NWT, never worn The 997H silhouette is an instant classic for a new era. Inspired by Steven Smith’s original design, this streamlined take on the 997 brings 90s style to modern comfort. The shift from standard EVA to ENCAP and C-CAP technology is mirrored in the 997H’s use of Ground Contact EVA, a foam that is injected into the shoe, rather than layered, for improved durability and responsiveness. Here, the modernized 997 shows off its ability to run with the classics, as the high grade, synthetic leather, suede, and mesh upper is rendered in a multi-colored brown colorway.
