The New Balance 991v2 is gaining two fresh colorways: the 'Limoges' and the 'Grenadine'. With this release, the 991v2 receives two completely different looks while the foundation remains the same. The difference lies primarily in the colours and materials used.
New Balance 991v2 ‘Limoges’ vs ‘Grenadine’
The ‘Limoges’ and ‘Grenadine’ perfectly demonstrate how versatile a single model can be.
The ‘Limoges’ features a mix of blue and grey tones, creating a calm and easy-to-wear look. Thanks to the combination of suede and mesh, there is enough material contrast to keep the sneaker interesting.
The ‘Grenadine’ is a bit more of an eye-catcher. The red tones give the sneaker more character, yet the overall design remains well-balanced. The various panels and materials add depth to the shoe without making it look too busy.
What both sneakers have in common is the construction of the model. The layers of suede over mesh provide that recognizable look. The branding on the tongue and side is subtle, and the finish feels robust. The sole has been slightly updated compared to previous versions to offer more comfort while maintaining the model’s classic aesthetic.
New Balance 991v2 Made in UK
The New Balance 991v2 is part of New Balance’s renowned Made in UK line. These sneakers are crafted in Flimby, a factory in England where the brand has been producing its premium models for years. This makes this line a bit more special than standard releases.
The 991 itself has been around since 2001 and was known back then as one of New Balance’s superior running shoes. The v2 builds on that legacy but features several updates, such as a revamped sole and a slightly more modern finish. As a result, the sneaker remains recognisable but feels more contemporary.
What makes this line so popular is the combination of high-quality materials, comfort, and timeless design. The 991v2 fits perfectly into that mold and remains a go-to choice for many sneaker enthusiasts.
