Jeweler Bleue Burnham Brings Another New Balance 991v1 to Its New Balance Made in UK Collab

London-based jeweler Bleue Burnham has been busy in the countryside town of Flimby. Taking a break from bracelets and necklaces to dip its toe in the sneaker industry, the brand took on a new challenge with the design of a brand-new garden on the grounds of New Balance’s Made in UK factory, bringing native plants and peaceful serenity for employees to enjoy. Beyond the garden, the jeweler also went inside the factory to put its spin on the 991v1.

Bleue Burnham Goes Black

The Bleue Burnham x New Balance 991v1 Made in UK Pack debuted with a brown leather pair, taking after the dirt in the newly dug garden. On a newly seen second colorway, Bleue remade the 991v1 in black leather with the same bright multi-color stitching that covers the upper of the brown pair.

Featuring soft, plush black leather across the entire upper like a classic dad shoe, the collab adds a Blue Burnham logo to the tongue in the brand’s logo blue, with more blue on the stitching around the “N” and the 991 hit on the heel. The rest of the upper brings stitching in green, pink, yellow, orange, and more.

Bleue Burnham x New Balance 991v1 Made in UK Black Details

The Bleue Burnham x New Balance 991v1 Made in UK Black will be released December 2026 through Bleue Burnham. Just like the first collab, the black leather colorway is limited to 240 pairs. To keep up with all the latest New Balance collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
