New Balance 991v2 "City Edition" Collection | Sneaker Freaker

New Balance is commemorating the heritage of the renowned 991 with a new interpretation, continuing to innovate with the revamped New Balance 991v2 “City Edition” pack.

The original New Balance 991 has been a cornerstone in the sneaker community, appreciated for its fusion of fashion and functionality.

Revered for its top-notch materials and revolutionary ABZORB cushioning, the 991 swiftly gained favor among sneaker aficionados and everyday wearers alike. Its distinctive aesthetics and dependable comfort have solidified its position in New Balance’s esteemed collection.

The most recent launch pays homage to the storied legacy of the 991, a figure that initially grabbed attention in the early 2000s with its sleek aesthetics and comfort.

Furthermore, the lineup shines a spotlight on prominent cities around the globe that have paid tribute to the New Balance heritage and played a pivotal role in sneaker culture over the years.

Introducing the 991v2, a contemporary reimagination that upholds the legacy of its forerunner while introducing modern enhancements. This version preserves the essence of the original with a recognizable silhouette but incorporates state-of-the-art materials and design aspects that enrich both style and utility.

The “City Edition” range advocates for this evolution, showcasing distinctive color schemes inspired by global metropolises, each narrating its own tale through lively shades and premium textures: Paris (green), Tokyo (pink), Baltimore (blue), Greater China (red), and South Korea & Melbourne (yellow).

The 991v2 retains the quintessential ABZORB cushioning, ensuring the same level of coziness that made the 991 a timeless piece. However, it elevates the game with revamped construction and an appearance that appeals to contemporary sneaker enthusiasts.

New Balance’s distinct quality is the heart of the shoe, much like its forerunner, from the high-grade suede and mesh upper to the engineered sole with precision.

Through the “City Exclusive” collection, New Balance extols the heritage of the 991 while honoring significant figures in the sneaker sector.

The New Balance 991v2 “City Edition” collection will be available at select retailers throughout August.

Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”
jordan-tatum-3-zen-fz6598-001-release-date-3jpg
The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.
After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.
The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.
While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.
As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.
For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation
This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.
Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.
In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.
Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
