Designed with the help of New Balance tour pros, the New Balance 996v7 is designed to carry on the comfort and cushioning that the franchise is known for, but with a more supportive and stable feel that competitors demand. Carrying on with the FuelCell cushioning system underfoot, these shoes feel well padded where you need it most but also very quick and responsive with each stride. The upper design has been reconfigured for a good blend of durability and ventilation; Ndure technology is wear-resistant, while the mesh windows keep you light and feeling cool. Where these seventh gen 996s have really made strong improvements is the stability and support; a more secure mid-foot shank extends towards the heels, delivering a much more stable ride during quick lateral movements. The NDurance rubber outsole has been beefed up where competitive players need it most, and formed into a modified herringbone design to supply traction on a variety of surfaces; but the tread pattern performs best when playing on hard courts. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
