New Balance x mfpen - MADE in UK 991v1 'Surplus Leathers' Grey Low Top Sneakers

The unisex New Balance x mfpen MADE in UK 991v1 'Surplus Leathers' sneakers in Grey gives excess materials new life through a limited 90-pair release, reimagining the archival 991v1 with upcycled surplus leathers from New Balance's Flimby, England factory to deliver a lived-in, minimalist aesthetic aligned with mfpen's design philosophy.

Engineered with a tumbled nubuck, pigsuede and mesh upper, the collaboration embraces New Balance's heritage while introducing a hand-debossed "N" logo that blends Flimby factory craftsmanship with mfpen's understated, normcore sensibility. The result is a distinctive, story-driven silhouette that balances archival runner cues with sustainable, artisanal detailing.

Styled in a muted Grey palette with tonal accents and minimal branding, the 'Surplus Leathers' 991v1 offers a versatile, elevated look that pairs well with tailored trousers, relaxed denim or layered seasonal outfits. Wear them with grey tailored trousers and a white tee for a clean, tonal outfit, or pair them with dark denim and a chore jacket to lean into the shoe's heritage-meets-minimalist character.
