Introducing the new and improved New Balance 997 'Magnet'. This sleek and stylish sneaker has been reinvented for its contemporary debut, and is sure to turn heads. The OG New Balance 997 first released in 1990, and was an instant classic. The new and improved version features a black, Magnet and Energy Red upper with a signature 'N' hitting the sidewall. Fit for everyday wear, the sneaker features a textured tongue design and an easy-to-find heel tab to make entry and exit a cinch. The Encap sole below is comprised of a stacked heel for a cushioned ride while a rubber outsole maintains traction below.
