The New Balance 997 has been a collector`s favorite, a sneaker that has been flying under the radar, overshadowed by the 990 and 991, but has always been a love affair for sneakerheads, not only because of its high-profile collaborations, no, also because it is one of the most comfortable trainers on the market. Introduced in 1990, designed by Steven Smith, the New Balance 997 was part of the original 99X series, a lineup of legendary running trainer-inspired sneakers that would change the course of sneaker culture. On top of the original mens and womens grey colorways, SNS offers updated versions such as the SPORT or Deconstructed.
