The New Balance 991v2 Heads to the Beach With A “Cuban Sand” Colorway

by

As a seasoned gamer and sneakerhead who has braved the cold and rain of the British countryside to attend various cons and events, I can appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into each pair of New Balance MADE in UK shoes. However, as someone who prefers sunny beaches and warm weather over the foggy landscapes of Flimby, the “Cuban Sand” 991v2 has caught my eye.

The sandy tan suede and mesh upper evoke memories of long, carefree days on the beach, while the grey branded hits add a touch of sophistication that I find appealing. The two-tone midsole with a murky heel clip is a nice touch, adding depth to the overall design. Plus, the full-length FuelCell cushioning promises a comfortable ride for those long days exploring sandy shores.

Although the price tag of $250 USD (or $215.15 USD on Shoe Chapter) may seem steep for some, I believe that the quality and attention to detail in these shoes make them worth every penny. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a pair of shoes that will make their fellow beachgoers green with envy?

One thing that strikes me as odd is the fact that New Balance chose to name this shoe “Cuban Sand” despite the current political tensions between Cuba and the UK. I guess they’re banking on the fact that no one will notice or care once they slip these beauties onto their feet and hit the sand.

Overall, the “Cuban Sand” 991v2 is a must-have for any sneakerhead looking to add a touch of beachy cool to their collection, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair!

New Balance manufactures its UK-made items in the coastal village of Flimby, which is currently experiencing a rainy and foggy period on the western coast of the United Kingdom. Despite this, their latest creation from the Flimby factory is designed for sunny days and sandy beaches – a color scheme of the 991v2 they’ve named “Cuban Sand.

From its name alone, the “Cuban Sand” sneaker boasts an upper made of both tan suede and mesh, giving it a sandy hue. Grey branding and other details give it a stylish flair and a hint of Flimby winter feel. The two-tone midsole with a dark heel clip completes the overall look. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice a blue strip wrapping around the outsole, suggesting the presence of full-length FuelCell cushioning within its sole.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of streetwear fashion, I’ve just discovered an exciting twist on the iconic 991v2, a blend of New Balance’s legendary 991 and 992 models, now up for grabs at retailers like Shoe Chapter. Being based in Denmark, their website displays the price as approximately $215 USD, which is quite a steal considering that the usual retail price of the New Balance 991v2 hovers around $250 USD.
