A legend amongst New Balance's Made in USA collection, the 997 was designed by Steven Smith back in 1990. The upper is constructed from mesh and generously panelled in suede, while 'N' logos hallmark the sidewalls and ENCAP cushioning takes care of comfort from within the wedged midsole. Returning as part of the Made in USA collection, the New Balance 997 arrives in a classic outfit built from shades of grey. A mixed material upper pairs a mesh base with suede, leather, and synthetic components. The wedged ENCAP midsole combines lightweight foam with a durable polyurethane rim for extra comfort. This model features a suede and mesh upper in a grey colorway.
