I’ve had many shoes like that all leather 990v4 but I never end up wearing them. You should take that pair and do a life test in them and see if you could wear them for 2 weeks straight and show the outfits you wear with them. Would be super entertaining. I don’t think I could personally do it but maybe you could.
3:09 , thats the black 990v3 I found a few weeks ago. So far I have ALL gray NBs...so the same...I wanted to switch it up to black for once. I personally have a lot of black sneakers so these have been worn a lot in the past 14-16 days. Liking those white laces on these. I have the black on mine still...just may switch it up now. Awesome collection Sam!
Switching up to the white laces made me wear them so much more. I love a grey new balance but there’s just something special about a black pair to switch it up! Thanks, I appreciate it!
Love your videos bro, I think the way you shoot and present is amazing. And first off, thats a hell of a collection in such a short space of time, tons of the staples/classics too which I respect the heck out of. Also, I'll say I respect anyones opinion with kicks to start; however AB is (imo) no way the greatest collaborator in New Balance history! Crooked Tongues, Solebox, Mita, WTAPS, United Arrows, Kith, DTLR, YCMC, J.Crew and Todd Snyder just to name a handful have been putting out absolute HEAT for years! AB talks about wearing certain pairs from those collabs which inspired his desire to work with NB to begin with. I know those v6's are awesome, and with the talk/early images of his 1906's hes a popular choice for people, nothing wrong with that, just no way (imo) he is the 'greatest' NB collaborator of all time. Ok, I'll get off my old man soap box lol and awesome video btw, go figure the right lighting and showing pairs to the camera makes a big difference! cheers bro 🫡
I always appreciate your comments. Being complemented by someone like you who has the greatest collection I’ve ever seen means a lot! You’re 100% right, action isn’t the best new balance collaborator. I just got a little carried away and over exaggerated🤣 I’m just such a sucker for those v6s! If you had to pick the “greatest collaborator” for new balance who would be your #1? Thanks for always watching my vids and encouraging me! Appreciate you!
@@samdopkosky Nah, I thought that it sounded pretty old head-ish myself lol so thats why I said each opinion within the community is what keeps things growing in a positive direction and is important in its own right. I always appreciate the love, just being know as a good collector is cool with me, as for collabs, out of those I listed I could probably break lists down between domestic, European, asian shops/collaborators lol. I love Crooked Tongues and United Arrows a ton overseas, and the DMV shops, DTLR and YCMC (rip) have to be up there for US based. Either way man, keep making dope videos and reviews; I learn a ton from watching your stuff every time. cheers bro
You are more that just a good collector, your videos are extremely unique and there is no one that has what you have so that's why I love your channel. I also learn a ton from your videos, I learn a lot about some new balances I have never even seen lol. Always looking forward to your videos, I really like the RU-vid shorts (nice, quick and easy). keep it up!
Very cool channel and video! I have only one NB, a 5740 that I bought in October in a mushroom color way. I've never been a sneaker guy, but the NB really got me with these, very confortable, stylish and with a classic look that goes well with everything. Now I'm probably gonna get a 990v6 in grey for daily use, I hope it's worth the money. Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil!
Thank you, I appreciate it! You can never go wrong with getting a few pairs of new balance. I highly recommend the 990v6 is the grey color for an everyday shoe. One of my favorite sneakers of all time. It is for sure worth the money!
@@samdopkosky I actually got a 933 instead of the 990v6. I think they will suit my style better, because I wear a lot of jeans and not so many sportswear. Idk, for me the v6 feels a lot like a sports shoe, more than a lifestyle. I kind of enjoy the retro style of the 993, with a lot of suede and the small N on the side. Anyways, thank you for the content, really helped me with my choice!
Bought my first NB shoe because of your videos. Man, i don’t think i’ll ever go back. It’s NB from this day forward. Was thinking of getting the 991v2, but how do they compare with the 990v4 in terms of sizing. Congrats on your collection. Cheers!
That makes me so happy to hear! I’m glad you got a pair, there really is no going back lol. I highly recommend the 991v2. I got my pair the same size as my v4 which I went true to size on and they both fit perfect! Enjoy those NBs!
What's up! I am so glad I inspired you to get the 991v2, I hope you love them. The song playing is called "The Deep End" by Lil yachty. Its unrelated but you can find it on Soundcloud and RU-vid
Sup! I have 4 pairs of 990v6, 5 pairs of 990v4, 4 pairs of 990v3. I love 990 as you love em, bro. I have a question tho: I want to buy 991v2 and I’m not sure about sizing. For my 990v6 I go 0,5 size down. 990v4 I have some in TTS some in 0,5 down. 990v3 I prefer 0,5 down as well. So, how’s 991v2 compared to those models? Should I go half size down as well?
First thing, yes you should for sure get the 991v2! I am a size 10 and I buy all of my 990s true to size except for the V6 I go a half size down. I got my 991v2 true to size and they fit perfectly, I have enough room in the toe box. The 991 is a little more narrow compared to like a v4. You could go true to size if you want just a little bit of room in the toe, if you like it nice and snug go a half size down. Hope this helped and let me know if you need me to clarify anything!
In 3 months…. Lool I got: 992- 2 pairs 993- 1 pair 990v6- 1 pair 990v3- 2 pairs 990v4- 2 pairs 991-v2 1 pair Need a good colaboration of 990v5 and will be my next
The short version of it is... I was looking for a sneaker that I could wear every with a classic look to it. I never even thought of new balance. I went to the store one day, found the grey 574 and fell in love. There is no other shoe that has given me the feeling that a new balance does.
Im sorry but putting a handful of loud colors together that grabs the eye doesn't make them look good. glorified clown shoes propped up by a "look at me" society imo. Nike has many, MANY examples of this.
Hey Sam, love your channel. My first pair of new balances was the 2002r in the rain cloud colorway. I wanted to know what you thought of the 991v2 in the nimbus cloud/light grey color? I managed to find a pair online and I'm stoked!
