The VK Design Works x New Balance 991v2 is a Made in UK sneaker collaboration that reimagines the 991v2 silhouette through designer Verdy’s creative lens. Unveiled at Verdy’s Gift Shop pop-up in London’s Dover Street Market, this take on the classic model combines off-white mesh with chocolate brown suede and leather overlays, while blue ABZORB SBS pods in the midsole nod to New Balance’s heritage of comfort and performance.
Set to release exclusively at the DSM London pop-up, the sneaker features subtle yet considered details. Branding includes “DSM” on the tongue and a VK logo on the lace keeper, creating a balance between streetwear appeal and refined design. The overall aesthetic is versatile and understated, offering a contemporary twist on a heritage silhouette that blends craftsmanship, function, and style in equal measure.
