Picked up a pair of these back in 2019 when I visited Tokyo - only had a pair of Vans with me and I was not ready for the amount of walking I had to do in those lol. The 997h lasted me my entire trip and about a year and a half afterwards - they became my dailys and I trashed the hell out of them. Phenomenal shoe for the price point, nothing bad to say!
Debating it for this exact reason - a long euro trip with lots of walking. Sounds like you'd recommend it then? Any advice even two years later? They're still a bit pricey at $75 ish on a sale right now.
I agree, I wanted to buy the 574 but it was for my taste to compressed and to boring, the 997 is great sporty looking and don’t lose the classic look of a new balance
New balance can do no wrong. They are consistent with quality and overall aesthetic. It is cliché to always refer to them as a dad shoe brand when realistically, everyone loves them. I receive more compliments from my fiancé while wearings NB’s
I bought these as well, even the same colorway, and I love them. Kinda hard being a teacher and a sneakerhead some days. This is my second pair of 997h and I love them. Light and comfortable all day.
I own both 997H and 997S (unfortunately, the 997 Made in US is too expensive here, the equivalent of 250-300 USD when converted). The 997S has a bit of a looser fit compared to 997H (I wear 10.5 in the S, 11 in the H). The Abzorb midsole of the S is also softer and more comfortable than the H.
I found a pair of 997H I found on clearance at REI of all places. They were only $25!!! The quality is really good for the price. The colorway in the video is super clean. How do the NB sweats compare to Nike tech fleece?
Yes! You got that shoe please do a review of it!!!! This shoe gives me college professor vibes. Nice cardigan with some khaki pants and glasses 🔥 might pick these up since adidas lost my retropy p9 that I ordered a month ago and now I’m a new balance fan because of the 992 review you did and I picked up a pair, the materials are sooo good it’s stupid. The color way is one of the best in my option
the 997s and h are both pretty comfortable. how i would describe both are all day comfort for office and work as long as your not walking more than a couple of miles
Great review, keep up the good work, I picked up the black/green for $79- in #DSW 2-Months ago, the only problem i have the sole is not that comfortable, I replaced it with dr. Scholl's extra soft gels, I have no problem now & also I had to go to sizes up, its narrow in the front.
Let’s be honest, these lower-end 997s aren’t all that comfortable. Got a couple pairs that rarely make the rotation because there are just too many others that are much more comfortable. Diggin’ this more muted color palette tho
The 997H isn't comfortable, but the 997S is wicked comfortable. Maybe not AS much as the 998 or something but still all-day wearable. The 997H isn't uncomfy, just doesn't have as comfy midsole without Absorb + Encap in the S
The 997 is a one of the best silhouettes from New Balance. Honestly New Balance is doing a fantastic job in their design and development. Don't have any in my collection. But if the right colourway comes along then I will definitely purchase.
I've got 2 so far and the comfortability is ridicolous🙌 gonna pick up a few more but taking it slow. New balance might be my favorite brand shoe wise. I get the whole Jordan shit and yeezys but that ain't my wave.

When it comes to lifestyle,running and comfy shoes. Hes is one of the best reviewer.
997H is absolutely my favourite NB silhouette. Just a clean balanced show.

Dang it Hes……that’s 2 straight vids that caused me to buy shoes. I had to have that colorway, that’s awesome. Great vid as always
Its a solid colorway right?! Price is good too tbh much better than a GR nike dunk. ( altho i love both)
Dope. Must cop. Thnx!

Totally agree, the S made me return all my 997H pairs and I won't even consider the H compared to the S due to comfort alone
I love your videos man ! Ty for the knowledge

How do the NB sweats compare to Nike tech fleece?
Those are pretty dope. Especially for the price. Nice vid
I love all your sneaker nice goodluck and more power to your channel
My pair coming this weekend! Can't beat that price!
How would these hold up for a euro trip with lots of walking? Comfortable?
Got the blue red and gold colorway and with the detail i got really attached to them, give me that 80s zeta gundam feel
Bruh, thank you for showing me how to tie that way. Wtf have I been doing my entire life
New Balance X J.Crew 997H's are pretty nice as well, midsole has a little speckles on it, pretty comfy shoe!
Back in the day New Zealand Post used to provide their employees ( Mail man ) with New Balance. Totally dependable shoes. Nice review 🙏🏻 Thanks
Got my 997H (white and pink) pair for only 30 bucks. Not the most comfortable shoe but damn do they look good.
Awesome kicks sporting without laces
The 997R is out. Would love to see your review on those!
Great review. I’m getting them in Tan.
These are fire. I'm mad I missed out. I can't find them online amywhere
Cant find that price
Any clue on how to clean them?
Fantastic buy for the price. It can also be combined with NB points to make them even cheaper!
New Balance is killing this year
997h and the 997s are totally different shoes and are pretty nice, but not Fresh Foam good like the 574s's
Its not on sale here in Canada. 😔
997 sports are my fav and are super comfortable
Just love 997h!
Got ‘em and can tell you guys 997h doesn’t stand close even to 574. 997H is pretty rough but it works for such a price.
In the uk we have the 997h cordura with special fabric. Lovely shoe

Hes what size is your NB hoody?
I wana estimate my size....
the 997s and h are both pretty comfortable. how i would describe both are all day comfort for office and work as long as your not walking more than a couple of miles
I thought these sneakers were comfortable? Why wouldn’t it be good to walk in
🙌🙌 new intro, when
Nice❤️🔥
Great shoe
Owned one.. The grey cw really 🔥🔥
Yeah I guess that promo code had a quick expiration
New balance look the best on your feet 🔥💰🏆
I really love the upper, but that midsole kinda throws me off
We had major sale in nz. Copped one for 30usd lol
Dip dye video of the 57/40!
anyone have any issues with these causing blisters on their pinky toes? just got a pair and damn they're uncomfortable to wear.
Ever since the review of the 54/70 I want them so bad and I bought the nike slides you reviewed too 🤦♂️
Why do the cw suck for most of the 997s lol. I swear I’m tryna give NB a chance but they literally have no available colour ways
Why is No one covering 997R, They are USA made but heavily ignored.. I have a pair and they're beautiful shoes.

Do you know if the 57/40 are comfortable?
@@RediRoc I don’t. Haven’t tried on or own any.. yet.
@@RediRoc they are. Tried them on and they're more comfier than these ones
