Launched in March 2019, the New Balance 997 Leather 'Bison Capsule - Black' sneaker is a contemporary take on a retro design. This classic carries a rugged look with a grained leather upper mixed with matte accents. Stacked, debossed branding appears on the lateral and tongue. Starkly contrasted, the traditional ENCAP midsole is treated to an updated logo on its sidewall. Ridged rubber tread is set below.
