New Balance introduced the world to the 991v2 in 2023, updating the two-decade-old New Balance 991 with modern-day cushioning. Since its launch, we've seen the model be subject to a variety of inline colorways as well as collaborative efforts with the likes of Patta, Stone Island, and Daniëlle Cathari. Dover Street Market London has announced an exclusive colorway of the New Balance 991v2 to coincide with the London Marathon.
Crafted with a meticulous eye for quality and detail, this exclusive iteration of the New Balance 991v2 is draped in a sophisticated, almost all-black colorway, reflecting the elegance and understated style synonymous with both New Balance’s Made in UK line and Dover Street Market’s curated aesthetic. The sneaker boasts a rich assembly of premium materials, including plush pigskin suede, refined leather, and breathable mesh, ensuring a luxurious feel and durable construction. Its dark hues are complemented by strategic placements of 3M reflective elements, offering subtle contrast and visibility. At the same time, bespoke touches like the TCS London Marathon logo on the insole underscore the exclusivity of this collaboration. Underfoot sits a black FuelCell cushioned midsole with pops of orange and green paired with a black outsole.
The Dover Street Market Exclusive New Balance 991v2 Made in UK London Marathon will release on March 21, 2024, exclusively at Dover Street Market in-store and via Dover Street Market London online. As of now, the price has yet to be announced. Given the history of 991v2 models retailing at $250, it's reasonable to expect a similar starting price. Since this release is exclusive to DSML, buyers outside the UK should prepare for VAT and convert their payment to GBP.
