Updated 21/9/23: Having given us a first glimpse at the upcoming Stone Island x New Balance 991v2 just a few days ago, Stone Island has taken to IG to share a first proper look at the new silhouette. Arriving in a mixed material construction of techy engineered mesh, coated texturised leather and soft pigskin suede, the sneaker comes doused in black, dark grey and olive tones. Blending together elements from the 991 and 992, the pair comes equipped with tonal sole units, grey laces, and a myriad of branding hits, as well as reflective accents that further reference the pair's industrial theme.

If you're looking to get your hands on a pair, its worth knowing that they're expected to start hitting Stone Island stores from the 4th of October. As it stands, New Balance is still yet to confirm its own release. In the meantime, you can set your release reminder below to be the first to know if they do drop at NB.

Original Article: After dropping a 577 back in 2013, and then reverting to an abundance of technical running silhouettes over the past couple of years, New Balance and Stone Island fans were finally treated to a lifestyle model again late last year, as the duo dropped a 574. Now, both brands are looking to recapture that same success, as they’ve just revealed the upcoming

Introducing a brand-new take on NB’s classic 991, the Stone Island 991v2 retains the silhouette’s Made in UK heritage, as it comes built in the Boston-born brand’s Flimby factory in the north of England. Given that the collaborative partnership is now celebrating its 10th anniversary, it only seems fair that Stoney has been entrusted to put its stamp on a new version, as the brand’s penchant for technical fabrics and attention to detail makes it the perfect partner to bring the classic 991 into the modern age.

That being said, images of the pair are very few and far between right now, so it’s hard to know exactly what to expect. Official promo images shared by both New Balance and Stone Island give us a glimpse at the shoe’s outsole details, coming stamped by Stone Island branding, but offering no further hints towards what the silhouette might look like. Similarly, an image shared on Instagram by Dane3fune reveals that the pair will come with tactical-looking netted mesh and canvas tongues, complete with the Italian outfitter’s compass logo on the tongue tabs.

From what we have seen so far, this pair is shaping up to be even better than the 574, and that pair sold out instantly.
