New Balance 997 “Ski Collection” Prices Reach High Altitudes

New Balance continues their new “Retro Ski” collection of colorways inspired by vintage skiing equipment and apparel with this top-par edition of the 997. But as it so often goes in the sneaker world now, if you want top quality craftsmanship and materials, you’re going to have to pay for it. With a price breaking the $250 summit, you’re definitely paying a little extra for this 997 featuring a blend of premium pigskin suede and Horween leather. Skiing has always been considered a rich man’s sport, so maybe the high price of these 997’s is appropriate. If $260 isn’t too rich for your blood, find these now at select New Balance retailers like Sneaker Politics.
