The New Balance 991 Made in UK was in service for over 20 years before retiring and making way for the 991v2. Since this transition in October 2023, the model has been a mainstay in Flimby, with multiple collaborations and inline colors hitting shelves each season. Next up for the 991v2 after the Grounded Pastels Pack is a Pink Mauve makeover.
Unlike the previous pink-based 991v2 Made in UK, this version opts for a two-tone upper that combines light pink and mauve hues. Light pink hairy pigskin suede appears on the mudguard, midfoot panel, collar overlay, and heel, while the open-spaced mesh base is rendered in mauve. Cream leather panels are found along the tobox and tongue tag, the latter displaying Made in England text in a tonal white finish.
More branding features hit the midfoot, heel overlay, and heel tab, as the N logo, 991 emblem, and V2 symbols are placed at these locations, respectively. Completing the upper is a tinted lace set in a rosy finish, a metallic silver 3M panel on the heel tab, and grey TPU eyelets. Below sits a cream FuelCell-cushioned midsole with pops of orange near the heel and forefoot and a tonal rubber outsole.
The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK Pink Mauve will release sometime in 2025 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $250.
