Malbon Golf works together with New Balance once again at the two release another tonal update of the 997 Golf sneaker model. The shoe is designed with neutral shades of cream and grey along the upper and then accented with black piping and details.
It is paired with white laces and lining to add a brighter touch and it all sits on top of a gum tonal sole unit to create a skate-themed look overall. Branding can be seen in the form of Malbon logos along the tongue, insole, and heel sections. The FastTwist 3.0 Pulsar spikes accent the sole for traction purposes and the midsole incorporates REVlite foam which creates a lighter weight to the silhouette.
