New Balance 991v2 Made in England "Grape Sorbet Pack - Beechnut" U991GT2

The “Beechnut” edition of the New Balance 991v2 extends the Grape Sorbet Pack with a shift in tone and feel. This one lands in deeper territory — a rich mix of green suede and darker mesh that stands apart from its mauve and apricot siblings. As expected from the Made in UK line, the construction is handled in Flimby, with the usual premium materials and attention to shape.

This pair leads with its layered green upper, blending soft suede and airy mesh in tones that nod to vineyard foliage. It avoids the overly sweet direction, instead bringing in darker blue underlays and subtle navy contrasts that give it a sportier energy. There’s a grounded feel here — more rugged than previous Sorbet drops, but still on theme.

Red accents on the ABZORB SBS midsole shift the balance further. They break up the green without clashing, adding just enough visual disruption to keep things interesting. The rust-like heel pod and neutral outsole stay consistent with the pack’s earth-based palette, but the result feels more active and athletic.

Not to be confused with the similar-looking pair from the Grounded Pastels Pack or the Paris-exclusive City Pack release, this version carves its own space. It’s recognisably 991v2 but bolder in execution — ideal for those looking for a Made in UK release with more edge. Grape Sorbet, but with bark.
