The New Balance 997 debuted in 1990, and its sculpted midsole marked a genuine revolution in the brand’s running catalog, immediately earning cult status. Its Made in USA version reflects New Balance’s commitment to maintaining domestic production in the United States, with 70% or more domestic value content, and since the Fall/Winter 2024 Made in USA Seasonal collection, the 997 has become a regular part of this premium line. The Dried Apricot Calcium colorway revives that legacy with a warm, seasonal palette combining apricot tones with white and calcium.
The 997 silhouette is recognizable for its low profile and sculpted midsole, which once marked an aesthetic turning point in 1990s running and remains one of the most sought-after designs in the New Balance archive today. In the Dried Apricot Calcium edition, apricot suede overlays are combined with breathable white mesh and calcium-colored accents, resulting in a soft, warm sneaker that is ideal for transitional seasons.
At Next Step, you’ll find this Made in USA 997 100% new and authentic, with 14 calendar days for returns and fast shipping to Spain and Europe, so you can enjoy one of the most iconic models in the New Balance archive with complete peace of mind.
Its warm apricot and calcium palette pairs wonderfully with beige, cream, and brown garments, as well as light-wash jeans for a casual American look. Add a technical or corduroy jacket for a comfortable, versatile transitional-season outfit with plenty of retro character.
