New Balance’s UK factory, situated in the quaint coastal village of Flimby, England, has been producing some of the brand’s most highly regarded sneakers for nearly four decades. Among its notable creations, the 991 series received a significant update last October with the introduction of the 991v2. This updated model has quickly become a favorite from the Flimby facility and is now set to release in a striking new “Grape Sorbet” colorway.

About the New Balance 991v2 MADE in UK “Grape Sorbet”

This “Grape Sorbet” iteration is part of a two-pack of 991v2s, which also includes a “Pink Mauve” version. The “Grape Sorbet” design features light green pigskin suede overlays on sections such as the mudguard and collar, complemented by a darker forest green mesh base. Grey accents are visible on the toebox and tongue, where the phrase “New Balance MADE in England” is prominently displayed in white.

The upper is further enhanced with subtle metallic silver details on the “N” logo, vamp, and heel tab, with “991” embroidered on the heel. Below, a two-tone grey and white foam midsole, equipped with FuelCell cushioning, provides comfort and support, with vibrant orange pops on the heel and forefoot. A black and grey rubber outsole completes the design.

Release Details

The New Balance 991v2 MADE in UK “Grape Sorbet” is scheduled for release on 31 July. It will be available in men’s sizing for US$250 through New Balance’s official channels and select online and in-store retailers.
