    When I got into sneakers a year ago, I thought NB was lame as a brand, but now that I can appreciate aspects of a shoe such as paneling and quality, I have a much greater appreciation for the overall aesthetic now... might cop some 997 sports in a different colorway

      Ben Flis it might interest you that some are made in the US.

      100% agree. I was the same way and I used to blow off everything NB did. But then I started to appreciate the quality. Just compare any decent 997 to something like an Air Max 1 and you'll know what I'm talking about.

      Ben Flis some of their models aren’t for everyone. The 997 imo is the best and it’s sleek And the quality is the best

      Everyone thought that lol specially when you’re in school you think only old people wear them

    Can never go wrong with a grey pair of NB’s

  • @kenken_77

    if only the suede on Nikes were half as good as those on NB's - that heel area looked absolutely amazing!

      Kenneth Wong Yup no doubt

    Just amazing quality of materials and construction: especially impressed by the smoothness of the suede toeguard cut: beautifully rounded edges. New Balance really deserves to be on more people's radar, if only to force Nike to lift their game with materials.

    When Encap was first introduced in the early eighties, they had to have a simple description for it, hence they called it a motion control device. This is simply a nickname for Encap, which is a stabilizing agent for every stride. Love your content brother. I do sneakers too and look to you for inspiration.

    @TheMagmaV Před 5 lety +2

    copped the 997s grey day gotta say its my current favourite pair right now they deliver comfort,quality materials, style and the encap/abzorb outsole looks amazing on foot btw these have a separate tongue compared to the other 997s colorways wich for me is more aesthetic and comfortable.

  • @mugikotobuki69
    @mugikotobuki69 Před 5 lety +9

    Awesome review, convinced me to cop them on the NB website just now. Beginning to love and cop more NBs for their awesome looks and quality compared to Nike and Adidas haha. Cheers!

    • @SeanGo
      @SeanGo  Před 5 lety +1

      Andrew H Enjoy them!

  • @jefsparkfdivinityfnewyork2575

    Great video, great breakdown, I picked up the 997h black / green very comfortable sneakers.

  • @vlboost
    @vlboost Před 5 lety

    Great video bro. I ordered a pair last night and couldn’t find ANY videos on them and I come across this! Great quality and informative video! Thanks

  • @whizkid0328
    @whizkid0328 Před 5 lety +6

    Finally a separate tongue. Tried the GR 997S and they are tight around the mid part. Wide feet problems

  • @jiamingyan7901
    @jiamingyan7901 Před 5 lety +3

    look at that thick rubber outsole!!! Durable and quality

  • @alexmathewmendoza
    @alexmathewmendoza Před 5 lety +2

    Very clean. NB is always high quality and they go with everything.

  • @fifibao8895
    @fifibao8895 Před 4 lety +1

    This shoe was sold out very quickly when it was initially released. I called the NB customer service and asked when NB would restock it and I didn't get an clear answer. Today I suddenly found it on the NB website again so I immediately placed the order.

  • @orlandoramirezgarcia44

    This silhouette is sick i love the "baited" colorway

  • @Rekickit
    @Rekickit Před 4 lety +1

    I’m not a sneaker head and I just came across these and can’t seem to find em anywhere. Is this one of those hype things where stock disappears instantly? If so how do I stay on top of it. Damn I don’t want to be into hype but hate not being able to cop now

    • @SeanGo
      @SeanGo  Před 4 lety

      These weren't THAT hyped but they dropped a while ago and are probably sold out everywhere.

  • @remeo55
    @remeo55 Před 3 lety

    Their best looking shoe in my opinion! Just ordered a pair

  • @ClassicalProtestant
    @ClassicalProtestant Před 4 lety

    Seriously...been doing this sneaker thing since 1992 and it’s super rare id co-sign a hybrid of a classic but these M997 is fire 🔥🇺🇸

  • @nerdbamarich2063

  • @jrjrlandells1460
    @jrjrlandells1460 Před 5 lety

    I just bought the "fun guy" and "board man gets paid" shirts. Need some NB's in the collection to rock them with. Liking the 997 model but I need a better colorway. Thanks for the review!

  • @jeremyeel6272
    @jeremyeel6272 Před 5 lety

    I believe the Motion Control Device is the heel clip to lock in the heel, from their retro models

  • @jayflow3795
    @jayflow3795 Před 5 lety

    Wow! I love how that 998 Sport looks. Great colorway!

    • @goynwa7110
      @goynwa7110 Před 3 lety +1

      Best new balance imo but you’re wrong everyone has a different taste just cause you don’t like them doesn’t mean you don’t have style, everyone is different

    Hey Sean, are these true to size? I usually wear a size 10 and sometimes 9.5. I just copped these in 9.5 and I'm freaking out they might not be comfortable. They cost a pretty penny too

  • @austinbayardo3676

    Do people watch for the music in the background? After a few minutes of the short repeating track, I found I was getting annoyed. Free music is worthless? Low quality? Amateur?
