I think my shoe of the year is the 90/60… like all of them. 😄 I know it’s perhaps a bit overly chunky, but I like the visual presence it has plus the chunk results in serious comfort. I also think pretty much every colorway available be it a collaboration or a GR is pretty great.

Out of all the new balances I bought this year the 990v3 Daytonas are my favorite..I don't understand why they don't do more colorways with the suede toe box instead of that mesh that is impossible to clean. Granted suede isn't either but at least the suede looks so good. I'm not mad at the mesh I just wish they did more like the Daytonas.

Bought 12 to 15 NB shoes this year but chose to keep 8 of them. My top 5 NB pickups (mostly resale though) as follows: 1. Jjjound 990v3 olive (found a lightly used pair at close to 40% cheaper of resale price at my size, just had to pull the trigger then) 2. 1906r x thisisneverthat (one of my raffle retail dubs of the year which went straight to toe when received, became one of my most worn shoes of 2022 at festivals and travel) 3. JFG 9060 Penny Cookie Pink (got it for not much over retail, such a gorgeous colorway on a shoe) 4. Teddy Santis 990v2 Sea Salt (An underated shoe imo, the pure white and cream colorway is perfect for my smart casual attire for work. Also one of my most worn shoes of 2022) 5. 1906r x invincible x n.hoolywood (Such an unique pair with contrasting materials on the upper and many lace options, the orange laces is the best of them all imo) The other 3 are the JFG 993 Arctic Blue (keeping on ice for 2023), the 9060 sea salt and 2002r navy protection pack. Overall a great year for NB. Brand of the year!

Great list.🔥 Seeing your top 20 and looking at my recent pickups made me realize how wild of a year New Balance had. I have the jjjjound 990v3 Olive, ALD 991s 'grey', JFG 993 'Sage' and a few others. All top sneakers for sure. But the pair that surprised me and has been getting the most wear and love out of all my pairs this year? The 2002R "Mirage Grey". The 2002R is just such an amazing silhouette and incredibly comfortable. Match that with the famous JP colorway and it was a day 1 buy. The fact it's a GR and you can still purchase for retail is just the icing on the cake.

This is a great list Sean! Didn't even know pairs like that MJCxPB 991 or the Beams 990v5 even released. My top 5 is mostly v3s which I got for the first time this year and they are amazing. The comfort is truly something else and the understated or muted colorways from Jjjound, Kith and the Teddy line have a grown-up look to them but are still fire. For me its YCMC Nimbus Cloud v3, Jjjound Olive v3, TS Navy v3, Kith Steel Blue v3 and the ALD 991 Grey. I love that Jjjound Montreal CW too making me contemplate painting the midsole on my Jjjound Brown/Black pair from earlier this year lol.
