New Balance 991v2 Made in England "City Exclusives Pack USA" U991KB2
The 991v2 returns with a look that feels fresh yet familiar. This pair leans on a blackout mesh base, then stacks rich deep-blue pigskin suede across the upper for a soft, premium finish. Grey synthetic panels frame the forefoot and tie in with the matching “N” logos, laces, lining, and heel tab. Small embroidered hits on the tongue and heel add quiet flair and underline its UK build.
Slip these on and you’ll notice the cushioning straight away. The midsole blends ENCAP support with clear ABZORB SBS pods at the front and back. Under that sits full-length FuelCell, giving the shoe a smooth ride that works well for long days or quick errands.
There’s history behind it too. Since dropping in 2001, the 991 has held a reputation for strong materials and a dependable shape. The v2 version keeps that spirit but trims the profile slightly for a more streamlined stance. It still feels like a 991, just sharper.
This colourway is part of a five-pair set released in select regions only. Think of those old grail hunts before everything was a click away. If you enjoy rare drops with a story, this one ticks the box.
Perfect for collectors. Easy for daily wear. And a solid pick for anyone in the UK eyeing the next standout New Balance release.
