Introducing the "CM996" from New Balance. This model combines the upper design of the 996, which solidified the popularity of the 990 series in the 1980s, with a lightweight and cushioned C-CAP midsole. The outsole design has also been updated, further enhancing stability. It has been a long-selling model, loved not only as a running shoe but also for everyday wear. Its smart design makes it a versatile item for any occasion. ■ C-CAP Sole EVA material is compression-molded using a unique manufacturing process, achieving both cushioning and weight reduction. The midsole also boasts excellent durability. I have used these for several years, and there is some discoloration on the heels, but there are no holes, and there are no issues with use.
