Default American Made 993

Probably the only 993 that can fit better than settling into a sport seat (hard or soft back).

I'm looking to replace my 574s so this seems like the logical choice, obviously. The 574s are the most comfortable sneaker I've ever owned.

Yeah, I love my NB993s almost as much as my NB 993. I can't help but think maybe someone at New Balance must be a Porsche guy with a weird sense of humor because the New Balance world is a strange one:

Behold the orthopedic shoe vibe of




The 968





The homely 959 (!!)





The ungainly 928





The unexpectedly handsome 996

The fact that the 996 is unexpectedly handsome contradicts your Porsche theory.

Maybe the guy is trying to make up for the 996's ugly face with a handsome 996 shoe?

I think it confirms my "weird sense of humor" theory...

That number is cursed.. I'll switch from my traditional 860's if the new 993 comes in an S model (I need the 4E toe box for long runs)

I doubt these will fit in the footwell of a six speed 993 without mods but I guess mods are what we're all about ✌

Driving shoes... those shown here miss the all-important rounded heel.
