TLDR: The New Balance Made in UK 991v2 ‘Wind Chime’ combines light-coloured mesh, soft suede and subtle shades of grey to create a clean summer colourway. FuelCell, ENCAP and ABZORB SBS deliver modern comfort beneath the classic 99x look. It’s set to be released on 1 August 2026 for €250. With the 991v2 ‘Wind Chime’, New Balance demonstrates just how well a understated colourway can work. The Made-in-UK trainer sits somewhere between a summery off-white model and a classic grey New Balance runner – clean, high-quality and yet far from boring.
The upper combines breathable mesh in ‘Brilliant White’ with soft suede overlays in a light beige. ‘Flint Grey’ provides contrast on the reflective N-logo, the eyelets, the tongue label and the heel area. This gives the trainer enough depth without losing its understated look.
The small details are spot on too: the oval 991 badge on the side, the v2 branding on the heel and reflective elements all remain true to the design language of the 991 series. Added to this are white laces with subtle brown accents, as well as an additional set of all-white laces for an even more minimalist look.
Beneath the classic upper lies modern cushioning. The FuelCell midsole ensures a softer and more dynamic running experience, whilst ENCAP provides stability to the construction. Semi-transparent ABZORB-SBS pods in the forefoot and heel add a subtle accent with their light mauve hue.
