New Balance 991V2 Made in UK Lands in Sea Grass

The New Balance 991V2 Made in UK arrives in Sea Grass, a lifestyle take on the running silhouette that debuted in 2001. As the first 99X model of the 21st century, the original 991 set the standard for contemporary running design. This V2 iteration refines that legacy with a streamlined upper that blends pigskin suede, mesh, and synthetic materials for a sleeker profile while keeping the familiar silhouette intact.

The most significant update is the addition of full-length FuelCell midsole cushioning, bringing modern comfort technology to a classic foundation. That cushioning system works alongside ENCAP midsole cushioning, which combines soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim for a blend of responsive feel and durability. Semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods sit within the midsole, maintaining the shoe’s heritage cushioning approach even as FuelCell takes the lead role.

Design details include debossed line work on the ‘N’ logo, reflective accents, and embroidered ‘v2’ branding on the tongue. A durable rubber outsole handles ground contact. The Sea Grass colorway delivers a neutral, versatile aesthetic that pairs the shoe’s technical elements with everyday wearability.

The New Balance 991V2 Made in UK retails for $270.00 and is available now.
