The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK is a sneaker design where quality takes center stage, elevating it far beyond your average footwear. Typically, the model features a combination of premium suede and mesh, equipped with an updated sole construction featuring ENCAP and ABZORB cushioning. As with many of New Balance's "Made in UK" models, the primary focus lies on the choice of materials and superior craftsmanship.
New Balance shows no signs of slowing down, expanding the 991v2 collection with three new colorways: Porcelain Green, Polignac en Forged Iron.
The 'Porcelain Green' colorway consists of various shades of green, combined with grey and even subtle pink tones. The upper is constructed with suede overlays and mesh panels, a signature look for the 991v2.
The 'Polignac' combines two different purple-pink shades, again accented by several grey details. This specific color palette makes the sneaker stand out more than many other 991v2 iterations, while the light tones keep the overall look perfectly balanced.
The 'Forged Iron' colorway utilizes dark grey, black, and subtle metallic accents. This colorway is best described as classic. A New Balance through and through.
