TLDR: The New Balance 991v2 ‘Elephant’ combines classic NB design with modern materials – grey mesh, high-quality suede and subtle salmon accents create a timeless look. The sneaker will be released on 16 January 2026 and will cost €250. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The New Balance 991v2 ‘Elephant’ is the latest addition to the Made in UK series – and remains true to the New Balance style: understatement, quality and comfort are the focus. The base is made of dark mesh, structured with light grey suede overlays. The salmon-coloured accents on the tongue and midfoot area are particularly eye-catching – subtle but effective.
Details such as the reflective ‘N’ logo, the sculpted midsole and the cream-coloured laces stylishly round off the design. The off-white midsole with a vintage finish is reminiscent of past New Balance designs and gives the sneaker a certain retro touch – without looking old-fashioned.
Technically, the 991v2 impresses as usual with a FuelCell cushioning system, ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP technology – a combination that makes the shoe perfect for everyday wear. Despite its performance base, the look remains clearly lifestyle-oriented and significantly more subtle than some other releases of the model.
