New Balance has officially presented the New Balance 991v2 “Walnut/Shitake”, delivering a rich, autumn-ready iteration of its flagship Made in England silhouette. The release brings earthy tonal depth to the streamlined 99X series model.
The upper combines suede overlays, smooth leather panels, and a breathable mesh base, each executing shades of Walnut brown and Shitake grey-brown to highlight the shoe’s distinct layering and textures. Deep brown tones extend onto the inner lining and rubber outsole, while subtle branding details—including the classic “N” logos and debossed “991v2” stamps—blend seamlessly into the tonal design.
Underfoot, the runner is supported by a triple-density cushioning setup that integrates full-length FuelCell foam alongside ABZORB pods and classic ENCAP midsole stability, offering a comfortable, supportive ride.
The New Balance 991v2 “Walnut/Shitake” officially launches on August 20, 2026.
