A New BEAMS x New Balance 996 is on the Way in All Its GORE-TEX Glory

Any older heads will know BEAMS and New Balance's relationship isn't exactly a new one. Since their first collab back in 2009, BEAMS and NB have developed a repertoire of silhouettes over the years together, and now the duo might just have produced one of their finest.

Teased just days ago via the BEAMS Instagram, a brand-new take on the New Balance 996 is set to arrive. Simply primed for the autumn, this latest silhouette embodies all the stylistic nuances the season has to offer.

Atop its C-CAP midsole that provides lightweight cushioning and flexibility, we see a mix of suede uppers with mesh overlays. At this point, we know what you're likely thinking - 'suede? in autumn?' but bear with us here. Fans of this model will be delighted to know this latest 996 arrives equipped with a GORE-TEX coating, protecting both that glorious fall makeup as well as your feet from the elements.

According to the post, this pair are "coming soon...." but your guess is about as good as ours as to when that will be. Be sure to set a release reminder below to ensure you don't miss your chance of copping this pair! In other footwear news, a Patta x New Balance 991v2 is reportedly dropping this week.
