The N.HOOLYWOOD x New Balance 996 belongs to a collection that debuted in August 2019, targeting the Japanese market. Embracing a conservative color palette, this version showcases a combination of leather and pigskin suede, complemented by a ripstop tongue and a ballistic mesh underlay. To add a contemporary touch, overbranding elements are incorporated through embroidered logos, printed laces, and signature 'N' patches. Consistently following the theme, the sneaker features a pre-yellowed Encap midsole with a durable rubber outsole.
