The unisex New Balance Made in UK 991v2 sneakers in Forged Iron with Alloy and Smoked Pearl mark a new evolution of the iconic 991, first released in 2001 as the opening chapter of the 99X series.

Full-length FuelCell midsole delivers responsive energy return, paired with ENCAP cushioning that blends soft foam and a durable polyurethane rim for lasting comfort. Semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods and reflective details enhance the ride, while the debossed ‘N’ logo and embroidered ‘v2’ tongue branding keep the design heritage intact.

Weighing approximately 425 grams, the New Balance Made in UK 991v2 Sneakers  balances technical performance with timeless style. Pair them with selvedge denim, wool chinos or relaxed tailoring to let the tonal greys and premium materials elevate everyday rotations.
