The New Balance 247, set to release in May 2018, is an innovative sneaker that pays homage to the iconic M1300JP, 998, and 576 models. Aptly named the 'Tournament' edition, this shoe draws inspiration from the legendary Russian creature Orthrus. Crafted with a breathable mesh bootie, it features a sturdy leather counter and lace support for added structure. The sneaker's eye-catching pull tab represents the creature's fierce nature. Additionally, the responsive REVlite midsole is complemented by a gum rubber outsole that takes cues from traditional heritage designs.
