Teddy Santis x New Balance 997 Made in USA "Vintage Teal Jade" U997TB

The Teddy Santis x New Balance 997 “Vintage Teal Jade” brings new energy to a model cherished by fans since its debut in 1990. Immediately well-received, the 997 became a mainstay in New Balance’s lineup, and its eventual discontinuation only heightened its status. For Autumn/Winter ’24, this iconic trainer returns as part of the Made in USA Seasonal Collection, reintroducing the 997’s distinctive silhouette to celebrate its legacy.

This rendition combines classic and modern elements, preserving the recognisable wedge-shaped profile and the high-set heel pad that define the 997’s unique look. Crafted from a quality mix of canvas, mesh, and suede, the shoe balances durability with comfort, designed to handle both daily wear and longer stints. Its “Vintage Teal Jade” colourway adds a vibrant yet refined twist, pairing rich teal tones with contrasting burgundy, a nod to both past and present.

As part of New Balance’s Made in USA line, this model features over 70% domestically sourced materials, reflecting the brand’s ongoing commitment to quality and local craftsmanship. The limited release of this special edition elevates its appeal, attracting long-time admirers and new collectors alike. With Teddy Santis at the helm, the “Vintage Teal Jade” reaffirms the 997’s place in New Balance’s history, celebrating both its original charm and its modern relevance.
