New Balance 991v2 Made in UK London "Black" U991LD2

The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK London “Black” U991LD2 emerges as an updated version of the 991 series, initially launched as a pioneering model for the 21st-century running scene. Drawing inspiration from the urban setting of the TCS London Marathon, this iteration showcases a commitment to both performance and thematic design. The shoe is constructed from a combination of pigskin suede, mesh, and synthetic materials, all presented in a cohesive black colour scheme. This is complemented by reflective elements for improved visibility, catering to both practical and aesthetic considerations.

Distinctive features of the 991v2 include ABZORB SBS pods in shades of ‘mango’ and ‘bleached lime’, providing a vivid contrast against the shoe’s darker tones. These not only add a visual highlight but also contribute to the shoe’s functionality, enhancing cushioning and comfort. The insoles carry a custom graphic inspired by the marathon, offering an abstract representation of motion and the dynamic spirit of running. This model benefits from advanced technology, including a full-length FuelCell midsole for superior energy return and ENCAP cushioning that combines soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim, ensuring a balanced and supportive ride.

Further details such as debossed ‘N’ logo lines, semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods, and embroidered ‘v2’ tongue branding enrich the shoe’s design, while the custom TCS London Marathon graphic insoles underline its special edition status. Aimed at runners who value the fusion of innovative technology with meaningful design, the 991v2 stands out as a testament to New Balance’s dedication to quality and thematic storytelling through footwear.
