New Balance 991v2 Made in UK "Cement Douglas Fir" U991DL2
New Balance continues to honour its UK legacy with the latest 991v2 “Cement Douglas Fir”, crafted at the brand’s Flimby factory in Cumbria. Part of the “Essentially Offbeat” pack for Spring/Summer 2025, this version celebrates British design cues through earthy tones, layered textures, and performance-driven upgrades.
The upper features breathable mesh underlays in seasonal hues, layered with premium pigsuede in muted greys and greens. New Balance adds synthetic vamp straps and contrasting tongue labels to break up the tonal balance, giving the shoe a confident yet grounded personality. It still nods to the original 991 silhouette, but this version sharpens the shape and smooths the lines for a more current feel.
FuelCell midsole cushioning brings this heritage runner into modern territory. It adds bounce and softness without weighing down the design. The black and off-white sole underfoot keeps things practical with everyday grip and long-wear comfort.
Made in the UK and proud of it, the 991v2 stays loyal to its running roots while adapting to today’s pace. New Balance doesn’t overdo the tweaks — it refines what’s already worked for over two decades. The result lands somewhere between athletic utility and low-key lifestyle staple.
