New Balance has officially unveiled its latest Made in UK craftsmanship with the release of the New Balance 991v1 “Luxe Suede.” The elevated lifestyle model arrives in a rich “Dijon” colorway, celebrating the Boston brand’s renowned Flimby manufacturing lineage.
Constructed at the brand’s historic factory in Flimby, England, the 991v1 variant replaces traditional mesh paneling with an all-suede upper. Soft, undyed European suede in warm tan tones wraps the entire framework, highlighted by visible contrast stitching and subtle raw edges along the overlays. Tonal leather branding appears on the side panels with the signature “N” logo, complemented by dark brown laces and a premium leather interior lining for an elevated hand-feel.
Underfoot, the silhouette retains its technical running heritage. An off-white and grey midsole houses visible ABZORB cushioning pods in both the forefoot and heel, paired with a polyurethane ENCAP rim for structural stability. A durable two-tone rubber outsole provides long-lasting grip, balancing sophisticated lifestyle materials with everyday functional comfort.
