Santis' Season 2 collection has taken the footwear and apparel world by storm, and it's not finished yet. The 996 has been a fan-favorite since New Balance introduced the model in 1988.

Saying the lifestyle sneaker has enjoyed a revival in popularity is doing the model a disservice. As fashion trends change, the quintessentially-American shoe remains a staple in the sneaker rotation of people all over the world.

Santis went with a familiar two-toned blue colorway with premium materials. A navy pigskin suede upper is contrasted by a light blue mesh on the toebox, collar, and tongue. 

The white laces and cream outsole complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic, while a black rubber outsole empowers consumers to actually wear their shoes and break them in on the streets or in nature.
