NEW BALANCE CELEBRATES GLOBAL LOVE FOR THE 991V2 WITH “CITY EDITION” PACK

New Balance’s made-in-the-UK 991v2 silhouette hasn’t even been on the market for a full year, but it has quickly risen to prominence through collaborations with the likes of Stone Island, Patta, and Daniëlle Cathari, as well as clean in-line colorways like “Brown” and “Brandied Apricot.” Now, New Balance is honoring the global love the updated 991 has received with a five-shoe “City Edition” pack.

Each shoe in the pack is exclusive to a specific region, launching in partnership with one of that region’s premier boutiques. The blue colorway is dropping in the USA with the help of Social Status, yellow in the greater Asia-Pacific region through Casestudy and UP THERE, green in France via Starcow, pink in Japan with a boost from atmos, and finally, red in China through New Balance’s own NB Grey concept store. Beyond their vibrant pig suede uppers, all five pairs follow a consistent build featuring black and grey accents on the upper and a two-tone black and grey midsole with a full-length FuelCell footbed encased in a durable ENCAP rim.

These boutique-exclusive releases will be staggered throughout August, with the green pair leading the way on August 10, followed by the pink on August 14, blue on August 17, red on August 21, and yellow on August 28. While the official MSRP has yet to be confirmed, standard 991v2 colorways retail for $250 USD, so it’s likely that these special editions will be priced similarly.
