As two of the most iconic models in the NB lineup, the New Balance 991 and New Balance 990v3 both boast an ardent following and a rich history. They were recently combined to make the New Balance 991.9 — a shoe that fuses the 991’s upper with the 990v3’s midsole and outsole — and the hybrid design has now surfaced in a made-in-the-UK combo of turquoise and black. The upper features a luxurious combo of pigskin suede and mesh, with rich turquoise and purple accents providing contrast to the elegant look of the black/grey base. Compared to the coalesced palettes on the upper, the comfy ENCAP midsole then opts to keep things relatively simple, mixing black, white, and grey with a miniscule hit of purple.
