New Balance's 996 sneakers come in two versions: one, with its distinctly retro styling, is pitched for effortless days off, while the V2 is engineered for modern athletes. Whichever option you go for, you're guaranteed high performance and sleek shapes. Watch out for details like the Revlite soles, which provide the same cushioning as some of the label's other options with 30 percent less weight. Cool colors and soft suedes and leather round out a perfectly pitched collection of sporty footwear.
