Perhaps the biggest news coming this weekend isn’t a particular sneaker release, but instead it’s the imminent arrival of Boston-based boutique Concepts in New York City.
Men's/Women's New Balance 997 The shop has been operating since 1996 and churning out some of the most enticing collaborative efforts this side of running silhouettes. So what better way for them to kick off their Big Apple debut than with a pristine New Balance 997. So far, details remain slim beside a few teasers that showcase the model in a soft, faded red with a perforated toebox and a synthetic snakeskin textile on the collar and tongue in a contrasting grey. There’s no release date yet, but there’s a chance this pair will coincide with the shop’s opening this Saturday.
Dubbed “Greek Gods,” the two-pack brings the vindictiveness of Perseus and stone-coldness of Medusa to sneaker form. Like the demigod, who returned from the death mission he was sent on by King Polydectes, the
New Balance 997 Shoes has prevailed over its competition since debuting in 1991. “Black” and “Cool Grey” suede uppers keep things neutral and are accompanied by iridescent accents. As a nod to the polished shield used to kill the sleeping Gorgon, a reflective, 3M trim runs across the midfoot and collar. Profile “N” logos stand-in for Medusa’s severed head given their snakeskin construction.
As the added letter in its name suggests, the 997S delivers a sportier look.
New Balance 997 Best Price Two-tone grey bases set the stage for the teal and yellow hues throughout that entice onlookers with a single gaze. The latter steals the show as it overtakes the laces, side logo trimming, tongue and heel branding. Tongues and collar areas sport a deceivingly dull purple that morphs into unexpected blue, green and more depending on the light and angle. Just as with her slayer’s pair, the “Medusa” 997s is cushioned by a white ENCAP Reveal midsole boasting grey tread.
The
New Balance 997 Buy Online returns in a new Made In USA tooling with this casual albeit premium “Dusty Olive” look. New Balance‘s latest “Made In USA” pack pays homage to the 1950s with a number of rustic brown and amber shades throughout. This pair would be right at home if included, as dark “Dusty Olive” green detailing arrives in the form of suede throughout while tan leather is in play on the branding and heel. The icy outsole is a nice contrast to the darker shades throughout.
It’s already Made in the USA at the utmost quality you’ll find on a retro running shoe, but this latest edition of the
New Balance 997 on Sale takes the patriotism a bit further with a decidedly American color scheme. OK, so it’s not quite a true red, white and blue sneaker since the upper features a light grey hue across the premium suede and mesh, but these 997s still definitely radiate some USA vibes. White is however found on the midsole, and it’s all completed with reflective silver detailing and striped laces.
