For those who don’t want to give up their sneakers, even in bad weather, New Balance has thought of them this season. The MRH696 takes the 996 running silhouette, and retrofits it as a fall ready hiking boot. This version has been made with a mix of ripstop / suede supplemented by lacing rings, padding around the ankles, a REVlite cushioned midsole, as well as subtle keys 3M reflective on the “N” logo and and back tab, which complements the functional aspect of this shoe. This New Balance MRH696 is available in black or brown now at brand retailers, such as Bodega and Kith NYC.
