New Balance has tinkered with two of their most iconic retro runners in the New Balance 997 and New Balance 998, combining the creations to find a middle ground with the New Balance 997.5. While the Nw Balance 997 sees the bulk of the inspiration here based on how the upper utilizes the numerous suede and mesh panels to intricate detail in a signature tonal grey shade, the hybrid silhouette of sorts benefits from the updated New Balance 998 outsole for added comfort. The ABZORB cushion system hidden underneath brings performance enhanced stability while the upper exudes a lifestyle aesthetic that’s accessible to anyone. All materials are made right here in the USA from the pigskin suede throughout to the mesh inserts. Available today via Wish ATL.
