Celebrating over two decades of legacy, the New Balance 991 received an upgrade with the introduction of the 991v2 at the end of 2023. Produced in the esteemed Flimby factory in the UK, known for its exceptional quality footwear, this iteration continues to embody the essence of premium sneaker design. As New Balance ventures into the new year, it renews its commitment to delivering designs that balance heritage with forward-thinking aesthetics, and the 991v2 Nimbus Cloud is the latest from Flimby.
The New Balance 991v2 Nimbus Cloud offers a harmonious blend of luxurious materials and subtle hues. This model features an upper constructed from the finest pigskin suede, nubuck, and mesh, ensuring comfort and durability. The color scheme is a study in the mastery of greyscale, with nimbus cloud tones adorning the suede overlays and darker greys woven into the mesh base. This nuanced approach to color elevates the sneaker, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
The 991v2 also introduces slight modifications to its branding, with the 991 insignia on the lateral heel and V2 logos on the heel and tongue, adding a contemporary touch to the classic silhouette. Other details include the N logo on the midfoot and Made in England branding atop the tongue. Below, the sneaker is finished with a grey and white FuelCell-cushioned midsole and a coordinating grey rubber outsole, promising unmatched comfort and support.
The New Balance 991v2 Nimbus Cloud will release in 2024 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $250.
