This season, New Balance deliver their latest creation with the 997H silhouette, an updated iteration of their classic 997 model released in 1990. Up top, a blend of suede, synthetic leather and mesh provide a lightweight and breathable ride, while below the pair house the brand's all-new Ground Contact EVA (GCEVA) midsole technology. This cushioning update means that foam is injected into the sole of the shoe rather than layered, offering heightened levels of shock-absorption and making for more comfortable wear. Signing things off, the brand's iconic 'N' logo branding decorates the sidewalls, while a woven brand patch sits on the tongue CM997HCE
