I think GR 1906L (mesh ones) is ugly. GR 1906L does not look 'smart' at all. 990 series, 992, 993, 2002R are far better than GR 1906L in every occasion that I will match GR 1906L. With that being said, however, I think leather version like Junya Watanabe collab is dope. Leather is what makes the look more smart. Mesh is no no for loafers.
Josh this it totally still a sneaker and deserves to be on the sneaker of the year video. A shoe can fall under more than one bucket. It's a sneaker and a loafer
Interesting. I don't think anyone else will do this as Sneaker of the Year. So well done for putting your head out there. Am not sold on them yet, but maybe if I try them on.......................................
i'm still amazed we haven't even got the gr pair release in au/nz. not trying to pay $400~ usd for the silver launch pair. from what i see on goat and stockx the junya pairs didn't even release past size 11 which means im out of luck completley unless i get a gr
I need to get a pair man.. was waiting for offspring to drop.. then they moved the date forward and dropped it randomly. And after all the videos you’ve done it’s like the first time I realised were the same size I could have sworn you wasn’t lol
I also bought both pairs at resale, but good thing is that i got the white pair under retail and had been wearing it a lot and absolutely loved it. While for the black pair i had to pay on top of retail for it, i felt that i would get lots of use out of it too, and i just thought that by not getting the AMM air max 95 and air force 1 which i know i would not be wearing much, would rather get a pair i know that i would use a ton of.
UPDATE: I saw the sizing portion of the video lol. Yeah! I wore my white Junya pair with either Stance or Uniqlo (those dress socks) and they fit perfect, and even with a little room. For the other pairs I'll definitely aim for 10.5. Thanks again!
@@B--en4db biggest size is 11. Ended up getting both pairs in that size and they fit ok. Probably gonna wear them without the insoles tho still feel fine.
Thanks for the forecast! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
I love NB and the way they keep reinventing themselves to the point where they are ahead of competitors when bringing new stuff. But these are easy pass for me. I believe they’ll be considered atrocious once the trend is over.
Hi Josh! Congrats! I just secured the black pair this past weekend! Can you comment on sizing of these specific pairs vs. the 'general' 1906 loafer pairs? I took a chance on size 10 with the white pair and thankfully it was a great fit, however, I noticed that these Junya pair had softer leather in the uppers vs. synthetic upper materials on the other pairs. Do they fit the same across the board or did the Junya pairs fit better? I'm hoping it's consistent but if a half size up is better for the more synthetic pairs, then that insight would also help me a ton! Thanks for the great review!
I have been following your videos, so far I have liked all the NB sneakers featured and the ASICS one too, you got great choice, but somehow I can’t seem to wrap my head around these joints man. ☮️
Great review 🫡. Wish the black Junya’s ran higher than 11M. Did cop the grey pair in my size and I’ve been loving them.

Yea I agree with this take
The GR ones look great in person and feel great too, don't knock em til you try them for yourself
Why New Balance doesn't release the GR leather ones. I'm not going to overpay those collabs

I love that you have a review on these. They look sick! I have the magnets incoming early so I'm looking forward to it.
Magnets look good
I love these. Thank you for this review. I wasn't able to get the retail, so I going to have to pay to play.

11 gang. Thanks for commenting fam, you were one of the first RUclipsrs i watched when getting into sneaker youtube
Be expecting GR’s soon probably by December
Much better looking the mesh pairs, really hope we get leather-toe GRs in the future 🤞

Definitely top 3 soty
Yessir

I won’t be dropping one , I’m not really into 3s, never had one
It seems to be the perfect go to work shoe, classy and confortable.
Yea for sure perfect work shoe for a sneakerhead
I have not seen “half sizes” on the secondary market, are they only available in full sizes?
yea these only came in full sizes
Really nice shoe, I mean sneaker 😂😉 hope to get the GR black as compensation for not getting these 🤞
Same. For me, these are definitely SOTY for me as well 💯🔥
NB x amine 740v2?
I need the silver pair then the black colorway ❤️🔥
Do you think someone who's an 11.5 would be good with an 11?
Too tight get .05 above ur size
