The Palace x New Balance Made in UK 991 was launched exclusively on the Palace Skateboards website on May 12, 2023. For those who missed the first drop date, the shoes will be available globally on May 19, 2023, on the New Balance website. 

Given the hype surrounding the launch, the shoes will not come cheap for the average consumer. The suggested retail price is $260 for adult sizes. However, the rare shoes might be worth the investment for most online shoppers after they learn more about the model.
