I lost over 150 lbs while wearing a pair of v5's every day on walks. Still have that pair of Navy v5's that are worn down all the way thru the outsole. I'm currently destroying a pair of 2002R's while maintaining my fitness journey, walking, cycling and going to the gym 5 days a week. As soon as they are similarly falling apart the v6 is going to be my next pair of every day beaters and I can't wait to get my hands on them. I hope we get a ton of colorways on them the way we did with the v5s

Just bought these today. Straight to feet - literally wore it out the store and walked an hour and a half straight. Love it.

About to cop these ASAP! Awesome video as always Seth!

Just grabbed these yesterday after owning the V5’s for a year and falling in love with newbies. The V6 is just soooo good looking on feet and looks so nice with athletic wear and pops a little more against a simple fit: absolutely love them

I'm still 50/50 on these, need to see different materials and colors but these are definitely growing on me

Every time I see these they look better and better. When I first saw them, I didn't necessarily like them. But now, they make the older 990 models look almost ancient. Teddy is a genius. This shoe is also an amazing platform for interesting color blocking, far more than the v5

I tried my first pair of 990v5 after watching your videos and they have literally changed my life. I have Achilles tendinitis due to really flat feet. It would start hurting really bad at the end of a work week.. upon switching I have yet to have that pain come back!! definitely buying these!

Thanks Seth, another great vid! Been waiting on these quintessential Dad shoes all year too! 🤙

Great review Seth! I'm moving away from my Nikes and Adidas and looking at NB. The U.S.A. made 990v6s really caught my eye and your review was super helpful!

Definitely want this pair. Absolutely loved the V5s

I really like the looks of those and I can't wait to get a pair on my feet. Love the videos 👍✌️

great review, seth! i am a big 990 v1 and v2 fan. maybe i will warm up to these over time.

So stoked on these; grabbed my pair and definitely going to be back for whatever collab they do!

Just purchased a pair of V6"s from the New Balance site and they did say to try a 1/2 size down and got a perfect fit. I have a wide foot and the X-Wide is perfect. Still have my V5's that have held up well. Good Review.

I bought these on a recommendation from my podiatrist after injuring my ankle. Not only are they the best I've worn in terms of support and comfort for the ankle, they are surprisingly cute on. I'm not a sneaker head, but I own a fair number of designer sneakers and will find it difficult to go back. Fantastic quality for the price - I'm not surprised this shoe has so many fans!

Just a huge thanks cannot wait for the new ones coming our way ...never fails to impress

Love how almost every video you kinda change the background to match the shoes being reviewed

I'll be rocking these all around the dmv.

Love my V5s and these look like yet another common NB W definitely gonna get me a pair

So glad I tried these on in-store I'm a true size 10 in nike and jordans. I ended up with a 9.5 wide in the 990v6. I never would have thought I had a wide foot but the rep helping me could tell before I even put my foot in the shoe. If buying online i would have just went a half size down so glad i went in to try em on. To summarize: these run long and narrow.

Finally got a pair. They're super comfortable and it's really a jack of all trades shoe. I've been wearing Ultraboosts for casual walking for the past 3 years and they've always felt a little too light and unstable. The 990v6 has similar comfort but feels much more balanced and solid. They do fit a bit narrow and there's a small gap at the tip but if I sized down it would feel way too narrow. I rather be a little long than have pain from being squeezed. I went TTS. And these look even better in the sun!

I loved fuel cell in the new balance rebel v2 running shoes, so I'm looking into buying the 990 v6s.

Great review. I've been wearing new balance sneakers for over 32 years now. The 900 series has been my go to shoe since the 90's. I've learned switching out the cheap insole for a more cushioned and/or a supportive one, and the thickness of the socks you wear, makes a hell of difference in how any sneaker fits. Respect to my fellow New Balance lovers! 👟 💯👍🏼💪🏼

If you are a fan of awesome materials and great quality and don't care much for "hype" then this shoe is for you. Can't wait to try the new iteration of the legendary 990 line

I can't wait to get my pair

Can’t wait to get these in hand. 🔥

Received a pair today. They're so nice!!

You should start doing a series of reviews called "Back in time", and review older more forgotten sneakers! For example, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Melo.

A pretty good update, appears more modern compared to the last model. I dig em for sure.

Toe box is great I always go a half size down because I don’t like my sneakers looking like flippers (fyi NB sneakers can run big). Okay so comfort level is good but the material towards back of shoe feels like it’s gonna let my heel slip right out the back collar of shoe. New balance usually makes a taller collar to keep your foot snug and secure in back as you walk in the shoe. I wear lots of 990v2, 990v3 and I also own the v5. I think the design uses a long thin upper tongue to form against the top of your foot to help keep secure. With a lifestyle runner I feel like you need a shoe with a deeper fit in collar. Suede is lighter tone grey compared to previous models even though they use castle rock traditional color way. Quality of suede is is fine and thin, usually I would say suede is a bit more thick and premium. The eyelets and eyestay (holes for laces) are a bit thin to. The roll of the shoe when walking is organic and you can feel a standard thick midsole. I don’t think anyone’s feet would be hurting, overall good model but try previous versions against the v6.

These are fire I need NB1 to return cause it has crazy potential regarding colorways

Great review. I love these. I’ll pick up a pair soon. Only reason why I didn’t pick up on release day is because I just purchased the 2002r protection pack “Rain cloud”

I was hesitant on getting the 990v6s but when they came in shipment from my job I just ended up pulling the plug on em. I love them joints lol, but you said yours didn’t come with extra set of laces, but mines came with an extra set of grey laces. That’s weird. But love the vid bro. Keep going.

If you’re already spending 150+ on a pair of sneakers I don’t see why anyone trip over an extra couple bones

While they are using their top tier foam (FuelCell), the stack height is similar to past 990s. Suede, leather and padded material add a tremendous amount of weight. This is not to say you can't run in them, but it's a poor option if your sole purpose is strictly performance compared to modern running shoes. Instead, this is a fantastic everyday shoe and looks fantastic.

These grew on me so quick

I dig the blue apothecary!

I just got the Action Bronson 990v6 and I’m hooked I wore them everyday last week, first time in a long time I actually wore the same shoe all week, I put on my Jordan 4s after that. Walked around for like 5min, and said no way took them right off. Threw the NBs on. It’s insane how uncomfortable Jordan’s are.

I prefer previous 990's with a cleaner look of the New Balance logo on the side

def looking into grabbing a v6. think i wanna wait for a different colorway tho. something unique. greys a classic just want something a bit different

I need a direct comparison between these and the 993🔥 one of those will be my first NB

After losing out on this mornings Baklava's (no shock personally) I really do need to just grab a V6 period. I'm personally becoming a slight NB fan also after finding a pair of 992 Greys and 2002r OG Dark Grey at the Platos near me last month. My God, they are comfortable! So..I admit, I haven't tried V3s...V4s, 5 or 6 yet. But I do expect these to be just as-or perhaps even more comfortable. And you are correct, the quality of these are very impressive!

Just grabbed a pair!! Would love to see some Big guy colorway love!! Getting tired of just gray and black in the XXwide variants!!

You hit every beat. There’s a reason you’re almost at a mil. Much love

Can't go wrong with grey, but I'm really interested in seeing the other two colorways that are teased at the end of the Teddy Santis Season 2 lineup before I cop a pair

I got these on holiday to greece! I wanted them for a while and they are sooooooo tasteful and high class

these look so much better than the pictures of the prototypes

We’re coming over to Disney from the UK for 2 weeks, so you’ve just convinced me to buy a pair of the v6. It was between the v5 and the v6, hope I’ve made the right decision in looks and comfort.🤞

What I can gather from this review is, for a snug fit go down half a size or for a slightly roomy fit go tts. Nice one Seth 👍🏻

gonna wait on the navy color

It comes with grey laces too

I got my pair with an extra Castle rock grey laces 😊the 990v6 is the latest and greatest.

Man fuel cell is soft but fresh foam x is so bouncy. Especially on the trail more v2. You gotta try it. I had to learn how to walk in them without running lol it’s a shoe begging to be unleashed. It’s wild

I need these!

For any late watchers. Dont go true to your size on 990v3s or 2002s...they are a deffo half size up. Im an 11 in those and bought an 11 in the v6. The toe box is tighter and the NB patch between the bottom lace is quite rigid meaning there is less room across the top of your toes and you are squished in. Its a shame as they are actually longer than the 999v3s etc, and its their design that is amazing. Definitely need to try them on with the thickest pair of socks you own that you wear all the time. Then you will be the judge

I have the 4s as one of my weekly shoes they are starting to get pretty beat. Someone with wide flat caveman feet the 990s are awesome. I will be picking up the 6 in the next few weeks for sure.

I love the 990v5. I wanna get me the v6 but I’ll wait till I see more colors. (Not because I don’t like the classic grey color way, I just want some more variety cause I already own the grey v5 and an all black v5)

Nobody has done a video comparing these to the hyped 993 but they are the exact same price so it’s a tough choice. I ended up going with these and eager for them to arrive.

THANK YOU its Awesome I love it

Price increase sucks but MIUSA and MIUK models always feel worth the money. Sucks that my feet don’t respond well to so much cushioning and such a high heel/toe drop anymore

I have those blue socks, love em ! Highly recommended. The Heather mid socks are also fire ! I'm considering getting these as I love my v5s and I'm a 48 year old so dad shoes are right up my street. I do however love the Action Bronson v6's - I hope they get a recent release, resell isn't crazy and that it's not just an extremely limited friends and family style pop up. I love my colorful NB's as my interest for NB started around the time of the max hectic x Stüssy 580 collabs, which Stray Rats have recently released a very similar color way to those. However, you can never go wrong with a clean grey NB.

I love new balance man, the design, material, and the overall look always hits me 🔥💯. I wish I had a pair, but money is the issue. Btw, great video as always Seth.

when you compare these to the 990 v5's it's like night and day how different they are, they look much more like the 990 v3 which are my favorite, so I think these will be my new favorite

Love my 990 v1's, 990v6 on order.

Two laces? Hey Seth, great video! I got mine yesterday in Philly (met you in line) and got two laces/ grey and white. Might want to check your box again…

after trying my true size, I will recommend going half a size down

I was on the fence when I saw early images. This is one of the rare times when the actual shoe is better than early images.

Coming with extra grey laces

Love my 990v5s. Most comfortable shoe ive ever worn.

Seth, really great video. Thank you.

I went true to size . Haven’t received them yet . Fingers crossed they fit

My v5 still holding up well, till then I’m not getting the v6. The v6 looks more gym-esque, less lifestyle look imo

A lot of us don’t have a new balance store around us that’s why were watching the video … I went TTS , we’ll see how it goes

990V5 have been to many countries with me and I wouldn’t travel without them

Shoe of the year

It’s a given fact that most Americans wear shoes that are too small for them. I’ve never once complained about a shoe that was slightly larger than my “true size.” I measure a 10.5, which is what most (but not all) of my dress shoes are. In running shoes I typically always go at least a full size larger, sometimes half a size. The 990v6’s I got in size 11 2E. I agree they are a bit long, but we are talking about 1/8 of an inch between the 10.5 and the 11. My advice is to always go with the larger size if your fall in between sizes. I enjoyed your video bro!

Disappointed about the price increase but then again the 990v5 is the longest set of shoes I’ve ever owned and have hundreds of miles on them. They got 3-4 miles a day minimum (often 10+) for 4 years. I went through a few insoles but the shoes are solid. Physically they still are they just squeak now and that’s where I draw the line.

I’ll wait for more colors

Can't decide between the v5 and v6!

Out of the 990v6, 990v5, 550s or any new balance shoes which is the most comfortable and better looking shoe @Seth Fowler I’m okay with either one as long as I can get a new balance shoe

990 is mostly popular in the dmv,bmore,Philly

Got a pair the mid vs the v5 quarter of an inch narrower. Mine came with 2nd set of laces different color

It does come with a extra pair of laces. Mine package came with a box with grey laces.

Fs going to have some version 9f these. Maybe olives and 3ple black

I have found the v6 to be more narrow in the midfoot I measured vs v5 new in my box yes has extra pair of laces The v5 I'd better quarter of an inch wider in the mid foot. I tried v6 in wide it fits but v5 feels more comfy

that's weird that you didn't get another pair of laces -- we got a 2nd pair with these. maybe they updated it after your video lol

CHAMPS carries them in-store as well as V5.

All you need now is cargo shorts and a corvette

Thnx for the review. I am a size 11 and typically wear Pegasus and ultraboost 1.0 and go half size up. That being said, should I go half size up w/ these bad boys?

When is the navy colorway releasing?

Fuego 🔥

Hey Seth is that a blue dial rolex datejust on your wrist? 👀

I just bought a pair (gray) and they came with an extra pair of gray laces.

Mine came with both white and gray laces

990’s are the best all day sneakers. Period. Also… what type of pants are those???

These actually came with grey laces as well, not sure why you didn't get a pair with them.

Seth 990V6 or the 2002R for the fall? Please help

They look good, very nice 👍

dude can talk...keep on keepin on...very thorough video

Mine came with an extra pair of gray laces
