New Balance has unveiled the 991v1 Made in U.K. 'Chipmunk,' a dad sneaker with creamy nubuck uppers in a tannish brown colorway. The design evokes a nutty aesthetic, complete with high-quality England-made details. The shoes are scheduled to launch on May 7.
New Balance's latest addition to its 991 lineup features a 'Chipmunk' colorway that resembles peanut butter, crafted from creamy nubuck leather. The sneakers include cream-colored breathable leather underlays and signature chunky soles, all made in the U.K. The brand describes the nut-flavored look as a nod to the animal's diet, blending playful styling with premium construction. No matching 'jelly' pair is planned, though other 991 variants like blue suede 'Limoges,' chocolatey dad shoes, and 'Potter's Clay' options have appeared this year. New Balance continues its strong push on the 991 model this season. The Made in U.K. 991v1 'Chipmunk' sneakers are scheduled to drop on New Balance's website and at select retailers on May 7 for $270.
