It might feel like we're getting towards the end of Summer, but rest assured it is still early August and there's plenty of fun in the sun left to be had. New Balance didn't get that memo, though, and some newly dropped photos of a new Made In UK 991v2 have us ready for flannel and cider.
Dropping sometime before the year is out, the Caramel Cafe Made In UK 991v2 is laced in premium caramel suede with light brown mesh throughout, and cream leather details on the toebox. The midsole transitions from a light brown shade in the back to white towards the front of the shoe, with golden ABZORB SBS pods providing the only bit of subtle color.
New Balance's Made In UK program is based out of the company's factory in Flimby, England, with a reputation for premium materials and handmade craftsmanship, and the Caramel Cafe 991v2s certainly fit the bill.
The past few Made in UK 991v2 releases showed up in summer-ready shades of Grape Sorbet and Pink Mauve, but with colder weather quick on the horizon, the New Balance team across the pond is ready to prep us for jacket season.
The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK Caramel Cafe doesn't have a release date yet, but expect it to release through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store before the end of the year for a price of $250.
