The New Balance 997 Wide sneaker is a contemporary take on the classic '91 runner, revitalized for modern times. Recently refreshed in February 2019, this particular version, known as the 'White Laser Blue' variant, incorporates a combination of mesh, leather, and suede in its upper construction, allowing for optimal support and breathability in various areas. The design features a color block design and reflective branding, providing a timeless aesthetic. In addition, the shoe boasts ENCAP midsole cushioning and a rubber NDurance outsole, paying homage to New Balance's rich athletic legacy.
