Stone Island x New Balance 991v2 Black Olive

New Balance welcomes a new chapter in its premium Made in UK catalogue with the debut of the NB 991v2. To launch the updated silhouette, the Boston-footwear brand is joining forces with the kings of Italian luxury Stone Island, adding another notch to its collaborative portfolio. The “Black Olive” rendition exudes utilitarian vibes, drawing inspiration from industrial spaces and architecture that defined the UK’s electronic music scene.

Outfitted in the Made in UK’s high-quality fabrics, this pair of New Balance 991v2 is kitted out in an olive chain link-like mesh, woven together to resemble the industrial aesthetic. Rubberised 'N' branding on the sidewall feature reflective elements that illuminate in the dark, a detail also found on the vamp straps, eyestay, and foxing windows. The iconic Compass emblem sits on the sockliner and tongue, allowing you to once again 'get the badge in'. “Made in England” detailing can be spotted on the reverse of tongue, reminding you of the care taken to craft each of these collaborative pairs. Embroidered “V2” and “991” texts decorate the spine and back of heel section. Redefining comfort for today’s standards, the shoe has a full-length FuelCell midsole with visible ABZORB SBS cushioning and ENCAP on the heel for top-tier energy return suitable for a wide range of activities. The tinted, semi-translucent outsole reveals Stone Island’s signature compass logo on the forefoot to round off this update of the early 2000s running icon.
