Inspired by the scenic leisure and activity area along Boston’s Charles River.





Continuing their collaborative relationship, sneaker purveyor Concepts once again teamed up with New Balance on a limited M997.5 model. Dubbed the “Esplanade,” the shoe is inspired by the scenic leisure and activity area along Boston’s scenic Charles River. The upper of the shoe is constructed of a synthetic gray leather, accented by a teal mesh toe box, premium suede tongue and subtle reflective materials. While three sets of matching laces and a co-branded special edition box round up the collaborative release. Retailing at $225 USD, the Concepts x New Balance M997.5 “Esplanade” will be available September 8 10 a.m. EST at Concepts Cambridge and at Concepts NYC and online at 11 a.m. EST.
