The New Balance Men's FuelCell 996v6 is a tennis shoe in standard D width. It continues the brand's signature 996 line. The shoe runs narrow, and a wider 2E width is also available.
The upper is a reengineered, lightweight mesh that is breathable, flexible and supportive. The traditional tongue has "wings" that work like a half sleeve to hold the foot in place. A PU medial guard protects the toe. The fit is improved through the heel and forefoot for a more locked-down feel.
FuelCell foam runs the full length of the midsole and is New Balance's most propulsive, highest-energy-return foam to date. A top-loaded shank adds torsional stability. An Ortholite insert provides underfoot comfort. The non-marking NDurance rubber outsole adds durability in high-wear areas.
