FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the 997S series offers great comfort, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

New Balance 997S models generally fit true to size, but we recommend referencing the specific UK size guide provided.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the faux leather and the structural integrity of the shoe; always clean by hand.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable faux leather designed for lasting wear.

Is the cream colorway easy to maintain?

It requires proactive care, such as using a protective spray before the first wear to repel dirt and liquids.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the faux leather upper

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its original shape.

Surface stains on the cream material

Gently blot with a damp cloth and specialized sneaker cleaner; avoid soaking the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive collaboration aesthetic
  • Modernized 997S comfort technology
  • Durable faux leather construction
  • Versatile and neutral cream color scheme

Cons

  • Light cream material is susceptible to dirt
  • Limited availability due to collaborative nature
  • Requires regular cleaning to preserve appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, wear the socks you intend to pair with the shoes while trying them on to gauge the volume. For compatibility, the neutral cream tone pairs exceptionally well with denim, chinos, or technical joggers. Care is paramount for this model; due to the cream-colored material, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris after use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, ph-neutral sneaker cleaner on a microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolor the faux leather.
