The New Balance 997 "Moonrock" Will Close Out the 2024 Made In USA Series

The New Balance 997 Made in USA is back under the Teddy Santis-led program, continuing its revitalization with a refined, premium aesthetic. This latest iteration nods to the neutral, earthy tones often seen in Aimé Leon Dore collections, featuring a mix of soft beige and tan shades that give the silhouette a sophisticated and versatile feel.

The "Moonrock" shade dominates the upper, with the supple leather and suede providing a luxurious feel. Complementary cream and tan hues appear on the mesh toes, plastic midfoot supports, and hairy suede on the collar and tongue, creating a textured and layered look. Below, a classic split-blocked white and grey midsole adds a touch of New Balance’s signature heritage style. At the same time, the black rubber tread ties everything together, ensuring the iconic model is ready for both style and comfort.

These pairs are already available at select retailers globally, and a New Balance US release is penciled in for December 19.
