What does 'Made in UK' mean?

How do I maintain the grey colour?
Keep them out of direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use to prevent color fading and use a protective spray designed for suede.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Creasing at the toe box

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 991 v2 trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is essential. Since many models utilize suede and premium fabrics, avoid excessive exposure to water or mud. For light cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the original shape of the upper.
