Grey NB!🔥
Great review dude!
Glad you enjoyed it!
v4s are goated
It’s pretty insane that a sneakerhead’s favorite shoe of all time is the 990. 10 years ago nobody (not even NB fans) cared about them, to the point where you might be made fun of in school.
For some context, the 576, 577, 580, 997, 998, 999, 1300 and 1500 were considered cool back in the day. The Kennedy 999 is still probably the goat NB.
I remember when I first started wearing a 990 in my junior year of high school everyone dogged on me but I never let that stop me from wearing. They are just so comfortable and stylish. New balance started making colors and Teddy Santis really help put the 990 back on the map
Great take. I do struggle with grey suede. It gets darker in the back and next to first lace hole and I am not sure it’s due to decolorisarion or just dirty and need to scrub more. Still wonder;) cheers
Every pair I’ve had it always darkens over time. It’s most likely just from dirt and extended wear. I’ll have to try and find a way to revive that beautiful light grey suede
Curious why you opt for the school eraser over the suede eraser?
I wanted to use something that was super easy to find and cheap
The sound the bottle makes at 4:20 I’m dead man. Love your channel keep it up bro 🫡
Thanks I appreciate it!
Cleaning suede is always tough. If they caught a lot of sun they just get cooked, but I kinda like that faded look :)
The faded look is ideal. It adds character!
That water killed the suede and didn’t make it any cleaner than it looked after just the eraser
That’s what the mink oil is for. It will bring back the color and soften the hardened suede. I just didn’t have any at the moment
Nice vid, good tips. But instead of using a brush to un-harden the dry suede, you can use a small rounded nail filer. I use a round staple remover i took from an old job and it works so good to bring back the hairiness of the suede.
That's a great idea! I’ll have to do that next time
Nice been waiting for this my 990v6 orange sepia is dirty 😅
Take the shoelaces out first 😢
Thats a DOpe 990v4
I quite wanted to get these and took an L of course . However I got them in hand yesterday at Kith ( they had one pair of very small size left ) and frankly I was not impressed. No way I am paying resell for these …
Nice! 👍🔥💪
Great video bro!
Appreciate it!!
993 better for me. (for wide foot people don’t go half size down if you don’t want to buy another one)
idk if i’m the only one that has this happened to me but the translucent part on my 990’s turned into this greenish grey colour and i think it looks amazing
It happened to one pair of mine. I agree that it looks absolutely amazing
What got me started is my friend is from DC and he hipped me to the culture and how it’s been a shoe of the DC (DMV) for 4 decades … it’s even videos on it on here on CZcams and NB page made an ode to DC on their grey day roll out
The DMV started this whole nb streetwear life. The history there is truly remarkable
@@samdopkosky I want to get my hands on a few of them DMV exclusive/ collab pairs … they’re so rare smh
Just got my first pair of v6’s … only had them on for 30 minutes … I’m going back to get me a black pair … Nordstrom’s have them on sale now …
They are incredible.
@@samdopkosky facts 💯💯💯
Thanks for this comparison. I’ve worn the 990 v5 since it came out and had to buy the v6 when my NB store didn’t have the v5 in stock. The v6 was a nice shoe but after a few days I couldn’t wear them so I gave them away. Now I can’t find the v5 online in my size. This video has been very helpful and I will be trying the v4.
I’m glad the video helped! Sometimes it’s very hard to make the switch from the v5 to the v6- the stability on the v5 is just unmatched. If you love the v5 you’ll love the v4
get the carhartt V1s - those are the best in my opinion
If I get a v1 that’s absolutely the pair I’ll be getting
Jesus loves you
Just grabbed offer up 992 dtlr DC woooo baby

Long time subs here. Great vid always and I can see ur passion when u talking about NBs. Wondering if you use wooden shoe trees? if so, any recommendations?
Thanks for supporting me all this time, it means a lot. I don’t use any wooden shoe trees but I do use plastic ones. Any shoe tree does a great job at helping keep the shape of the shoe
Stock X has been known for selling lots of fake pairs of sneakers recently, even though they say they guarantee authenticity 😢
They have had issues in the past with that. It was more so for Jordan’s and other simple Nike shoes that are easy to replicate. You have absolutely no worries ordering from stockx and receiving a fake. No other company can replicate the quality of a new balance
what shoe display are you using in the background and are they sturdy and dust free?
I found them on amazon. If you type in shoe display shelves they should pop up. They aren't that sturdy, they tend to lean the more you stack them but they do a great job of keeping the dust out.
You going true to size with the 990v1 or half size down ? I heard both sides. Size down and some tts
For the 991v1 I would probably got true to size because they have a slanted midsole just like the 991v2 so it would be more comfortable to get tts that way my toes don't get squished in the front of the toe box
@@samdopkosky no the 990v1 not the 991v1 or v2. The 990v1 half size down or tts?
@@manny9025 my bad 🤣 I’m gonna go true to size in the 990v1
@@samdopkosky all good 😂 got you. Been wanting a pair of 990v1 as well but dont know if i should size down or tts. I got a couple pairs of 991v2s. They my favorite so far. My patta sea moss just came in today and man they look a whole lot better in person.
Do some videos on some other NB models... the 480, 580, 550, 650, the Rainier boots (Lou Whittaker climbed Mt. Everest wearing those)... the 1500, 577... seems like u do a lot of videos on the 99X line
A lot of the sneakers I love to collect are from the 99x line. In starting to branch out to other non made models so I will be reviewing shoes like the 480, 9060, and 550!
Some other places you could have added to the list, or maybe you want to do another video on it. Nordstrom Rack currently has a pair of gray 996s for about 70 bucks, I think, maybe less. Also, you mentioned those 1906 SSense collab, and you said it looks like a kiwi.. Look into the 992 low hanging fruit. It's an actual kiwi in storytelling. And they are criminally underpriced and underrated Concepts collab. By far, my favorite 992. It's the only new balance in the 99x category that's completely sued with no mesh. All hairy Suede.
I went to a Nordstrom rack a couple months ago and found a few 2002rs and a pair of 576s for very cheap. I will have to look at their online store now! I just checked out those 992s and I can not comprehend why they are so cheap. I might have to grab them. Such a cool pair on a perfect silhouette that is the 992
Wow. Americans really don’t know how to dress 😂
eBay has always been my best friend😂 UPDATE: I missed on the Medusa’s smh
eBay comes in so clutch😂 If you want them bad enough, I would consider buying them for resell. The prices are pretty good for a collab especially an action Bronson collab
@@samdopkosky Funny thing is I just copped 😂
@@TDClark happy for you🤣 enjoy them!!
V1 is very slept on by NB collectors
wouldn’t say they’re slept on. more so very expensive.
@@inTha803 true … I got mine as a gift. They’re great . I tell people “it’s a great shoe you just can’t compare it to it’s predecessors , the tech is more advanced these days” lol
Such a great video I never knew I needed, thanks!
eBay is goated for rare pairs at steals
Its actually insane the steals you can find
Such a great video! Kith is always my go to source for New Balances I got a chance to go to there stores in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills and can tell you they’re worth a visit. There newest sneaker for the opening of the Malibu store is 🔥. Thanks for making this list some other good places are DTLR, Packer, Shiekh, Coollicks and Shoe Palace.
I would love to someday make a trip to kith! I agree, those Malibu ones they dropped were amazing and for some reason went under the radar! Ill for sure check those stores out, thanks!
Appreciate the share mate! I get my New Balances from everywhere as well, mainly using Google to search who directs my to places like: BAE, BSTN, Spectrum (now mostly sold out but great steals) and footdistrict. I might need to start looking at ebay more to snag a sick pair of 992's!
Lapstone and Hammer is a good one too! They had a site wide 40% off sale recently for July 4th.
@usuck233 Thanks always looking to save some cheddar!
First :)
Im sorry but putting a handful of loud colors together that grabs the eye doesn't make them look good. glorified clown shoes propped up by a "look at me" society imo. Nike has many, MANY examples of this.
If theres a heaven, whoever is at the gate is rocking a Grey New Balance
This is my favorite comment of all time
I got mine about 5 days ago from EQL raffle and couldn’t be happier. I have less than 5 pairs of NB’s out of about 300 pair collection but these were immediately eye catching. They really stand out with cool design and coloring. These can be had for a great price even for resale right now. Don’t sleep if you didn’t get already! You made me nervous when showing the badge I was looking at the left shoe like you had on video and it wasn’t there but the badge was on the right shoe and just saw it on mine. These might be my favorite NB’s ever just going by looks. My favorite NB for comfort and to wear is the 990 V3 Teddy Santis sea salt. Appreciate the video and keep up good work!
300 pairs is insane! I would love to have that many someday lol. These are such a great sneaker, I am glad you copped!
Thanks for the review. I got a few but I shoulda sized up. Very tight for a NB. Will stretch over time. Love the color of these. More of a running active wear shoe for me vs. comfort. Rosewaters are great for chicks. I wouldnt wear. Something to satisfy everyont.
Never got a W on any Action Bronson release. 🤷 oh well, maybe the 992s (manifesting)
Compared 993 with 990v6: Which tongue sticks more out?
The 993 is a thicker tongue
The details are insane I wish more brands would collab with New Balance tho. The potential is sky high with the silhouettes
I really love that they are pushing this silhouette. We’ve gotta a kith 2 pack as well as the salhe bembury pairs earlier this year. Need some more
These will jump up later dont sleep
They already went up about $40 on stock x after they dropped today
@@samdopkosky uh oh buy now
i left my tag on the shoe cause it actually works great not too big
I have these on my feet now and the coolest thing is the way he used 2 types of 3m so they create the effect of the jellyfish when light moves on them sooo coool
I didn’t even realize it, that’s for sure the special feature
