In July 2019, New Balance and renowned Japanese streetwear brand atmos further extended their longstanding design collaboration by introducing a distinctive edition of the popular 996 sneaker. This unique variant features a contemporary remix with mismatched color blocks adorning the suede and textile uppers, offering a nod to the ongoing trend of asymmetrical designs. To enhance its vibrant appeal, the sneaker is complemented by neon laces, semi-transparent 'N' patches on the sides, and multi-hued logos. The construction of this special edition is finalized with a two-tone Encap midsole and durable rubber outsole, ensuring both style and functionality.
