This was the first collab on the 991v2 model & was also the design that rolled out the 991v2 model. These came out last year & were pretty tough to get.tbh. I ended up grabbing my pair via resell shortly after the release when shipped pairs started rolling in. I feel like NB picked a great pair to help launch the 991v2 model & this pair is still one of my favorite v2's to release thus far.

Materials: Starting with the mesh, it has a diamond pattern that is split in half forming 2 triangles and runs t/o the entire upper in a dark 🫒 shade. As for the paneling, wrapping around the toe box & on the midfoot, is a soft, black nubuck with a slight hue of green sprinkled in. Also found on the midfoot is a 3M N logo in that same black olive shade. Moving to the back heel, there's a rubbery (I think it's a rough sueded) panel w/ a ⭕ cutout with 991 branding & behind that is an embroidered upside-down triangle with a V2 logo inside it. Jumping to the bottom of the tongue is a 3M hit, followed by some more mesh & half-way thru is a NB logo on an olive patch that finishes off with a Stone Island patch at the top of the tongue. Moving to the sockliner, it has an olive green kevlar aesthetic (not literally), but it feels pretty comfy & soft on foot. && lastly, branding... on the insole you'll find a SI 🧭 & also beneath the clear outsole, is the last SI 🧭 logo Overall, these look very subtle at first, but the more you look at them, you can tell they really went all out and made a pretty awesome design.

Comfort/Sizing: the 991v2 is a more comfortable design than the it's predecessor due to the added fuel cell technology & slightly more toe room added into the design. This makes it a squishy & lightweight pair that's an easy option to choose for long days on your feet. As for sizing, I bought these in my tts (us8) & they honestly fit me perfectly.

Overall Opinion: w/ the upcoming launch of the new CWs of SI 991v2, I wanted to bring these back up for a review. This colorway is definitely one of my favorite designs by SI & I'm looking forward to more of their designs, just hoping the launch goes smooth 🙏🤞
