New Balance is celebrating the legacy of the iconic 991 with a fresh twist, continuing to create through the revamped 991v2 with the “City Edition” pack.

The original New Balance 991 has been a staple in the sneaker community, admired for its blend of style and performance. Known for its premium materials and innovative ABZORB cushioning, the 991 quickly became a favorite among sneaker enthusiasts and casual wearers. Its distinct design and reliable comfort have cemented its place in New Balance’s storied lineup.

The latest release pays homage to the storied history of the 991, a silhouette that first made waves in the early 2000s with its sleek design and comfort. Additionally, the collection highlights marquee cities worldwide that have honored the New Balance legacy and played a fundamental role in sneaker culture through the years.

Enter the 991v2, a modern reimagining that carries forward the legacy of its predecessor while introducing contemporary updates. This iteration retains the essence of the original with a familiar silhouette but incorporates advanced materials and design elements that enhance both form and function. The “City Edition” pack highlights this evolution, featuring unique colorways inspired by global cities, each telling its own story through vibrant hues and premium textures: Paris (green), Tokyo (pink), Baltimore (blue), Shanghai (red), and Seoul & Melbourne (yellow).

The 991v2 maintains the hallmark ABZORB cushioning, ensuring the same level of comfort that made the 991 a classic. However, it steps up the game with retooled construction and an aesthetic that appeals to today’s sneaker aficionados. New Balance’s signature quality is at the shoe’s core, much like its predecessor from the high-grade suede and mesh upper to the precision-engineered sole.

With the “City Exclusive” capsule, New Balance honors the 991’s heritage while celebrating key players in the sneaker industry.

The collection releases throughout August at select retailers.
