New Balance 996v6 D Daybreak/Berry Men's Shoes
4.0
This 6th version of the 996 carries on the legacy of lightweight comfort, speed, and the FuelCell midsole for a smooth ride!
Built for players who crave lightweight speed in their court shoes, the New Balance 996v6 D is comfortable and supportive with FuelCell in the midsole! This update carries on the comfortable and responsive feel underfoot with the full length FuelCell, while the upper has been re-engineered for increased support and durability in the areas you need it most. With this 6th edition New Balance made strategic improvements to increase the lock-down around the heels and in the forefoot. The NDurance rubber compound provides durability in high-wear areas, and the traction grips and gives when needed for the gritty hard courts. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
- Upper: Lightweight engineered mesh upper for comfort and ventilation, while it is reinforced in target areas to maximize support and improve upper durability.
- Midsole: Full length FuelCell for soft cushion, and propulsion for each stride.
- Outsole: NDurance rubber outsole in multi-directional tread pattern. Great traction on any court surface, but this version is ideal for hard courts. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
- Color: Daybreak / Berry

Customer Reviews
shoesThe fit is consistently great!
Not right for my foot.Nothing wrong with the shoes they just didn’t fit my particular feet well. They had less height inside the shoe than what I needed. I’ve had success with KSwiss and ASICS but I wanted to try NB out because they are a well respected brand.
Generally DisappointedFeel too stiff and flat. Tad uncomfortably odd in the toe box as well. Felt better after breaking them in, but I don't like shoes that require a break in in the first place! Do not recommend, will not reorder.
Great shoesComfortable yet secure fit!
Needs toe guard6 month warranty but company refuses as says dragging foot. My son is playing high level utr tennis. If not going to honor warranty don’t advertise. We go through shoes every two months.
SizeFits true to size
Great Shoe - Checks all the boxesBecause the NewBalance CT Rally wasn't available, I tried this pair of shoes and I have been pleasantly surprised with its quality. It is almost as comfortable and cushiony as the CT Rally but it is more responsive and hugs my foot better. It has similar response to the KSwiss Ultrashot 3 but more comfortable. It runs slightly small so since I am in between a 10.5 and 11, I opted for the 11 size. Very impressive and great overall shoe. It might be my new go-to shoe for the future.
Enjoy this shoeFrom the perspective of a size 13D, New Balance is the ONLY shoemaker that comes close. The comfort level with the cushioning under the pad of your foot and the snug fit across my entire foot is appreciated. If you have a narrow foot, look no further than NB.
No nonsenseI have more difficulty finding decent tennis shoes than even running shoes, and that’s saying a lot. These fit pretty snug at first but break in nicely. I’ve seen some reviews that say they’re short but to me they’re true to size. This is just a very usable, high quality tennis shoe. Nothing special, but the upper fits well with no heel slip, and it’s mercifully breathable. The tread pattern works for hard court and for har-tru clay. Shock absorption from the midsole is average for a tennis shoe, but the tradeoff is that you get a really good stable grounded feel. I’m honestly not sure why these don’t cost more, maybe NB needs to work on player sponsorship. If I have a gripe, they weigh too much, like every other tennis shoe. Most of us don’t need a ~15 oz shoe for league play.
New BalanceI like New Balance 996 shoes. I have 3 pairs of 996v4 and 1 996v6.
I purchased all of them from Tennis Warehouse. The delivery has been efficient and reliable.
