Made in UK 991v2 Sneakers - Blue - Trainers - UK 8.5

While the ABZORB midsole offers excellent cushioning, the 991v2 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than competitive marathon running. For dedicated marathon training, specialized running shoes are recommended.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then allow to air dry and brush again.

'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, indicating a commitment to premium craftsmanship and quality materials.

The reflective details are most prominent and effective in low-light conditions or when directly illuminated by a light source. They are subtle and do not significantly alter the appearance during normal daylight.

While the shoes offer some protection, the suede material is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discoloration. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

The 991v2 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide for the best fit.

The 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway is inspired by the elemental contrast of fire and water, featuring a deep blue mesh upper overlaid with a glowing shade of pure blue.

This is normal for new footwear with premium materials. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

The ABZORB midsole is designed for longevity, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure proper care and consider rotating with other footwear.

Replace laces with a similar style and length. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard trainer laces of the appropriate size will suffice.
