The New Balance 247 Knit is a sleek, forward-thinking extension of the groundbreaking running silhouette. Shrouding the foot in a ribbed textile bootie, this 'Black' option eschews conventional laces in favor of an 'N'-shaped elastic band that offers lightweight lockdown. A branded suede heel provides additional security. Shock-absorbent REVlite midsole cushioning and the durable, hexagonal outsole design are reinstalled underfoot.
