Usual for the New Balance 997 are the high-quality materials, which mostly consist of a combination of mesh and textured leather or suede leather. For sure the typical ENCAP midsole, which guarantees a maximum of comfort, should not be forgotten. Another remarkable details is the shape of the New Balance 997. The midsole has a slight angle which makes the sneakers ready to run like it should be.
