The New Balance 997H 'Varsity Gold' is a contemporary take on the timeless running shoe model from the renowned 99X series by the brand. This iteration features a striking mustard yellow color applied to a combination of mesh and suede for the upper, complemented by white leather accents on the heel tab and the iconic 'N' logo. To ensure stability for the rearfoot, the sneaker incorporates a royal blue TPU heel clip. The modified design includes a lightweight ENCAP Reveal midsole, enabling enhanced support, and a grippy gum rubber outsole with a decoupled construction. This updated tooling provides an optimal combination of comfort and traction.
