I ordered this yesterday. Will be my first 990v6. Everyone keeps saying the gr is better but I can’t find it in stock anywhere so I’m saving a little bit with the Ald pair than StockX or goat for the gr
Thanks for the quick review! Confirmed for me that I’m set with my cream GR pair from last summer. Really like this one too but I’m disappointed it wasn’t a more traditional ALD colorway with Navy and/or green.
I initially didn’t like the GR cream because of the mid panel separating the toe and heel color. Now that I see it on the ALD I prefer the GR. This looks like a 4th core colorway that should drop on NB with the grey, black, and navy.
this shoe looks way better on video than in pictures, thanks for the review Sean i ordered the jjjjound x nb 2002r gore-tex and i look forward to that as well
Prefer the ALDs - I have the GR and I think they look more sporty (white hits, bigger looking N) while the ALDs are more classy and refined. Copped the ALDs and selling my GR!
ALD and NB always seem to release a GR style collab those 860 v2 white you reviewed are another example of laziness from ALD and NB. Most of their collaboration seem plain in my eyes. Compared to the other collaboration from other people NB teams up with, I have ALD tied for last with JJJhound.
I am debating about getting a 990v6 or a 991v2 for the fuel cell comfort. Prefer the look of the 991v2 but the color ways have been slow to roll out. Any suggestions?
There’s great things about both pairs. I like the “N” logo, shape, and black outsole on the ALD. But I like the midsole and laces of the GR. Overall, I like the ALDs and was happy to get them since my size in the mindful grey was sold out by the time I decided I wanted them.
Took me 3 years of watching like a ninja but i'm finally a subscriber, lol. Great job as always brothA, i appreciate the honesty/transparency of your review. Glad you're no longer saying "I feel like i'm repeating myself over and over..." That definitely was off-putting especially when it's someone watching your vid the first time. Keep up the good work!
If you have the gr no need to spend on the ald. Very disappointing to see no special branding on the tongue or heel. Confusing what teddy was doing with the repeat colorway
I mentioned this on IG when I saw a comparison as well, but the ALD cosign makes 0 difference to me, I'll just get whichever pair is cheaper. Coincidentally, I do happen to like the GR version a little more anyway...
Let's be real here , alot of collabs now are very basic and not if it wasn't for a name slapped on them they would be sale shelf fodder , these and them awful jjjjound 2002r that dropped , collabs just aren't what they used to be.
Starting to lose interest in ALD NBs to be honest. Would be nice if they bring out some actual new/archive silhouettes rather than what's already popular
These are clean, but they’re so lazy. There’s been like 3 colorways that look identical. New Balance is slowly approaching Yeezy territory with releasing the same colorways
Like the look on the original cream ones. The material and color for the overlays on the ALD pair should’ve been on the cream pair. And I prefer the “N” on the ALD pair more than the grey N on the cream joints. But NB is about shuttle differences, everything isn’t meant to wow you with splashes of color every single time…grown man B.I.
the ALD collab looks super clean and versatile, would cop for sure

Smart move.
boutta cop this pair as well
990v6 are dope AF🔥🔥🔥 this color way is a must for any collection

I don't own the GR pair so I pulled the trigger on the ALD's! Great video as always!
I like these more than the GRs, they're more subdued and tonal which I really like. Both are great though.

yup
Really lazy they didn’t even bother making a special ALD tongue tag for these. Definitely a miss
For 220 i agree
facts premium price for the lack of effort is mediocre
this shoe looks way better on video than in pictures, thanks for the review Sean i ordered the jjjjound x nb 2002r gore-tex and i look forward to that as well
I prefer these. Even though theyre pretty much the same, the middle panel not being the same color as the front and heel throws me off on the GR
Great video.. I bought the GR at sale for half price over Xmas. Got lucky there
Prefer the ALDs - I have the GR and I think they look more sporty (white hits, bigger looking N) while the ALDs are more classy and refined. Copped the ALDs and selling my GR!
thanks for showing off the shoe!!
Hey bro love this review ….i like the ALD pair …looks more cohesive to me
ALD and NB always seem to release a GR style collab those 860 v2 white you reviewed are another example of laziness from ALD and NB. Most of their collaboration seem plain in my eyes. Compared to the other collaboration from other people NB teams up with, I have ALD tied for last with JJJhound.
Appreciate the review Sean
✌️🤝
Any idea if/when these will release in Europe? Currently not available in the ALD European site...
this looks more like an ald exclusive than a real ald collab
It’s a case of “Hey, lemme see your homework. Don’t worry, I won’t copy it word for word.”
Great review. I definitely like the mindful Grey much more. ALD was super lazy on this
I am debating about getting a 990v6 or a 991v2 for the fuel cell comfort. Prefer the look of the 991v2 but the color ways have been slow to roll out. Any suggestions?
Both great shoes 991 feels a little more traditional to nb
990v6 are super comfy, haven't tried the 991v2
Sean can you please do a review of the Adidas AE1s?
I think the GR looks better! Great video, keep it up bro!

These look clean but I wish it had Aime Leon Dore logo on it
Do you sell any pairs that you “don’t need” after the reviews?
always
@@SeanGo any links to what is available?
Idc - I’ll buy both. NBs only 😅
👀
ALD giving WTAP a run for their money on the 990v6 collab vs. GR. Grab anything else on the ALD drop?
nope none of the apparel spoke to me this time

ALD and the gr looks almost identical. i could barely tell them apart 😅
I actually like the general release over the ald.
Want one!
definitely prefer last yr's colorway but this is a good alternative. btw the poll result was amazing!
Fire
GR for me 💯
If you don't care about ald you could just get the GR pair.
looks better too imo
Looks so similar to the GR pair from last year, which I personally think looks better. Glad I picked it up on sale last year.
agreed
This is like the “Travis Scott” version of af1. They just phoned this one in. lol.
I'm not sure about that colorway.
Y’all smoking crack… the ALD pair looks way cleaner than the GR
fr
They really phoned these in eh
I mentioned this on IG when I saw a comparison as well, but the ALD cosign makes 0 difference to me, I'll just get whichever pair is cheaper. Coincidentally, I do happen to like the GR version a little more anyway...
perfect!
Cream 990v6 "Reimagined" lol
I have the GR from last year so im good on the ald, thanks ald for saving me a bit of dough catch me on the next one lol
Promo SM 😎
When the box is more exciting than the shoe. ALD really dropped the ball here.
😆😆😆😆😆

The GR looks more like a Collab Colorway..
Got the GR pair that’s all I need to say
Never liked the cream pair, will absolutely buy the ALDs when they're on sale in a few months
Think I prefer the GR I like how the midsole area is separated. Makes the toe area look so slick. Damn ALD y’all was mad lazy on this one 😂😂
Look more like the 990 v6 Cream.
GR definitely looks better.
In a new era of being selective with these things, this is the easiest pass of the year
What a lazy collab. Almost insulting.
😆😆😆
