Korean streetwear brand thisisneverthat has a rich history of collaborating with New Balance since 2019, consistently delivering unique sneaker designs annually. Their latest release, the 991v2, showcases a refined all-grey palette, blending warm and cool shades to enhance the classic silhouette. The model features a mesh base in a warm grey complemented by leather and suede overlays that bring a cooler, cement-like aesthetic. This approach adds depth to the design, with darker hues on the tongues and ‘N’ logos. Previously, thisisneverthat and New Balance collaborated on a vibrant red and white version of the New Balance 1000 earlier this year, which set high expectations for their subsequent releases. Anticipation builds as sneakerheads await the expected Summer 2025 launch of this stylish yet understated design, typical of thisisneverthat’s aim to fuse global inspirations with their Korean roots.
