 in 2013 by transforming it into a low-top silhouette. Despite the modification, the shoe has retained its original colorway, showcasing a combination of white leather and navy patent leather detailing on the mudguard, heel, and eyestay. To proudly display the brand, prominent Fila logos are prominently featured on the quarter panel and tongue of the shoe.
