It’s been a big year for the New Balance lifestyle line. We’ve already gotten the new 247, 1978, and the updated version of the 574, and now the brand offers up a modern take on the 997. The classic and much-loved retro runner gets updated with a more minimal Deconstructed rebuild. The redesign features a comfortable neoprene inner bootie with premium suede overlays that simplify the original lines and build of the shoe. Below sits a new REVlite edition of the 997’s midsole. One final important detail of the 997 Deconstructed: every pair is made in the USA for the supreme quality you already know from New Balance.
The 997 Deconstructed debuts in the brand’s classic grey suede look, and is arriving now for $180 at select New Balance suppliers like Premier.
