New Balance’s Satin-Laced 996 Dad Shoe Is a Rare Breed

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.highsnobiety.com/static-assets/dato/1785703099-new-balance-996-satin-shoelaces-0.jpg”]

New Balance’s latest 996s are a rare breed of dad shoes.

For one, these sneakers aren’t just aura-maxing. They’re texture-maxing, too. They feature a combination of buttery leather, smooth suede, and satin touches across the upper. Oh, and they also have satin shoelaces.

It’s a pleasant surprise for many reasons. One, who doesn’t love satin shoelaces? They’re so cute. Second, New Balance doesn’t do this often.

You might catch silky-laced New Balances on the DIY side of TikTok. But the brand itself doesn’t do lace swaps frequently. It’ll switch things up with techy toggle shoelaces and sometimes leather lace-ups if you’re a Miu Miu sneaker. But other than that, New Balance keeps its dad shoes very normal, down to the shoelaces.

Sometimes, it’ll even go lace-free.
