TLDR: The New Balance 991 Made in UK “Dijon” brings back the original silhouette in a particularly high-quality version. An upper made from undyed premium suede, classic Made-in-UK quality and subtle natural tones make this trainer one of the most sophisticated New Balance releases of the year. It will be released on 16 July 2026 for €270. With the New Balance 991 “Dijon”, the Flimby-based manufacturer once again demonstrates why the Made in UK series is held in such high regard by sneaker fans. Following the original 991’s comeback last year alongside the 991v2, a particularly luxurious variant is now being released, crafted entirely from premium materials.
The highlight is the upper made from undyed European suede, which envelops the entire shoe. Unlike classic 991 models, New Balance has almost entirely dispensed with mesh inserts, leather overlays or reflective details. Instead, the natural suede – with its deliberately visible colour nuances and raw edges – creates a particularly high-quality, handcrafted look. Dark brown laces provide an elegant contrast, whilst the white tongue label and the two-tone midsole harmoniously round off the design.
With its minimalist design and exceptional choice of materials, the New Balance 991 Made in UK “Dijon” is aimed primarily at enthusiasts of high-quality premium trainers.
