Just recently the atmos crew made a splash by teaming up with New Balance and collaborating on a pair of 996s that resemble the Nike SB Dunk High Dino Jr.’s in colorway. Now, New Balance has chosen to go another popular colorway route. Seen here is a preview of the New Balance 996 done up in what strongly resembles a Livestrong colorway. The shoe’s upper comes in a predominantly suede grey base, with black mesh on the toe box, and yellow and white accents throughout. What’s of even better news is that this sleek design is available now from New Balance retailers for as low a price as $89.99- so do NOT sleep on these.

Sneakerheads around the world are already familiar with the byword: Spring showers bring New Balance flavors. Strictly used by hardcore joggers and marathoners, the 996 was appreciated for its thoughtful design and technical comfort when it hit the market back int the mid-’90s. Recently however, the sleek runner has seen a resurgence in the casual/lifestyle market. In 2009, NB will take the model down two different paths, offering it up in a “Candy” pack and “Pantone” collection. The former (the top row of kicks in the image) is inspired by M&M’s and the silver wrapping covering your favorite cocoa delectables. The latter is energized by obscure, vintage-inspired color combinations. Images provided via Ransom Ramblings.
