New Balance's UK brand is recognised for providing distinctive silhouettes that are not widely accessible in the United States. The 991v2 is one such model that is currently available at foreign stores in a new hue.

The sneaker has characteristic "Coco" nubuck overlays over a "Mocca" mesh base. The 991v2 differs from the legendary 991 model by having a narrower outsole, tongue, and heel, resulting in a flatter and more stable fit.

While Made in UK New Balance releases sometimes fly under the radar when compared to more generally accepted Made in USA collections, they provide a wider range of styles to sneakerheads.
