For all-day wear, almost nothing beats the 990v3 and 990v4 for me. It's not about super-squishy cushioning, it's just the right support and structure for all day. Glad to see you in some USA New Balance!

New Balance materials are actually worth the Jordan price point

Chris. I shifted to new balance starting from 2018 and I can tell you the magic of its comfort is all about longevity. V3,V6 is my fav in the lineup. If you have to walk all day, you will be amazed by these, less soreness on your feet compared to other shoes. Even the boost.

Love seeing these on the channel. v3 and v4 are still my favorite is the 990s, but the v6 is growing on me. And for someone that praised Jordan 3s and 4s for their neutral comfort, I'm surprised you don't find those as comfy. I've always called them a great neutral comfort shoe. All day wear with no worries.

I appreciate you reviewing these. The entire 990 line, v1-6, goes hard. Quality is always top-notch.

I got a pair of the 990v4. They’re firm but extremely supportive over a long day. They’re great for long wears because they hold up. Lots of shoes end up wearing out after being on your feet all day but these are absolute tanks.

I normally go true to size in all of the 990 series, 993s, 998s, 1906r & 2002r. They all fit me perfectly. The only pair that I’ve had a fit issue is the 550. These two color ways are so 🔥 and picked them up on sale today!

Being from the DMV area these are a staple for us. Glad to see NB on your channel, hell I still rock the OG 992s myself!

At a size 12.5 with a narrow foot, I’ve never found a NB that hits me right but always appreciated their style going back to the 90s. Definitely nice to see them well respected in the sneakerhead community, not just collabs. I’ve been rocking with Saucony a lot recently, for many of the same reasons: quality to match the price and classic yet distinct styles.

New Balance sneakers are crazy fire. Quality, comfort, fit and finish, etc. and American made. Just copped the 2002R in the, “Tobacco” color way… and the, “Castlerock” color way. Couldn’t be happier. Good looking and insane comfortable.

Now this is what we wanna see!! We need more videos Showing New Balance!!!! Check out Asics too bro🔥🔥🔥 Asics gel 1130 and gel Kayano 14 been making some noise Lately

990s reign supreme in the DC area! Regardless of preference on looks, these are easily better quality (build + materials) than MOST hyped shoes in the market

I’ve been looking at both of these pairs for the holidays this year! Awesome pairs, great review as always 😊

Your statement in the opening about the sizing- I felt in my soul. I really want to dive into their products/ but sizing is so wonky and price is so high it’s an actual risk.

I've tried the 2002R,990v3,990v4,990v5. So far the v5 have been my favorite due to the absolute crazy comfort and looks! I think what many people overlookil is the fact that it blurs the lines between "the streets" vs "the suburbs. You can't really tell what kind of person is rocking these , and it makes it that more interesting to see the mystery. But ur an OG Knightwing, and i recently came up on some new balance 2000 special edition in purple. Ive dont a small bit of research, but this discontinued model use to be top of the line for street wear back in the day.

I love the 9060. Possibly the most comfortable lifestyle shoe on the market. Plus they look wacky and come in a lot of offbeat colorways. Big fan.

I jumped on the NB train this year and got myself the 2002r. I’m on a similar boat to Chris where I don’t fully understand the comfort level that people suggest and it could be that used to a more bouncy ride. But the upper is comfy and they are very nice looking.

I have the 990v3s, v4s and v6s and I get the whole the v4 doesn't feel that comfortable compared to the v6 thing, but you have to wear it all day to feel it. The firmness on the v4s as well as the v3s keep the blood flowing in your feet and you just won't feel very much fatigue at all after a long day. Definitely life test them if you get the chance

Finally!! Been wanting to know what Chris thought of the teddy santis line

when i was younger, it was all Nike or Adidas only. but now im older, and watching a lot of shoe review channels, i started trying out other brands. particularly, with New Balance, since they are so good on feet. i do agree with the sizing. I'm a size 10 usually (Nike, UA, BrandBlack, etc), but with NB, i usually get sz9.5, or i even get down to sz9 on some models. very good quality and always on sale.

Difference being that AJ s have garbage quality and craftsmanship where’s NB is easily a cut above. It’s incredible that people are still buying J s for those ridiculous prices

I think when people talk about the comfort of the 990v3-v5 isn’t really referring to cushiness as much as it is zero fatigue. Everyone’s feet are different but generally the shape of the midsole disperses nice and evenly across your whole foot. I stand 8-9 hours a day at work and have ZERO fatigue. It’s pretty amazing!

The thing with NB comfort is not just softness. It read it that way at the start myself, but learned squshiness gets tiring after a lot of hours on your feet. My 1080v12 are a pillowy delight, but for 3+ hours my v3s are superior. Note I only "got into" NBs after a bad leg injury though I grew up with them in MA, so no bias here.

I was just looking at these online this morning. Really want to start picking up some nice NBs as I too am evolving/aging.

Yes, New Balance started me on this sneaker thing because it was what I can afford. They say that what your New Balance size is your truest size. Although I can’t confirm that because I’m up half a size on other brands except for NBs

I was new to the NB game until last year when I was able to snag a pair of the Salehe Bembury 990v2 for close to retail, and I freakin love em. If the v3s and 4s are anything like them or better, I'm gonna have to expand my collection.

I own a few pairs of New Balance, a few different models.....I love each pair, great quality and comfort. They're actually a great change of pace from my Nikes, Jordans, and Adidas.

Love to see more NB reviews

whole different level of success when you start wearing these bad boys lol wearing new balances shows growth

The quality of the line Made USA is unmatchable. I grabbed a pair 8 years ago and they are still intact. The outsole & the leather are pretty solid. Moreover, at contrary to fake leather sneaker, the smell isn't poisoned

Hey Chris!I love the 2002r for $140 good looking and a decent comfort. The suede on them joint is a good buy.

Loving it, let’s move on from poor quality and lack of respect for the customer brands. NB, saucony, ASICS you get what you pay for.

I own a few different NB lifestyle models and put a Move All Day insole them. Great combo especially for the older 990 models, at least for me anyway. I still haven’t tried the v6 model yet though.

Everybody has Jays but also many sneaker heads have out grown Jays although we love them. I love the NB mature aesthetic and style!

NINE-NINETY-V6 ;) Love to see an honest review from a non NB head ;) Love you guys !

Yes, Made in USA you should definitely size down a half size but for some reason the 993 was tight and I need to go true to size.

Wonderful shoes.It’s look very nice.I think v3&v4 are still my interest 990s is growing on me.

Bro im glad you discovered the new balance world, they are awesome, dont get me wrong i have more jordans than new balances but they are awesome to wear and the quality is superb no gr jordans can match them. The 991s specially the v2 is good also but they are made in uk so a bit more expensive, just waiting for them to release new color ways

Once you start to dabble in the runner market you will not look back , so many options now! NB an obvious but asics as well , the gel 1130 particularly i think would be to your liking, even salomon now are everywhere over here in the UK. Welcome to the comfort club 😂

Thanks for reviewing nb even though it's not your wheelhouse your opinion on them is valuable!

I love the marron colorway, but don't need another pair of V6. Olive V4 are definitely gonna be picked up once on sale.

Try the NB Super Comp Trainer V2 if you're looking for more of the traditional "cushioned" ride. IMO, they are the best performance running shoe for daily wear.

The 580 is another nice shoe and not expensive and so right about the sizing

I've been wearing new Balance for years. And I think it's funny how people are coming around to them now. New Balance has been making comfortable and good quality sneakers for a while now. With good materials And it took a bunch of collabs for the sneaker community to start riding the wave. Many of their shoes are so comfy. And you can beat them up. My kids especially my daughter used to give me crap about wearing my new balances out in public during family outings. Because I own a ton of J's and Air Max. Many of which are still DS. but i am sometimes more interested in being comfortable than being stylish. But now my kids have come around. They wear NB's now, and my wife does too. It's funny how young people follow trends. But I will say this. I am always looking for sales. Because it is still hard for me to pay Air Jordan prices for NB's. I like them a lot. but not enough to pay over $200-$250. But to each their own.

Great review! I've got the 990v4 Olive too! I strongly that these pair are a beautiful looking shoe and NB MIUS' quality are far better than Jordan is that price point! 😄

These are cool. I'm a big fan of the 9060 model

Love my gray 990v4’s! The suede is god tier.

1500's also sit nice on foot, amazing colorways and the packs have amazing quality. I know J are the hype but NB blows them away, V6 color you have is fire, look great on-foot. With pricing they are made in the USA and that cost more, unlike a Jordan 4 px @ $220 made by a 6 yr old in Asia. Just saying

My great grandpa and grandma love these

I go from true to size to one size up depending on the sale/discount 😂. Love the 993 the most of all NB.

They're just so darn comfy 😌 we're all aging i love the comfort of the NBs not necessarily the look other than the 9060s.

Chris, where’d you get that hoodie sir!!!🔥🔥🔥

love to see u review NB lol

Huge fan of 990v4 and 990v6. I had a 9060 first, but they felt almost… too squishy? Definitely comfortable, but the 990 styles felt better overall and are more wearable for a lot of walking.

SIde note 990V3, and V4's you have to wear at least once to break them in (Like a day and you should be good to go).

Materials CRAZY

Definitely been grabbed NB in recent years

I think I gotta grab the grey Made in USA 990v6 now. Darn Chris always making me spend money.

The rule of thumb with new balance is made in USA go half size down. If it’s made anywhere else go true to size. (Except 9060) but other than that all other models like 550 2002 and 1906 go true to size.

Dude the NM480 is a great shoe too!

The 990v4s are some of the most comfortable for my feet, especially as I evolve/age and my feet need more stability

I’d WAAAY rather pay New Balance a premium price for a sneaker that’s actually made well with premium materials than pay Nike for unpredictable and mediocre/crappy materials and unpredictable quality from China or Vietnam. I own lots of Nike’s… but are always happier with the quality and comfort of New Balance.

which was the better half-size down fit, AJ1 low OG or the NBs?

I love my NB, quality is hella good

Been saying that for years half the ppl say that Jordan’s too expensive wear NB at least in Bmore and never been on sale older models of 992’s which has been recently 🤷🏾‍♂️

I had the 990v4. Worth the investment. They were my work shoes.

Very comfortable. Picked them over Jordans for that reason

Same problem here, I liked a lot NB 990v2 from Salehe Bembury ,got my usual 9,5 and had to sell them ..prices are higher than a Jordan, he re in EU the retail of the 990 v6 is 250€ !!😢

I’ll take NB over Jordan or Nike any day. Especially any of the 990 series.

NB’s 990’s are superior in comfort and suede leather quality. They look good depending on how you style them. But just talking Jordan’s, they are stylish and just go with almost anything. But I’m also a big Air Max 1 kinda guy and I just feel like NB’s just do it for me too. And have to add that NB is killing it with all the collabs it’s been doing!

Put some Move inserts and you’re golden! I can do a full Disneyland day with some 990s V3-6 + AllDay Move inserts

For sizing, usually you go down half a size for MiUSA shoes and up half a size for MiUK. All others typically can be your true to size 🤘🏼

Nb 1080v13 review up next !

I love the way you talk about new balance. 😂You can tell you just joined the club. You will get better with the names

Long live Teddy Santis - latest season has been fire!

I mean, the quality is pretty top notch - so it makes sense!

Keeping it 100... New Balance is probably the most underrated shoe on the face of the earth.. Great shoes from the bottom to the top

I'm from Baltimore and I approve this message

Link for hoodie plz

I got the purple colorways. They are siiiick. I'll pay that price for Made in USA

Great video, I personally own over 85 pair of NB but the Shando with the dynasoft sole are a sleeper man.. 990 series are expensive, however these are good ortho shoes overtime. #2002r #CT302

Quality looks better not sure if you’re using a new camera. HD

in terms of comfort it's v5 over everything for me. i own all versions besides the v1, and i have to give it to the v5.

6:54 from this angle they'll always be dad shoes for me

Dad shoes are the winner this year🔥🔥🔥

Been finding it really ironic lately that all the Jordans I've been wanting have been relatively easy to get but the new balances I've been after I've been taking L's lol

My opinion about the v6 is they feel so bouncy on the feet. They kinda overdid it and wearing it for non running purposes kinda awkward. Besides it being too functional they are perfect in every way. The looks are astounding.

These are the Teddy Santis releases , basically these are under cover ALD releases Same designer just Direct .

I don't like them either Chris I prefer the 574 runner it way better looking or the basketball high top classic thank you humbly Chris can you do episode on lottos sneakers classic in the hood where I'm from which is Connecticut by the way of new haven

Yep, and they’re way better!

Here’s the trick: anything that is in the Made in the USA line, go half a size down!

New Balance is better than Jordan in every category. The quality alone is top notch.

990v6 🔥

Style & design of NB"s arent touching earlier model J's (1-6, 10-13) to me. Rock my 992' usa joints occasionally though. Quality is easily above J's though to me.

The v6 is amazing. The price is a bit high. I’m waiting for the basic grey pair to go on sale.

I wonder why you don't find them comfortable. Maybe you prefer the firmness and stability of basketball tech? Running shoes have softer cushion, which is great but is less stable so they're not great for standing long hours, then there's most NB shoes where they strike that nice balance between stability and cushion, plus the materials are so quality, firm yet breathable.

Washington DC signature shoe‼️‼️‼️

I would take v3, v4 over almost any J's any day. Jordan 3's are probably the only exception.

NB All Day Jordan Brand is stale IMO. NB's are way more comfortable and they don't skip on materials and their QC is sooooo much better. 990 V3,4,5,6, 2002R, 992,993, even 991 are dope do a deep dive man do a deep dive.

Your money goes much further buying these. Can’t beat the quality and I support 🇺🇸 companies.
