New Balance's Off-White & Grey 997 Is Too Clean
An early contender for best NB release of 2017.

2017 may have just gotten underway, but New Balance has already dropped what may end up being one of its best releases of the entire year: an off-white and grey rendition of the 997. Hot on the heels of last fall’s slick “Red Clay” collab with Horween, the brand new M997JOL comes in NB’s tried-and-true light grey suede and, in this case, couples it with off-white pebbled leather, matching laces and a grey toe box. The hues even extend down to the ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole, ensuring that these will be some of the cleanest New Balances to hit shelves this year.
American-made and capped off with contrasting black branding, the M997JOL is available now from NB stockists like Concepts for $180 USD while supplies last.
