Hot on the heels of one of the most sought after drops from their company, New Balance kicked 2017 wide open with their release of their latest flagship model the 247. Creating with the jet-setting consumer in mind, transitioning from night, to day, back to night seamlessly, the first incarnation of the model, in the Luxe collection, embodied the focus of the 247, which is premium sophistication. While the Luxe series cause quite a stir, New Balance is preparing to unveil the latest form of their new model, tailored to the athleticism found in tasks of everyday life. Behold the 247 Sport.
Like the former, the Sport versions of the 247 fuse together many of NB's iconic models all paying homage to the past while setting a new path for the future. From the pattern at the shoe's front, inspired by the "Made in the USA" NB 1300, the collar strap taking its cues from the NB 576 "Made in the UK" model & traits from the iconic NB 998 on the midsole, this shoe was made to be transitional, providing performance with a look that still gives a nod to the style of today's sneaker culture.
Fitted with Ariaprene construction, a revamped NB midfoot strap for a snug fit when running, and even switching out the nylon label for a rubberized, wear-tested tongue logo, complete with the RevLite technology for all-day comfort, New Balance is continuing to be a standout in the shoe market, proving why it's been around for decades.
And, while I may beg to differ with them when it comes to their stance on other social issues, I will never deny the fact that NB is simply one of the greatest staples in footwear, ever.
And neither should you. Look for these to drop next month with dates for a stateside and European release. Pricing info will be updates as its revealed. For now, bask in the glory of the beauty shots:
