Sneaker Politics Is Throwing A Tailgate For The New Balance 991v2 “Grounded Pastels”

Sneaker Politics Is Throwing A Tailgate For The New Balance 991v2 “Grounded Pastels”

Updated September 9th, 2025: To mark being the exclusive US retailer for the New Balance 991v2 “Dusk” from the “Grounded Pastels” pack, Sneaker Politics is throwing a tailgate celebration at its Baton Rouge, LA store. A draw for the sneakers is up now on the Sneaker Politics website; remaining stock will be available September 13th. Full event details can be found in the IG post embedded below.

Original article published August 28th, 2025:

What the New Balance 990v6 has become stateside, the New Balance 991v2 carries overseas. That is to say, the former silhouette has become one of the more populous propositions for the Boston brand’s US manufacturing, seen again in the New Balance Made in USA Fall/Winter 2025 collection. In similar fashion, the New Balance 991v2 Made in UK continues to dot the newswire with fresh, cleaned-up editions, the case again as it looks to “Dusk” and “Purple Sage.”

Again, simplistic style is often the mission statement with the model’s passing variations, so it’s no shock that this pair remains easily digestible. The everlasting formula of premium pigskin suede and otherwise luxe Flimby materials holds, with a rich, royal composition up top and an off-white swatch in the rear midsole. We’d be remiss not to mention the proximity of this colorway to one of the sneaker’s more high-profile previous moments, almost measuring as a reigned-in version of the Salehe Bembury 991v2. Whether a more accessible version of the NYC designer’s product speaks to you, these should be an easy add to the rotation, somewhere between fall tonals and vibrant statement wear.

The New Balance 991v2 “Dusk” releases September 2025, retailing for $250. The sneaker will be available via Sneaker Politics and newbalance.com in the US, as well as select retailers globally.
