Available Now // The New Balance 997 Gets Pimped-Out in Purple
It’s not all about the 1500 and 997 Sport this year for New Balance, but although those two silhouettes have taken the majority of the market’s attention, the Boston-based brand has been putting out some low-key bangers of their other silhouettes. This Purple and Black 997 is a prime example, flown right under the radar — so far that even we almost missed it. But never fear, we’ve found it, and it’s still available at a handful of retailers.
The Made-in-America pair channels not only calls upon some luxurious materials but also some a palate that’s representative of the most regal tones. It pairs royal purple suede with a black pigskin vamp, and a navy blue collar and tongue, with majestic marron sitting front and center on the midfoot N motif, as well as the heel clip. Midsoles arrive draped in purple and white, with a mid-grey rubber outsole completing the design.
