  • Today I'm taking a quick look at the New Balance 992 GR, a sneaker that has re-released the first time since 2006. Amongst New Balance fans this already is a true classic and now with the Dad Shoe trend definitely has seen a wider fanbase. In this video I'm going quickly over materials and craftsmanship as well as sizing info, fit and also giving you an on feet. If you want to find out all the details then make sure to watch the whole video until the end!
    Just one thing mentioned in advance: these are mad comfy!

    I'm amazed by how professional and informative your reviews are becoming not to mention about the quality of the videos themselves! You should definitely be in advertisement somewhere as watching your vids makes me wanna buy all the shoes you're showing! Which I get completely the opposite feeling when I see other sneaker-reviewers…

    Hey, good review. The plastic on the rear to which you referred, on one side, is to help the wearer retain stability when running or walking. Often, people suffer from over-pronation, meaning; when they plant their feet, they tend to rotate inwards. By firming up the inside of the heel, and leaving the outside cushioned, when “over-pronators” plant their feet, the trainers aim to level the foot in anticipation for bearing the weight of your body, to straighten the foot and ankle, which has an effect higher up your leg by creating good alignment. Purported to prevent injury and help with injury recovery. Not everyone requires this as some people are neutral runners.
    ASICS are into this technology in a big way. Therefore, their website explains it in full.
    I hope that helps. Take care.

      Anything ultra boost (not NMD, those are stiff) or Nike React midsole should work for you. My vote goes to React though as they don't bottom out as easily as Boost. Spiridon midsole is also very comfy, or Asics Gel Kayano 5 (360), Asics Gel 1090

      @HighlyAkicktive  Před 4 lety

      Damn, I didn't respond to this, did I? Sorry about that! No I wouldn't recommend ironing the v5, I don't actually see a reason to. With quality suede you can only work on it for a brief moment, nothing I'd really recommend. Especially if you haven't done it before. If you have an old beat up pair where you can try on you can do that. But still, I wouldn't reshape the v5.

    • @HighlyAkicktive
      @HighlyAkicktive  Před 4 lety

      I don't think it will be stiffer because you weigh less. Softness level should be the same for almost all weights because it keeps its density. Just more weight will compress the midsole more and it will shorten the lifespan

      I sized down in the 992 compared to the 990v5. To me the US 12 of the 992 fits almost the same as the 990v4. The v5 is indeed a little longer than the v4 but I tried sizing down and it was way too snug. Funny how the half steps differ so much in the v5

      Highly Akicktive lol that’s so annoying on the half sizes. I returned my US 10 v5 kuz it was a bit long and I feel they looked big on my foot, I’m 5’7” smh lol.

    • @HighlyAkicktive
      @HighlyAkicktive  Před 4 lety +1

      wow that's really hard, many shoes are really close to each other in terms of comfort. I would probably go with the Asics Gel Saga II (so the first one that was generally known as the Saga) and the Diadora N9000 on tie with the New Balance 998. Reason: because you can just throw them on any day and they feel right. Great cusioning, not bulky, relatively light and you don't feel them bothering throughout the whole day.

      @HighlyAkicktive  Před 4 lety +1

      @@Funk11147 the Gel Saga (2) was available mainly from around 2013-2016, you can find some older pairs on eBay. IMO it's better than the current Saga, the midsole is just far more superior. Also the outsole lasts forever, one of the most rugged sneakers I know. I'm going tts in the Saga, many people size down but if you have a wider foot it is probably too narrow. The Made in Italy N9000 is definitely worth it. The Italy GRs end up for a steal on eBay, for whatever reason but the quality is just as amazing as the collabs. The collabs usually run a half size big, the Asia and Italy GRs tts. But some of the newer collabs are also a little smaller or in between sizes, so you should size up in them. In my experience / to my knowledge these N9000 run tts: 24 KTS Copito, Patta 9, High Snobiety Bluebird, Diadora Talk Mix. LC23 Oxford is also inbetween, wide foot should size up.

      comfort is about the same, the one thing I like more about the 992 is the fact that you're walking more silently in them. Whenever your heel impacts in the 990v5 it makes a slight "tock" sound, the 992 is almost silent. I just like silent sneakers :) And the 992 feels slimmer and more natural, if that makes any sense.
