Thanks for this comparison. I’ve worn the 990 v5 since it came out and had to buy the v6 when my NB store didn’t have the v5 in stock. The v6 was a nice shoe but after a few days I couldn’t wear them so I gave them away. Now I can’t find the v5 online in my size. This video has been very helpful and I will be trying the v4.
I’ll preface this by saying the v5 is my all time favorite shoe. I think it beats the other 990s in every category besides looks.. In my opinion it even tops the v6… I like the looks of the v4 more. That plastic piece on the v5 kinda puts it behind the others unfortunately. I LOVE the v5. My first NB!
I think once you wear the v5 a lot, the comfort can for sure compete with the v6! I agree, the v4 has it beat with the looks. Our first 990 was the v5 so of course we will always have a special place in our heart for the v5!
I have v 5 black color,I really like it looks! It has leather material,even i like to wear it when I wear skirt, it looks great! I bought it in the end of 2019 in Taiwan. Now I need a new pair of sports shoes. Just wondering should I buy same V5? ,or try others? ( My feet easily tired,need to find a pair of shoes with a good support and comfortable cover.)
Couldn’t stand the v5. Way too heavy and stiff. The v6 corrected all the v5’s short commings imo and I’d also go with the v4 or even the v3 over the 5.
