The New Balance 997 Sport 'Taxi' lives up to its moniker with contrasting black and yellow hues on an upper built with a combination of mesh, suede and synthetic materials. Checkerboard detailing on the heel loop gives the nod to classic yellow cabs, with the same pattern repeating on the lateral forefoot of the ENCAP Reveal midsole. The lifestyle runner is supported by a black rubber outsole, good for durable traction underfoot.
