New Balance highlights one of its most iconic sneaker silhouettes, the 997 by incorporating an interchangeable N accent as the branding detail on the sides. The structure is the same low-cut design made up of a blend of suede and mesh paneling construction. It is done up in a light gray colorway, which allows the interchanging branding accent to stand out in contrast to the muted base as a pop of color.
There are also additional branding details found at the insoles, the heel, and the tongue tab. To round out the entire silhouette, the sneakers incorporate the signature ENCAP midsole technology to provide support and sturdiness with an EVA foam midsole for cushioned elements. The new pack is now available for purchase at retail locations such as Premier.
