The newly reworked 997R makes its return to New Balance’s lifestyle collection after originally being released in 1991. Slight alterations have been made but the sneaker still retains its original silhouette and arrives with a slightly aged midsole that provides cushioning while adding to its overall aesthetic. The durable pigskin and mesh upper remain intact with New Balance’s N logo tucked away for a refined look. New Balance – U 997R CB Varsity Gold | Highsnobiety Shop
