As the Fall season begins to roll right around the corner, New Balances prepares with new tonal palettes of the 997H sneaker model. The brand launches two new colorways to detail the silhouette in time for the colder seasons of the year.
The shoe is ready for lifestyle purposes and casual wearing to elevate any outfit, made using lightweight materials throughout the shoe. It is bound to provide comfort and support through long days, made with suede and mesh at the upper and sitting on top of a lightweight cushioned midsole foundation. It features a color-blocked detailing throughout the upper for a retro design language. The first of the two blends is Spruce and Gold and the second colorway is Burgundy and Navy Blue.
