Since its original release in 2001, the New Balance 991 sneaker has been synonymous with enhanced performance and quality. This updated Made in UK version represents a new pinnacle, taking this iconic shoe to the next level. Made from a mesh and pigskin suede upper, it features a full-length FuelCell cushioned midsoles, ABZORB SBS pod, a signature ‘N’ logo stitched to the sidewall and reflective details. Mesh & Pigskin Suede Uppers, Lace-Up, FuelCell Midsole Cushioning, ABZORB SBS Pod, Rubber Sole, Branded & Reflective Details, New Balance. The 991v2 has evolved from the 991 from 2001. The original design set the standards for running shoes of the 00s, although near perfection, the upgrades that were made to the silhouette have been carefully thought out by New Balance. With slight changes to both functionality and aesthetics, this iteration is coated in 'Rock Ridge' premium pigskin suede, accompanied by mesh and leather accents in shades of silver. In the midsole, ABZROB SBS units feature in shades of an archival teal - a hue from the 998. The pair are signed off with a MADE in UK patch on the tongue.
