Reinvented for its contemporary debut in February 2019, the OG New Balance 997 first released in 1990. The lifestyle silhouette fuses mesh and leather on a black, Magnet and Energy Red upper with a signature 'N' hitting the sidewall. Fit for everyday wear, the sneaker features a textured tongue design and an easy-to-find heel tab to make entry and exit a cinch. The Encap sole below is comprised of a stacked heel for a cushioned ride while a rubber outsole maintains traction below.
