These brown New Balance M997 suede sneakers feature a low top design, squared toe, front lace-up fastenings, contrasting panels, flat rubber sole and branding to the side, tongue, heel counter and insole. Bad sneakers. In the words of Calvin Harris, 'It was acceptable in the '80s. It was acceptable at the time.' But now it's 2020, and bad sneakers are a no-no. Thankfully, these New Balance sneakers will keep you right.
