With Wimbledon right around the corner, we’re starting to see an influx in retro tennis models, and in past years New Balance was always an exception to the rule, always focussing on their running line while ditching any chance at a retro. This year will be different though as the brand plans to reintroduce their classic tennis silhouette in the new balance 997 lake blue just in time for the tournament by working with shops like Firmament, Hanon, and 24 Kilates to give the mesh and suede upper some exclusive looks. Using tonal greys, greens and predominantly white bases, the sneaker does see its fair share of vibrant looks thanks to some interesting color blocking like a purple, royal and orange model. Stick around after the click to see a preview video of the upcoming launch and stay tuned for more info on this New Balance release in the near future.
