    FOAMIE & BUCKETS: season 1 episode 121. Yesterday we did the 5 MOST COMFORTABLE SNEAKERS RIGHT NOW and in that video we showed the New Balance 990 v4 and we got a bunch of questions about them, so we decided to show them separately because it is a criminally underrated sneaker and probably the most underrated sneaker in my entire sneaker collection!

      Hands down the most slept on shoe of 2018 is a REEBOK !
      The "Float Ride 6000" or FL6000 is the only shoe I have found that holds a candle to BOOST comfort wise ...The knit is amazing .And the shoe is absolutely fether light! Do youreself a favor and try a pair out!

    New Balance as a brand is underrated. Their made in the US sneakers embody craftsmanship and comfort.
    I think the 1400 is probably their most slept on silhouette. 998s and 997 are dope too and have gained some notoriety through great collabs, deservedly so.
    Also don’t sleep on the NBs that are made in the UK, they are also very good.

    I am a huge adidas originals fan. I love their aesthetic and have recently been into ultraboosts more and more. I even have a couple pairs of Mephistos, which are notoriously comfortable and of high quality. BUT! No other shoe brand gives you the quality and comfort New Balance does for what they charge. New Balance also specializes in orthotics as well as sneakers. They are a full on shoe and walking/running company and they don’t stray from that. I have tons of sneakers that I’ve accumulated over the years and wear my grey or navy 990s at least twice a week. My favorite all time sneaker. Thanks for your video!

    I have a couple of pairs of New Balance sneakers: a pair of 990s and a pair of 574s. I rock them both and I have gotten compliments on both. The great thing about sneakers is not the hype, but when you find a pair that genuinely moves you. Don’t get me wrong, I own my fair share of hyped shoes, but I purchased them because I liked them and wanted to wear them. Every sneaker lover should at least try a pair of New Balance. Wearing, affordable and well made.

    Best trainer ever is the New Balance 993, had mine about 8 years and worn them to death, the most comfy and long lasting trainers, Nike and adidas never last as long! and by the way, all shoes are hand made as humans operate the machines to make them, hand made mean no machines used to manufacture them, unless you buy a pair of bespoke shoes from a traditional shoe maker, costing in the thousands of £. and it does not matter what country manufactures them including china, as a lot of top end designer brands use factories in china etc but set high quality control stanards.

    What is your favorite new balance model?
    Also the most underrated sneakers I own are probably New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz’s or Nike Roshe One’s which aren’t really thought about as often as they used to be. Both of the above mentioned shoes are cozy boys in my opinion and underrated.

    I late watching this video but I literally told my coworker today that we (DMV) put New Balance on. Great video as usual

    Honestly I hate to say it nb 1500 and 1600 imo are very under the radar and sane for most nb and runners its almost a crime is feel. I recently copped some daytona feigs for 65 shipped with box and then last few months its been this way finding gems left and right for steals ..
