New Balance Break the Mould with MADE 997 for ‘Grey Day’
After nearly 30 years in the game, the New Balance 997 is adding a new 'Made in USA' chapter to its legendary legacy as part of the brand’s 'Grey Day' celebrations in 2019.
A stunning ode to designer magnus opus, this new MADE 997 offers sneakerheads a quirky dose of the time-tested style that propelled the iconic silhouette to legend status. The upper is cut from plush pigskin suede in trademark grey tones, while the 90s vibe is elevated further with that plump midsole infused with ENCAP and C-CAP cushioning. Despite the familiar feels, there’s a crucial alteration – the ever-present ‘N’ logo has made way for a distinctive ‘New Balance Made in USA’ embroidery riding high on the saddle.
