New Balance has introduced two new versions of the retro 'AS Roma 997H' in eye-catching autumn-inspired colorways: 'Spruce/Gold' and 'Burgundy/Navy.'
Belonging to its lifestyle range, the '997H' is one of New Balance's most classic silhouettes. Here, the lightweight sneaker has been given a seasonal update, making it the perfect piece to complete one's fall time wardrobe. Just like the original model, the shoes' uppers are made from a mix of suede and mesh, which rests atop an extra-comfy, cushioned midsole. Multi-blocked coloring also remains, giving the sneakers a 90s-era aesthetic appeal.
The 'Spruce/Gold' colorway presents a deep green on the midsole, a subdued yellow on the toes and tongue, and a gold 'N' logo. Meanwhile, the 'Burgundy/Navy' consists of a burgundy red midsole, aqua blue toes and heels, and a yellow 'N' logo.
