New Balance 997R "Phantom" U997RMC

The New Balance 997R takes cues from its iconic predecessor, celebrated for its utilization of New Balance’s innovative ENCAP and C-CAP cushioning technologies in the midsole. This fusion of style and performance garnered the original 997 widespread recognition, and the legacy continues with the refined 997R.

The New Balance 997R maintains the essence of the OG model while incorporating modern design elements. The construction showcases a meticulous mix of mesh, pebbled leather, and pigskin suede, offering a diverse and textured aesthetic that appeals to both nostalgia and current fashion trends.

A notable departure from the original comes in the form of the tuck-away “N” logos on the sides, adding a contemporary twist to the iconic branding. This subtle yet distinctive modification reflects the evolution of the 997R, highlighting the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries while staying true to its heritage.
