New Balance’s Made In UK line has become synonymous with high-quality craftsmanship produced by Flimby-based artisans. The British division has embraced the 991 silhouette in 2023, recently releasing the low-top model in “Brown Rice” and “Coconut Milk.” Now, New Balance dips the 991 in “Sequoia” hues ahead of the Fall season. The athletic sneaker is designed with dim-lit “Falcon” mesh underlays, complemented by tonal leather trimmings that hug the toe boxes and ankle areas. Dusty brown suede toppings run through the mudguards, medials panels, and heel counters, featuring leather “N” insignia at the sides. Model-specific numerals land inside the rear windows, completing the design with “MADE IN ENGLAND” tongue tags and two-toned ENCAP sole units that provide supreme comfort on the move. Take a closer look at the New Balance Made In UK 991 “Sequoia” in the gallery above. The model will release later this year via New Balance and select retailers for $230 USD.
