The New Balance 991v2 Polishes Off “Insignia Blue”
What to know
ClosetKept AI- New Balance 991v2 'Insignia Blue' features darkened blue suede with grey mesh and silver leather underlays.
- Made in UK production; part of paired pack strategy with 'Rose Taupe' colorway.
- Release date: August 10, 2026. Expected retail price: $270.
- Part of New Balance's seasonal capsule approach; autumn-focused colorway.
New Balance’s “Made in” series has always been known for a workmanlike consistency. While Teddy Santis’ USA products have made two seasonal capsules into big moments for stateside fans to watch, the brand’s Flimby arm continues to drop off new product every few weeks, with the New Balance 991v2 becoming one of the defining silhouettes in their Made in UK tapestry.
Paired “packs” have become an integral part of that strategy, already seen in 2026 with the “Limoges“/ “Grenadine,” the pastel “Sea Glass“/”Mahogany Rose,” and the self-explanatory “Summer Brights” that leaned on vibrant blues and greens. With the impending change of seasons, the New Balance 991v2 gets ahead with darkened “Insignia Blue” suede, a colorful choice that sits atop classic grey mesh and silver leather underlays. It’s a saturated execution befitting autumn, one that aligns perfectly with the “Rose Taupe” likely to uphold the accompanying part of this duo.
The New Balance 991v2 “Insignia Blue” is already appearing at overseas retailers. Expect this pair and the “Rose Taupe” to drop alongside one another in the coming weeks. A $270 retail price is likely.
