The FIGS x New Balance collection debuts with two styles for women and one for men. The collection marks the first footwear collaboration for FIGS as well as New Balance’s first venture into medical apparel design for professionals, residents, and students.
Available for both men and women in black and grey – and additionally in navy blue for women – , the FIGS x New Balance 996 is uniquely styled with a signature yellow dash as well as C-Cap technology.
