The UP THERE x 991v2
The UP THERE x New Balance 991v2 is a sophisticated homage to the "golden era" of early-2000s sneaker collecting. Co-designed with New Balance designer Sam Pearce, this Made in UK masterpiece blends British retro-tech with Australian identity, creating a "time capsule" silhouette that feels both archival and cutting-edge.
Why It Stands Out (The Details)
Technical Material Story: The upper is a complex layering of high-tenacity performance mesh and buttery full-grain leather overlays. A standout carbon-effect leather saddle provides an engineered, automotive edge to the midfoot.
"Down Under" Customization: Features subtle Australian nods, including "+61" (Australia’s country code) embroidered on the heel and an upside-down "Made in England" tongue label—a playful tribute to UP THERE’s home in the Southern Hemisphere.
Full-Length FuelCell Cushioning: This v2 update evolves the 991 platform with a full-length FuelCell midsole, offering significantly more energy return and propulsive comfort than its predecessor.
ABZORB SBS & ENCAP Integration: Retains the iconic semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods and an ENCAP rim for superior lateral stability and impact protection.
High-Visibility Accents: Signature UP THERE green hits appear on the insole, heel, and outsole, complemented by extensive reflective 3M panels that bring the shoe to life in low-light environments.
Classic Gum Outsole: Grounded by a timeless gum rubber outsole, providing a rugged, lifestyle-ready finish to the technical upper.

3. Best For:
Heritage Purists: Ideal for collectors who appreciate Flimby craftsmanship paired with thoughtful, non-gimmicky collaborative storytelling.
