The New Balance 991v2 “Elephant” steps into January 2026 with a Grey/Salmon palette rooted in heritage restraint. This latest Made in UK sneaker continues New Balance’s push toward refined lifestyle runners.

Grey suede overlays anchor the upper, layered over dark mesh for depth and structure. Salmon accents sweep the midfoot and tongue, offering warmth without breaking the neutral balance. Compared to louder recent 991v2 colorways, this pair feels deliberately toned down.

Classic 991v2 detailing remains intact, including reflective “N” logos and sculpted midsoles. Cream laces and an aged off-white midsole nod to archival New Balance design language. FuelCell cushioning underneath supports everyday wear without shifting the silhouette’s lifestyle intent.

The New Balance 991v2 “Elephant” releases January 2026 for $250 via NewBalance.com and select retailers.
