Dominate the Court with the New Balance Men's 696 V6 Hard Court Tennis Shoe

Step up your tennis game with the New Balance Men's 696 V6 Hard Court Tennis Shoe in White/Green, size 12. Engineered for players who demand durability, comfort, and superior performance on hard tennis courts, this shoe delivers everything you need to play your best match after match. Combining advanced technology with thoughtful design, the 696 V6 represents the evolution of New Balance's commitment to athletic excellence on the tennis court.

Durable Construction With Advanced Technology

At the core of the 696 V6's performance is the NDurance rubber outsole technology, strategically placed in high-wear areas to provide exceptional durability. This means your shoes can withstand the rigorous demands of aggressive lateral movements, quick stops, and rapid direction changes that are essential in competitive tennis. You'll get more life out of your shoes, thanks to this innovative wear-resistant feature. The specialized rubber compound also maintains traction as it wears, ensuring consistent performance throughout the shoe's lifespan.

Superior Court Performance

The non-marking outsole not only protects tennis court surfaces but also provides excellent traction, allowing you to move confidently across the court. The included film drag guard adds an extra layer of protection against toe drag, a common issue for players who frequently serve and volley. This combination of features allows you to focus on your technique and strategy without worrying about slipping or premature shoe wear during crucial moments of your matches.

Comfortable and Breathable Design

The synthetic and mesh upper construction offers the perfect balance of support and breathability. The mesh allows air to circulate, keeping your feet cool and comfortable during intense matches, while the synthetic overlays provide essential support and structure for stability during lateral movements. This intelligent design helps prevent foot fatigue and discomfort during long matches and practice sessions, allowing you to maintain peak performance from the first serve to the final point.

Customized Fit for Optimal Performance

With the adjustable lace closure system, you can personalize the fit to your exact preferences. This feature ensures that your feet stay securely in the shoe during aggressive play, reducing the risk of blisters and fatigue that can result from shoes that don't fit properly. The lacing system allows you to adjust tension in specific areas, accommodating different foot shapes and providing targeted support where you need it most.

Stylish Design

Beyond performance features, the 696 V6 boasts a sleek White/Green color scheme that looks professional on the court. The classic white base with green accents delivers sporty style that complements tennis apparel and stands out for all the right reasons. Whether you're playing in a local tournament or a casual match with friends, you'll appreciate the modern aesthetic that performs as well as it looks.

Perfect for Hard Court Play

Specifically designed for hard court surfaces, this shoe features the ideal combination of cushioning and support needed for the unforgiving nature of hard tennis courts. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive player, the 696 V6 will help you maintain your form through long matches and practice sessions. The shoe's construction absorbs the impact of hard court surfaces while providing the energy return needed for explosive movements.

Who Should Choose the 696 V6?

The New Balance Men's 696 V6 is ideal for tennis players who prioritize durability without sacrificing comfort or performance. Intermediate to advanced players will appreciate the targeted features that support aggressive play styles, while recreational players will enjoy the comfort and stability during occasional matches. If you're a hard court specialist or play primarily on school, park, and club courts with hard surfaces, this shoe is specifically engineered to maximize your performance in these environments.

Size 12 Comfort

This particular model comes in size 12, providing a comfortable fit for men with larger feet. New Balance is known for true-to-size sizing, but we recommend ordering your regular tennis shoe size for the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a roomier toe box, especially if you like to wear thicker tennis socks. The shoe's design accommodates wider feet comfortably, ensuring that players with larger feet don't have to compromise on comfort or performance.

Experience the New Balance Difference

With over a century of footwear expertise, New Balance has crafted the 696 V6 with precision and attention to detail. Every feature serves a purpose, from the durable outsole to the breathable upper and secure lacing system. When you step onto the court in these shoes, you'll feel the difference that quality craftsmanship makes in your performance and comfort. New Balance's commitment to innovation means you're getting a shoe that incorporates the latest advancements in comfort technology and performance engineering.
