New Balance® 997H sneakers
and they're now famous for kicks that combine fashion and function—just ask any true sneaker aficionado. After being released in the early '90s to great success, New Balance's 997 went dark for a while, until they were recently reintroduced. These are the more streamlined version of the original cult classic—we think these were worth the wait. Please note that sizes listed are men's. Please subtract 1.5 from your normal size for the best fit. For example, a women's size 8.5 is a men's size 7.

Toe Box too Tight
February 11, 2024I e gotten these 997h several times in the past. Always a size 10 always fit great. Just got the indigo ones and the toe box is insanely tight. Length is fine but unwearable. Final sale too unfortunately.

Avoid these
February 4, 2024Toe box fell apart after 10 wears. Tried to resolve via customer but to no avail. I would avoid this model

Color is not what is pictured
July 19, 2023I purchased the graphite/arctic grey. There are no dual blue tones as pictured. It is entirely bluish/gray with cream trim. They look far better online than in person. Disappointed in the bland color. I love 997s and most of the JCrew X NB collabos are good, but this color is not as expected.

My husband loves these
June 6, 2023I originally bought these for my husband in blue. He said they are probably the most comfortable tennis shoes he owns. He loves them so much I bought them in green.
