FuelCell is a New Balance midsole foam technology designed to deliver a propulsive feel and high energy return. In the 991v2, the full-length FuelCell midsole provides enhanced cushioning and responsiveness for exceptional all-day comfort.

To clean black suede, first use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For marks, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth, dabbing lightly. Always allow to air dry away from heat.
The New Balance 991v2 is primarily designed as a premium lifestyle and heritage sneaker, focusing on all-day comfort and style. While it offers excellent cushioning, it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
New Balance 991v2 models generally fit true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so for the best experience, it is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible.
The upper of the New Balance 991v2 features a combination of velvety black pigskin suede, black mesh for breathability, and grey leather details, all contributing to its premium look and feel.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap by gently brushing in one direction. For persistent discoloration, try a specialized suede eraser or cleaner.
While FuelCell and ABZORB are durable, consistent heavy use can compress materials. Ensure you're giving the shoes rest days and consider your walking gait. If severe, this might indicate natural wear and tear requiring replacement.
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles, letting it sit overnight before vacuuming or tapping it out. Ensure socks are worn and changed regularly.
The New Balance 991v2 requires no specific 'setup' beyond lacing them to your preferred fit.
