Don’t let sneaker fans’ Americentrism fool you. Teddy Santis’ New Balance Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 collection may be the biggest headline to come out of Boston (on that side of the New Balance 990v7, at least), but Made in UK continues to serve up their own stunners for the colder months.

Reported to be part of an upcoming “Vintage Sports” duo, a moniker that’s served as part of a rotation of kitschy titles (“Grounded Pastels,” “Summer Brights,” etc.), the “Karanda Red” takes things into an expressive direction. The full upper is united in burgundy mesh underpinnings and fiery suede, leading to a fully colored-in upper that breaks away from the neutral tones we know and love from NB.

The New Balance 991v2 “Karanda Red” is currently expected to hit shelves on October 1st, though a stateside/official NB launch may differ a bit. For now, check out detailed images included ahead.
