If you can’t wait for the new 247 model luxe pack that will debut in the new year, which the Drop Date wrote about just a few days ago, to get your stripped down and slim New Balance look, the NEW BALANCE 696 DECONSTRUCTED PACK might be just the ticket, as it sees the return of the retro runner in a winter ready format.
The silhouette gives you your pick of three different colourways: black, olive or tan. The upper is constructed from premium nubuck and features mesh panels along the tongue, perforated detailing on the vamp and ‘N’ logo – a notable motif in this 696 Deconstructed series – waxed shoe laces and a woven label on the tongue. New Balance has been playing around with the deconstructed look rather a lot over the last year or so, with the 696 Deconstructed in particular first surfacing in 2014 and returning in various iterations since then, including a summer release in two similarly muted colourways. With the low key colours to choose from and a slim, deconstructed look, these cold season 696 pack colourways are surely worthy of strong consideration for your winter rotation.
