New Balance delivered a clean, straightforward take on its 997H silhouette with a white and navy colorway in February 2026. The 997H occupies a sweet spot in the New Balance lineup, sitting between the brand’s premium heritage models and its more accessible lifestyle runners, and this colorway exemplified that balance.
White mesh and suede construction with navy accent details gave the shoe a nautical crispness that worked across seasons. The 997H’s ABZORB cushioning and SL-2 foam formulation kept the shoe performing as well as it looked.
The New Balance 997H White/Navy retailed at $100 and released February 14, 2026 through New Balance and major footwear retailers, making it one of the more accessible releases of the month.
