The 991v2 from New Balance has dominated the brand’s seasonal releases since 2023. This month, the OG 991 design is back with a new luxe suede version, dressed in smooth “Dijon” brown for the occasion.
New Balance has been laser focused on their 991v2 style since its introduction in 2023, but their releases are slowing down while new colors of the original v1 design are ramping back up. The OG version arrived in 2001, and is a historic point in the brand’s running technology, with the silhouette being their first ever to offer Abzorb cushioning in both the forefoot and heel of the shoe. The design features a window under the toes where the comfy gel cushioning can be seen, letting runners of that time know where their money was going. With NB’s focus on the 991v2 seemingly slowing down, the 991v1 has surfaced with a new Luxe Suede build, perfect for any occasion you can get by with a slightly dressier sneaker. The initial release constructs the entire shoe from the fuzzy leather textile, removing any trace of breathable mesh in favor of style. Dressed in a “Dijon” brown hue, the upcoming style adds dark brown laces and cream inner linings to complete the look.
