The New Balance 997.5 MiUSA is a hybrid sneaker that blends the 997 upper with the 998 sole unit, made in the USA at New Balance's Maine factories. It pairs a mesh and suede upper with an ENCAP-cushioned midsole, so it feels softer underfoot than a standard 997 while keeping the slimmer, retro profile. It suits people who want a premium, domestically made lifestyle sneaker with a story behind the design. Against the 990 series it is lighter and less chunky, but it offers less plush cushioning and fewer wide-fit options than the 990v5 or v6.

Owners treat the 997.5 as a collector's hybrid and praise the US build quality, the soft 998 sole and the classic gray look. Complaints center on narrow fit, limited stock and less comfort than the 990 line for long days on foot.
