J.Crew and New Balance have been a match made in collaborative heaven for quite some time now. The menswear sensibilities of J.Crew have given us a number of premium revamps on some of New Balance’s most iconic running creations and now it’s the New Balance 997‘s turn to get a collaborative twist from the shop, this time taking inspiration from J.Crew designers’ favorite espresso drink, the Cortado. Available only at select J.Crew locations and online this coming Saturday, the J.Crew New Balance 997 Cortado features premium light tan suede throughout while a dark grey midsection skips out on the usual reflective 3M branding for a premium vachetta tan-colored ‘N’. Simple and refined light grey shades on the tongue and heel match a white midsole while a classic gum outsole adds a simple finish. Check out a detailed look at the coming J.Crew New Balance 997 Cortado below and grab your pair this Saturday, March 25th at J.Crew online and in-store. And check out the official site for the 997 Cortado.
