Name: New Balance 991v2 “Raven”
Colorway: Raven/Olive/Charcoal/White
SKU: U991GP2
MSRP: $250 USD
Release Date: Holiday 2025
Where to Buy: New Balance

New Balance continues to refine its legacy with the official unveiling of the 991v2 “Raven,” a sophisticated, stealthy take on the updated MADE in U.K. classic. This latest colorway showcases the brand’s commitment to premium materials and superior design, cloaking the modernized silhouette in a deep, dark palette.

The “Raven” edition utilizes a luxurious blend of premium black and charcoal pigskin suede overlays set against a breathable, dark grey mesh base, contrasting the light purple lining and outlines of the lateral logo. Subtle and reflective accents are strategically placed on the ‘N’ logo, ensuring the shoe maintains high visibility while staying true to its muted theme. The overall aesthetic is one of understated elegance, making it an incredibly versatile option.

Beyond aesthetics, the 991v2 upgrades the comfort and performance of the original. The sole unit is significantly re-engineered, featuring a full-length FuelCell foam midsole paired with ABZORB cushioning inserts in the forefoot and heel. This combination delivers a distinctly soft yet highly responsive ride, elevating the daily wear experience. Crafted in the famed Flimby factory, the 991v2 “Raven” embodies the pinnacle of New Balance craftsmanship. Look for this elevated, all-purpose model to release globally soon.
