The New Balance 991v2 Sets Off A “Wind Chime”

Part of our frequent evocation of New Balance’s “breakneck pace” when it comes to introduce models is because of how much it breaks from their usual MO. Sure, collaborations and the seasonal slate have allowed energy to seep into the catalog, but for years on years, the stable of 99x and associated models kept the fanbase satiated.

No doubt, the Boston brand has only widened their consumer base in recent times, perhaps necessitating this newfound streak of innovation that’s taken over their business model. Still, those aforementioned silhouettes are keeping on keeping on, as is the case with the New Balance 991v2 “Wind Chime.” Echoing “Nimbus Cloud” colorways of old, the this variation brings open mesh materiality to the base layer and purple hits embedded within the midsole, two against-type touches that help spruce up what’s otherwise another clean grey-on-white pair out of Flimby.

The New Balance 991v2 “Wind Chime” is scheduled for an August 1st release via European retailers. It’s unclear whether that’ll hold stateside, but you can comfortably expect these sometime in August.
