Description

This version of the Made in UK 991v2 emphasizes an exceptionally bright and airy appearance. With white knit, off-white hues, and warm gray tones, the silhouette plays with subtle variations before allowing a few darker details to break its equilibrium.

Design and Aesthetic Details

The upper features breathable white mesh, complemented by premium pig suede overlays and synthetic details in off-white and warm gray shades. This combination gives the 991v2 a multi-layered construction while maintaining a light visual impression. The specific palette, Wind Chime / Brilliant White / Flint Gray, is further accented by precise elements: a silver 'CR' detail appears on the heel, and semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods take on a brown-violet shade that provides a subtle contrast against the upper's brightness.

Performance and Craftsmanship

Under this seasonal approach, the 991v2 retains its technical construction, featuring a full-length FuelCell midsole and ENCAP cushioning. This advanced system combines soft foam with polyurethane edging. The model thus successfully merges the characteristic materials associated with Made in UK craftsmanship into an especially luminous palette. A 991v2 where light tones dominate the profile, punctuated by details that gradually reveal its structure.
