New Balance recently launched a new version of its classic 991v1 sneaker, the “Luxe Suede,” which is handcrafted in the UK. This premium lifestyle shoe comes in a stylish “Dijon” color and highlights New Balance’s commitment to quality manufacturing at its Flimby factory.

Made in the brand’s original factory in Flimby, England, the 991v1 features a luxurious suede upper instead of the usual mesh. The entire shoe is wrapped in soft, natural tan suede from Europe, with contrasting stitching and slightly unfinished edges for a unique look. The side panels showcase the iconic “N” logo in matching suede, and it’s finished with dark brown laces and a high-quality leather lining for a comfortable feel.

The shoe’s design still reflects its roots as a performance running shoe. It features a white and grey sole with ABZORB cushioning in the heel and front for comfort, and a supportive polyurethane rim. The durable rubber sole offers reliable traction, blending stylish materials with the comfort needed for everyday wear.
