TLDR: The New Balance 991v2 ‘Porcelain’ combines understated elegance with subtle colour accents. Soft porcelain suede, green mesh and subtle pink ABZORB details modernise this classic British-made shoe without compromising its high-quality character – available mid-February for €250. The New Balance 991v2 is one of the stalwarts of the Made in UK line and has always stood for quality, comfort and understated design. With the ‘Porcelain’ colourway, New Balance shows how subtle fresh colours can be integrated into a classic silhouette.
The upper is made of porcelain-coloured pigskin suede with a slightly washed-out look, giving the shoe a calm, high-quality base. Underneath, green trooper and teal mesh add subtle accents and bring some vibrancy to the design without disturbing the clean overall impression. Grey synthetic overlays provide structure and sharpen the lines of the silhouette.
The sole also deliberately plays with contrasts: a cream-coloured midsole keeps the look grounded, while pink ABZORB pods add a modern twist and subtly reference the model's performance roots. A black outsole rounds off the design. The branding remains minimal – ‘991’ on the heel and a small ‘v2’ are more than enough.
