Brand: New Balance
Model: 997H “Cordura”
Key Features: The 997H is a modern reinterpretation of New Balance’s classic 997, a silhouette designed by legendary designer Steven Smith. It swaps out the original’s C-CAP and ENCAP midsole for a lighter GCEVA foam that has been injected directly into the midsole instead of being layered like in most other shoes. This specific pack also updates the materials used on the sneaker’s upper, opting for a rugged Cordura fabric lining. The shoe is available in three colorways.

Editor’s Notes: New Balance continues to experiment with its offering of revamped classics, this time outfitting the 997H with Cordura lining. The fabric is known for its durability and resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs, making this the perfect pack to beat to death. The Cordura-equipped New Balance 997H comes in three colorways, two of which feature bold hits of color, with a third that is more muted.
