New Balance 997 Jimi Hendrix Woodstock

This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock Festival. New Balance has therefore created a special New Balance 997, inspired by the stage dress of the last performer of the festival, Jimi Hendrix. Each piece of Hendrix's outfit is included here: the blue-rimmed, gray-trimmed suede neighborhood recognizes his wild fringed jacket, a daring blue piece of box-foot nods to his trousers with a bell and the heel marks his headband and its patterned guitar strap with its mix of purplish pink hues and prints. A slightly yellow ENCAP midsole offers both comfort and cushioning, while greeting the cream-colored guitar that Hendrix brought on stage – and played backwards for the duration of his set. However, the most notable detail of all could very well be the blue tongue with a star with red text, a possible tribute to the militant interpretation of the legendary rocker of the American national anthem. Appropriate tribute to the extremely influential festival and probably to its greatest performer, you can expect New Balances to be available soon at retailers like Concepts. So enjoy a detailed overview below.
