New Balance X J. Crew Women's 996 Vintage Shoes Pink with Off White / Size 8 Great condition! I only wore maybe 3-4 times JCREW New Balance started making shoes in the U.S. over 75 years ago, and they’re now famous for kicks that combine fashion and function-just ask any true sneakerhead. This season, our design team worked with the New England brand to create a limited-edition run of never-before-seen color combinations. Like the classic 996 style-a favorite for over 20 years -in exclusive all-tonal colors of soft suede. Suede/mesh upper. Rubber outsole.
