After Wearing New Balance 990 V5 Review Pros / Cons Review
Pros
COMFY
Wife Feet Friendly!
Mega Dad vibes ouside the trend
great update to an already great shoe
no hype = easy to buy
great for lifestyle wear and athleasure.
Made in USA.
Cons
looks very similar to the v4 to the untrained eye.
v4 prices are much better now and probably a better place to start than the V5 if its your first pair.
lack of collabs, influencers, and promotion to products.
when will NBs be cool again?
Price is $170
Final Thoughts? great shoe for wide feet! a bit pricey for an older looking sneaker but it is made in USA. 990 v4s might be a better options for the price, but these look nice and are much better on feet than expected.

The 990 is a traditionalist shoe built on a New Balance SL-1 shoe last which is designed primarily for stability. Cushioning being secondary, although executed perfectly. The addition of the plastic ankle collar helps to assist in the prevention of over pronation of the foot. The shoe is a technical design which happens to be fashionable to some. Hands down, NB out performs all others in this segment... Just Sayin' 😁😁

Hes some things to note: 1. The made in the USA isn't just alluding to where the shoe is made: a large percentage of the manufacturing of these shoes is done by an actual person, and not mostly by machines alone. This is why the quality on them is fantastic and you don't see too many QC issues. Seriously, KZfaq a video on how these are made. The price is actually justifiable when compared to Jordan retros with glue stains out the ass. $175 is definitely worth it over whatever Nike/Jordan sweatshop workers produce. 2. I could be wrong about this, but I believe only the V5 has that crazy Ortholite insole that helps with that great comfort. 3. Come on Hes. It’s a launch colorway. Nobody bats an eye when a new Jordan model comes out and......surprise! Black and red colorway 🤔 Loved the vid, don't get me wrong. I just think these deserve way more of a break on the price/colorway con when compared to Jordan Retro's/Air Maxes.

They are great shoes. They are not necessarily great runners per say as there are more performance driven ones. One of the best shoes for the money imo. The guy in the video sounds like a teenager when he talks about shoes and clearly doesn't use them to exercise. So who knows and who cares.

You all will one day understand the 990's if you buy them. They don't just simply change how you look, they change how you feel. Your shoes are very important to your feet, knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, neck, and mindset in life. I was blessed to be given a pair as a child (edit: v1). Got my V5 (on screen) for $159, still look brand new! Best shoes! Hands down. 13 wide.

@Martin.Christopher 5 жыл бұрын

First of all, love the vids so no hate, but I find some of the cons to be odd... To be fair they do a lot of collabs and exclusives. The Bodega 997 that just released was mega hyped, but over the last while they have worked with Kith, Comme des Garcons, END., and Todd Snyder (That's just off the top of my head.) And the price point.. they seem expensive for a low key looking shoe, but when you look at it objectively they are made in the US from premium materials (as you mentioned) so naturally they will be a higher price point... people pay the same price if not $30-50 more for Jordan retros made overseas with inferior materials and quality control. So I get the "price" as a con if that's applied to pretty much every shoe $150+ Just my 2 cents. Much love, glad you featured them.

@wuwuisaac 5 жыл бұрын

theMurDuck their collaborations were more for the niche consumers that follows the “Japanese-American style” trend, not for the mass market tho. I think what they should really do is to keep the classics who they are, no need for any collaborations, instead do collabs with the newer models such as the 247 and the 574 sport.

@speedwolf5212 5 жыл бұрын

Isaac Wu no collaborations are for mass markets, especially with the niche brands mentioned. As for models- it varies per collab but historically speaking, the other partner generally will pick which model they want to design, not the shoe company.

GhostDiver sorry I meant the style. Using a more “popular” model to collab, because what you do is that you want to get hype, and to raise brand awareness, I understand you probably don’t make money out of them.

I recently purchased this pair of shoe in grey and got them precisely because they are pragmatic instead of purely fashion centric. These are in my running rotation so I use it for the activity it is actually designed for and can’t begin to explain how well they support my feet. The only other shoe to sufficiently provide this kind of support are my Brooks Ghost V 8 shoes. I bought these shoes precisely because I don’t have to compete with sneaker heads and skeavy resellers.

If you buy overpronating NB these may over correct the inward roll too much and cause a different problem in your knees ......(NB also come underpronating as well which will make your problem worse by making the ankles roll inward even more!!!!! Most Nike shoes are underpronating some are neutral)

Love these shoes! They're more firm with decent squish but you get all day comfort without foot fatigue.

I could walk 6 hours and have no pain from these!

They have very little support, especially the soles. If they did not have the New Balance name on them they would be a $60.00 shoe.The 990 is worth every penny if you like comfort and support...and they will last for a long time.

Price is high, I agree. Back in 2003 when I first started buying 990s the price was $99.00 and they had more US made parts then they do today. If we check this price with a simple inflation calculator, the shoe should be retailing around $129.99. But since I appreciate USA made stuff, I prefer buying this USA made shoe over a Nike ZoomX which retails for the same price as this shoe and is made in Asia.

Most people say (and I agree) that your feet will start to hurt a bit from the lack of support of boost and react if you're on your feet for too long. These you can legit wear all day and your feet will feel great. I haven't tried the v5s yet, but i have the v4 and they're supposed to be very similar.

Who cares if new balance isn't in? I've been wearing them since I was like 7 years olds. They look pretty nice, I wish I could afford to buy made in the USA but I only make $11/hr (in the USA lol), or I totally would.

Yeah I have no idea what this dude is talking about. New balance is known for their insanely high quality collaborations with concepts, kith, todd snyder etc. Also lol at him saying he wants to see more colorways of the shoe. Bro it JUST officially released. It's normal for them to release the standard gray pair first. It's almost like he has has never heard new balance in his life.

NB are great shoes, they knock Nike 270's, VaporMax, right out of the park because these Nikes are too firm on the rebound. Forget all the hype about these two. If you want an excellent shoe with great shock absorption go with NB. I will definitely cop a pair of these v5. Glad to see that there are being made in the USA again......the Chinese made ones in the last few years were too narrow.....a wide width fit like medium etc. Thank God NB wised up, I would gladly pay U$175 for a quality shoe when I get what I pay for. Thanks NB, keep up the quality standard!!!!

I'm from the D.M.V area where we ABSOLUTELY cherish and embrace New Balance and are and am NB BIGGEST consumers. Washington D.c defentley made NB along with Adidas besides New York ofcourse l0l and foamposite popular bk in the 80's whn only drug dealears could only afford dem and made them a status symbol. I own all 3 colorways but my fav would have 2 be the classic cool grey colorway especially during this tyme of year in the spring/summer. I remember whn my mom bought me and my lil brother are first pair of 574's bk in my freshman year of high skool whn the 574 price point on the market whn u could purchase 2 pairs for $90. NB are my 2 or 3 fav shoe of ALL Tyme besides the air max 1 and Air Jordan 5. I love the fact that New Balance brand are manufactured in the U.S.A I dont know why alot of ppl complain about the price point witch I do agree is very expensive especially for a dad shoe but take this in consideration We pay that 4 A pair of Air Max Or Foamposite and Air jordan that's manufactured overseas in China for about kno more than $5.

990v5 Black are easier to keep clean. They stay looking good longer. Gray looks great when new, but starts showing the wear faster than the black. Great looking shoes in either color but the gray will need more care and attention. Both colors go with everything.

i wonder how you could miss pointing out that the sole pattern is much improved over the v4 which tended to wear down more rapidly and was inferior to the v5 relating to traction.
