New Balance 991v2 "Smoked Pearl" U991RR2
The New Balance 991v2 “Smoked Pearl” feels like a calm moment in a season full of loud colour. It leans soft. Muted. Confident without forcing the issue. For fans of UK-made runners, this one hits a sweet spot.
This Made in UK 991v2 brings a dusty pink tone that feels worn-in rather than bright. Smoked Pearl sits somewhere between blush and stone, giving the shoe a relaxed look that works across seasons. It’s a shade that fits naturally into rotation, especially if you like neutral-heavy fits with a hint of warmth.
Materials do the talking. Premium pigsuede panels wrap the upper, paired with breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for structure. The mix keeps the silhouette sharp while adding depth as light moves across the textures. Every panel feels intentional, yet easy on the eye.
Underfoot, the familiar 991v2 midsole blends light beige and grey, keeping things grounded. Subtle green hits appear on the visible cushioning elements, adding quiet contrast without breaking the flow. FuelCell cushioning sits inside, offering a smooth, comfortable ride that works for long walks and full days out.
The shape stays true to the 991 lineage. Balanced. Supportive. Timeless. This is a runner that feels just as right with relaxed denim as it does with tailored trousers.
