The durable pigskin suede and mesh upper allows for breathability and maintains a premium look, transitioning seamlessly from a casual outing to a focused workout.

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 991v2:
Cleaning the Upper (Pigskin Suede & Mesh):
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush is ideal).
Mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water.
Dampen a clean cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe down mesh and synthetic areas. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Avoid saturating the suede; excessive moisture can cause damage or discoloration.
Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or soft brush with mild soap to clean dirt from the FuelCell, ABZORB SBS, and ENCAP components.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Protection: For suede, consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to help protect against elements.
