Where to Buy New Balance 1700 "Steel Blue"

Typically only available in Japan, New Balance is now giving its American sneaker fans a chance to own its Made In Japan New Balance 1700 in the iconic “Steel Blue” colorway.

The forthcoming New Balance 1700 “Steel Blue” boasts a classic construction made from a mix of pig suede, perforated leather, and mesh. The majority of the sneaker’s upper is dressed in greyish brown tones while the titular contrasting “Steel Blue” hue arrives on the toe box, heel, outlining the label’s signature “N” insignia, and finally on the midsole’s cushioning system.

In terms of branding, “MADE IN USA” arrives on the tongue while “1700” appears on the lateral heel. Final specs include the ABZORB, ENCAP, and C-CAP cushioning system underfoot.

Interested readers can expect the New Balance 1700 “Steel Blue” to release via NewBalance.com on Friday, October 15, as well as eBay. The retail price is set at $200. Select retailers, such as Extra Butter is currently holding a raffle for the aforementioned pair.
