Todd Snyder has just dropped its newest collab in the form of a “Chalk Stripe” New Balance 997. The team-up sees that classic 997 silhouettes covered in a premium gray suede material with snake-embossed white patent leather.
As Todd Snyder puts it, the Chalk Stripe 997 was “inspired by the ’70s when being a tennis star meant having equally adept footwork at the baseline by day and at the disco by night…” While the sneaker appears like a sports shoe from afar, details like the snake print and gold letter print and heel cup elevate this into the lifestyle segment — a clean sneaker for everyday wear. Keeping your feet comfortable throughout the day is New Balance‘s ENCAP EVA midsole cushioning.
Those interested can find the Todd Snyder x New Balance “Chalk Stripe” 997 over at Todd Snyder for $230 USD.
