Released in March 2019, the New Balance 997 sneaker effortlessly combines contemporary functionality with its distinct visual language to make a bold statement. Its monochromatic upper crafted from robust layers of 'Mint Julep' suede and leather pays homage to the timeless southern cocktail. The traditional lacing system harmoniously blends with the iconic brand insignias, both expertly dyed to match the elegant hue. Featuring an ENCAP-equipped midsole and a rubber outsole, this iteration ensures the continuation of the captivating cool shade from top to bottom.
