In continuation of their longstanding partnership, J. Crew and New Balance are uniting once more for two new takes of the classic 997 silhouette titled the “Wild Nature” collection. Drawing inspiration from two North American icons, both pairs feature a healthy combination of earthy tones laid upon their suede and mesh uppers as the first presents a mixture of drab olive and khaki characterized by the rattlesnake, and the second, a blend of black and muted browns to represent the grizzly bear. Furthermore, thematic graphics adorn the interiors of these 997s with the lighter-toned iteration featuring a camouflage desert beige and the darker pair displaying woodsy stripes nodding to the natural habitats of the aforementioned. Grab a detailed look at each style here below and note that they are now available exclusively at J. Crew for $220 USD.
