Teddy Santis continues to make his mark on New Balance’s MADE in USA collection, closing out the Fall/Winter 2024 season with another sophisticated addition: the fan-favorite New Balance 997 in the sleek and understated “Moonrock” colorway.

The shoe features a meticulously crafted upper, combining premium materials such as pigskin nubuck, suede, and mesh for added textural depth. Its design employs a rich palette of tan, cornsilk yellow and “Driftwood” brown, seamlessly blending slightly varied shades to create a warm and neutral tonal transition. Crisp white laces introduce a striking contrast, enhancing the warmth of the upper.

Standout details include exposed foam on the tongue, a tan pigskin suede “N” logo, and embroidered branding on the heel.
