The New Balance 247 Gore-Tex 'Black' sneaker updates the fashion favorite silhouette with a water- and wind-resistant design. Known for its initial exclusivity, the brand’s original 247 silhouette debuted as a ‘Friends and Family’ edition in December 2017, with only 247 pairs released for the VIPs of the fashion world. This Gore-Tex version features a leather and textile upper, with a textile lining, padded insole, ‘Gore-Tex’ tape and an applique ‘N’ logo on the lateral side.
