New Balance introduces its new Bison collection that highlights the signature 997 sneaker silhouette. It comes in three colorway options this time, in the colors blue, white, and black. All of the sneakers sit atop a white midsole foundation, with the highlight being the textured finish throughout the uppers.
The uppers showcase a pebbled leather material that offers textural finishes in a timeless style. The understated design boasts a contrasting element against the aforementioned ENCAP midsole that travels down to the outsoles as well, in terms of the black and navy blue iteration. There is also a hint of white accents around the ankles for the darker colorways. The Bison collection is now available for purchase online and in-store locations.
