Up There x New Balance 991v2 - A Lesson in Patience - Review, Sizing and Thoughts

UP THERE and New Balance are back in sync, levelling up their partnership with their most ambitious project yet: the New Balance 991v2 by UP THERE. This one isn’t just a colourway – it’s a time capsule. Drawing directly from the ‘golden era’ of early-2000s sneaker collecting, the pair taps into a moment when forums, blogs and dial-up message boards stitched together a global community obsessed with grey mesh and Made in England craftsmanship. Working side-by-side with New Balance designer Sam Pearce, UP THERE have retooled the modernised 991v2 with materials that feel instantly archival but unmistakably upgraded. Technical mesh sits beneath full-grain leather overlays, while a carbon-effect leather saddle brings a sharp, engineered edge to the silhouette. Underfoot, translucent SBS pods and a matching heel cap update the familiar ABZORB cushioning package, anchored by a timeless gum outsole.
