If your rotation is feeling too flashy, let thisisneverthat and New Balance tone it down—in the best way. Their newest tag-team project, the thisisneverthat New Balance 991v2, is here to serve cool, calm, and collected.

Dressed in stealthy greys and earthy olive tones, this 991v2 brings all the vibes of a tactical mission—minus the combat boots. Suede overlays, mesh panels, and that sweet Made in UK craftsmanship keep it premium without screaming for attention. Oh, and the “TNT” branding on the heel? That’s not a threat, it’s a flex.

This isn’t their first rodeo either. The Seoul-based streetwear squad has tackled the 997, 550, 2002R, and more. But this one? Easily their most elevated (and most expensive) drop yet. At $250, it’s luxury for the low-key sneakerhead who values quality, not clout.

The thisisneverthat x New Balance 991v2 launches May 8, 2025 via thisisneverthat’s site followed by a wider release on May 9th at select retailers and NewBalance.com.

If muted tones, killer build, and solid storytelling sound like your thing—don’t sleep. These New Balance UK sneakers are built for those who move quietly… but style loudly.
