Though it’s quickly become part of the fabric with countless appearances in 2024, don’t forget that the New Balance 991v2 as is nearly much of a new proposition as recent models like the New Balance 1000, only predating the latter by a handful of months. Despite its relatively truncated life cycle so far, it’s made quite an impression in that span, particularly in its inclusions in the Made In UK program, an initiative it’s helping bolster again with a just-unveiled “Cuban Sand” edition.

We won’t say it’s par for the course for the silhouette, as the New Balance 991v2 has issued plenty of vibrant, knockout looks in the past, but the pair at hand relies on the calm shades that New Balance fans as a whole have come to know and love. As a Flimby product, this New Balance 991v2 carries refined materials and touches on top of its neutral-shaded colorway. Pigskin suede stands as the most prominent edition, but the construction overall reflects the premium price point that comes with this pair.

The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK “Cuban Sand” is available now via select overseas outlets, with its official NewBalance.com launch still to be confirmed. Regardless of where you pick up your pair, be ready for a sticker price around $250.
