Available Now // New Balance 991 “Metallic Silver”
Though it gets a little less love than its 990 and 992 sisters, the New balance 991 has had quite a strong year in 2021. With all the focus shifted to the 990 line’s newest model, fans of the 991 have been treated to a few low-key killers that have snuck through to retailers. This patriotic pair is a fine example of that, hitting retailers earlier this month almost unnoticed.
Anchored in dark grey mesh, the brand takes a modern approach to its typical grey overlays by ditching pigskin in favor of a metallic finish — though there still is some fine suede at the midfoot and toe. Dark navy and black nubucks cover the midfoot and tongue, while profile N motifs carry through more of the dark blue hue. Pops of red at the tongue branding, heel, and upper eyestays link into the ostensible USA themes, and the pair is wrapped up with a classic beige, white, and black sole unit underfoot.
Grab a closer look at the pair here below, and if you’re feeling it, then you can head to SSENSE to secure a pair today on the low.
