Another drop of New Balance is upon us for summer, and to be honest, we’ve been a little bit lazy in writing about them, and the distraction of those 1500 reissues didn’t help, but we felt like these Made in USA New Balance 997CSP needed some special attention.

Now don’t get us wrong, but we’re smitten with the 997, and could wear that silhouette every day for the rest of our lives, but we’ve been a little bit bored of some of the colourways recently, until this one!

These Made in USA New Balance 997 CSP is part of the Connoisseur Collection of possibly an “Age of Exploration” Pack, we’re not really sure, but it’s something like that…. we think.

They come dressed in a lovely blue suede which is reminiscent of the 670BB “Blueberry” and boy is that colour good! We hope these pictures do the colour justice, but if you get the chance, definitely check these out in person.

We’re not super keen on the coloured piece in the sole unit, but we just need to take one look at that upper and that is forgotten about!

If these take your fancy and you can swallow the accompanying price tag, then grab them from HANON here.
