While these would have undoubtedly been a good look a couple days ago, the "American Flag" edition of the New Balance 996 is slated to be a part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2013 campaign. The suede, leather, and mesh kicks boast the obvious American flag aesthetic, while sitting atop a gum outsole. Expect them to hit early next year.
