New Balance 991v2 Made in UK "Neo Synthesis" U991PW2

The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK “Neo Synthesis” is a clean example of how the brand continues to refresh heritage models without losing what makes them special. Crafted at the legendary Flimby factory, this edition pairs timeless comfort with a forward-thinking palette inspired by industrial tones and natural materials.

At first glance, the colour mix sets it apart. The upper leans into a neutral beige base, balanced by layers of soft pig suede in light “Silver Birch” hues. Mesh underlays feature a structured, grid-like weave, adding a tactile contrast that gives the shoe a utilitarian edge. Touches of algae green on the midsole and subtle black detailing across the panels give the sneaker a grounded, almost architectural feel. It’s restrained yet full of character — a look that fits just as easily with technical streetwear as with simple everyday fits.

Underfoot, the familiar 991v2 midsole returns with refined ABZORB cushioning, offering reliable support and comfort for long wear. Pops of hi-vis green and darker tones along the sole bring life to the understated upper, creating balance without overcomplicating the design. It’s the kind of colour story that feels purposeful, with every shade earning its place.

As part of the Made in UK series, the “Neo Synthesis” continues New Balance’s legacy of premium craftsmanship. Every panel, stitch, and finish reflects the brand’s long-standing attention to detail — the reason sneakerheads still look to Flimby as the standard for quality.
