A pair of New Balance‘s classic, domestically-crafted silhouettes have been remastered for the summer. The 997 and 998 sport new, subtly patterned colorways along with tonal pig suede and mesh. The 997 sports a grey and green makeup, with a mostly-white midsole and camouflage detailing on the tongue, adding a hint of rugged flair. On the aquatic 998, shades of blue cover the upper, with fishscale detailing engraved on select panels and the “N” branding. Muted grey on the tongue and heel balance the primarily-navy model.

Shop the elevated colorways over on Premier’s web store.

Most recently, the Boston-based sneaker company teased its 247v2 in grey.
