Zonal padding concentrates cushioning where impact peaks occur

The New Balance 991v2 from the Grape Sorbet Pack merges technical innovation with a detailed design inspired by the rich tones of grapes. This updated version of the classic 991, originally released in 2001, features a premium upper crafted from hairy suede, breathable mesh, and synthetic elements, forming a sleeker overall shape. Full-length FuelCell cushioning provides a highly responsive feel, supported by ENCAP technology and distinctive ABZORB SBS pods in a warm rust shade for added contrast. The color concept reflects the depth and variation of grape hues, with darker mesh and lighter suede overlays hinting at the soft texture of sorbet. Reflective accents and the debossed N logo bring modern touches, while the embroidered v2 on the tongue emphasizes the evolution of this icon. Made in Flimby, UK, the 991v2 stands for exceptional craftsmanship, functional innovation, and a stylish nod to the originalrefreshed with a seasonal and refined look.
