New Balance has released the 991v2 Made in UK in a striking Rose Taupe and Alloy palette. This colored suede pairs beautifully with a gray mesh base, complemented by silver reflective details that nod directly to the original 991 visual identity.
Design and Upper Materials
This specific release expertly combines premium Rose Taupe suede with a durable gray mesh base and synthetic leather accents. Silver reflective detailing adorns the upper, while the molded "N" logo maintains its central placement on the sides. The color story continues beneath the foot; the full-length FuelCell midsole transitions from a warm tone at the heel to white toward the forefoot, further accented by translucent gray ABZORB SBS pods.
Technical Features and Construction
Beyond the main materials, this version integrates advanced cushioning technologies for enhanced comfort. It features an ENCAP cushion in the heel and is grounded by the full-length FuelCell midsole structure. The upper is completed with D-ring laces, which are inspired by hiking footwear, adding another distinctive detail to the overall design.
Produced as part of New Balance’s Made in UK range, this "Rose Taupe" silhouette retains the renowned technical structure of the 991v2. However, it uses soft materials and unique hues to make them the primary element defining its contemporary identity. With Rose Taupe suede, gray mesh, and silver accents, this 991v2 gives a fresh expression to New Balance’s Made in UK heritage.
