Its upper blends smooth leather, textured suede, and breathable mesh for a structure that’s lightweight yet supportive. The streamlined lines nod to late-’80s/early-’90s running design while delivering a clean, contemporary edge.
Powered by an ENCAP midsole, the 997 provides dependable cushioning and impact control for day-long wear. A molded heel clip and padded collar stabilize the rearfoot, while the durable rubber outsole ensures traction and control across varied surfaces. A precise fusion of innovation and heritage, it captures NB timeless performance legacy.
