New Balance 997.5 Sneaker Freaker Tassie Tiger

This tough sneaker beast is carved from a unique shade of ‘terracotta’ suede, which has been boldly embellished with salt and pepper speckle, apricot pops, 3M charcoal stripes and the blackest suede in the animal kingdom. Triangular forefoot fangs add carnivorous bite, while padded tongues are an elegant enhancement to the new model. 

The 997.5 is a modern hybrid that blends the aggressive NB998 midsole and the refined upper of the NB997, fusing two of the most highly regarded models in the 990 series. The 997.5 also embraces the latest in NB performance innovation, switching out the traditional Abzorb midsole foam in favour of lightweight REVlite impact cushioning.
