New Balance continues to align itself closely with the London Marathon, and the connection doesn’t go unnoticed with this special-edition 991v2. As one of the race’s major sponsors, the brand wanted to do more than dress runners for the big day. Instead, New Balance crafted a Made in UK release that fully represents the spirit of one of the largest races on the calendar.
The New Balance 991v2 “London Marathon” sports a bold combination of teal green, aqua blue, and neon pink. Suede overlays are used to ground the pair in the high-end aesthetic the 991v2 is known for, but instead of the standard mesh underlays, NB went another direction. Thicker synthetic material was used on the toe box and side panels of the shoe, utilizing a crosshatch pattern that helps it feel more technical than your average inline offering.
Neon pink branding brings the loudest contrast on the sneaker. The outlined “N” logo on the side panels stands out immediately, while matching pink New Balance branding lands on the tongue. LDN detailing at the lateral heel gives the marathon theme a direct nod, and the insoles continue that story with London Marathon branding printed in bright pink.
The result is one of the more interesting 991v2 colorways tied to a major event this year. It keeps the familiar Made in UK quality intact, but the material swap and marathon-specific details help it feel more purposeful than a simple themed edition.
The New Balance 991v2 “London Marathon” is currently listed to release on April 23, 2026 through New Balance UK.
