First time seeing your channel and enjoyed the video. Your casual style seems very honest, and you obviously have the knowledge to back it up. Nice job. Bought the V4's today (found this video trying to confirm I made the right choice)
Comfort is my top criteria and the 990v6 is more comfortable than the v4. I still think Ultraboosts 1.0s are the most comfortable sneaker ever, but in terms of New Balance the 990v6 is really the best balance of comfort and looks. They're hard as hell to clean because there are so many different panels and materials but ultimately comfort is confidence.
I actually bought a pair of UB1's about 6 months ago and they were too tight on the top of my foot and I was gutted cause I was wanting them for a long time. I then ordered half a size up and they looked like boats and every time I walked, the plastic on the sides would rub on the inside of my foot. Safe to say neither of them were wearable. V6 on the other hand are just so comfortable!
I needed a gift for my brother. and he was considering between the V4 and the V6. After watching this video, I recommended the V4, which is more of a lifestyle shoes! He's a little bit active .. but not sporty. It was really helpful! Thank you so much!!
Great review! You absolutely sold me on the V4. I definitely agree it's the nicer lifestyle purpose shoe. I went with "Core Grey" as I loved the simplicity as well as the grey mesh as opposed to white, easier to keep clean. V6 is a step in the right direction, but as you stated it's more sporty and a bit less casual looking, agree 💯! I can see me buying both eventually 😂
@@samdopkosky Hey, I did get the 990v6! After a month of wear, I love them, but for totally different reasons. They're lighter weight and I like them more for active use compared to the v4's. However, I still think the v4's have the upper hand in stability and comfort for long hours (4+ hrs on foot). I also feel the 990v4 is more versatile, like I can take them on rougher terrains than the v6's which I find are better for pavement or grass. I got both in size 11, glad I didn't size down. I tried the 993 but honestly found them almost too firm, I really prefer both the 990s over them even though many seem to love the 993 online.
Thanks for the video … it answered all my questions in detail. I went to store yesterday to try on the V6 and it wasn’t for me smh. Even the guy that work at the store went into detail about how NB approached this model as a “corrective shoe” and emphasized it motion control (ENCAP) with this model. It didn’t have that 990 vibe to it , so I just ordered the V4 👟📦📭
Im going to get my first NB 990 ever and you narrowed down to v4 and v3. I heard someone else say the v5 kind of hurt your big toe because of it being shorter I would appreciate your input thanks. Great video it really did help me make my mind up I went for the v6 beig its newer but I was hesitant on the lifestyle aspect but I think yiou nailed it when you said v4 look like a lifestayle more so than the v6.
I’m happy for you for getting a pair! I’ve worn a 990v5 almost everyday for 2 years and never had any big toe issues. The v6 and the v4 are both perfect sneakers in their own way. Enjoy the 990!
I find the v5 more comfortable than the v6, I haven't had enough foot time with the v4 to make a judgement. For me, the v6 is too sporty for it to be versatile enough for day-to-day. You can wear v3, 4 and 5 with just about anything. Was disappointed overall with the v6.
Once you break in the V5 they get so comfortable. I’ve been wearing my V6 and V4 a lot recently and love them both. I totally agree that the v6 isn’t the best looking lifestyle compared to the other models. What makes the V6 appealing to me is the collabs and colorways
The v6 is a little bit longer than the v4. I wear the same size in both the v4 and v6 but a lot of people like to get a half size down in the v6 to get a more snug fit.
Your love and comparison for NB is dope, just got my 10th pair today, I'm more of a model number collector and then go throughout the different versions of every model after Iv'ed landed all model #s first... Awesome channel find dude!!! Where you get that cool shirt??? Much NB love man, we certainly get it!!!
Thanks for the support man, I appreciate it! Keep that collections growing! I’m glad you enjoy the content! I got the t shirt of of DTLRs website. It’s always nice to find someone who shares the same passion for NBs
There is a shoe more comfortable than the V6…..The V5. The 6 is sportier and more comfortable for an actual run 🏃♂️ but walking all day long casually - The V5 is like walking on pillows while the V6 has a sporty squish bounce
I’m going to have to agree with you. I like the stability and the all day comfort in the v5 as supposed to all that pillow feel in the v6. Both are super comfortable though!
I wanted to buy the V3 but there are no sizes left. Does anyone know if they will be restocked this year? If I have no choice I'll go for the V4s as a lifestyle shoe. I love that it's a very honest comparison, and the new balance look natural and authentic, no effects or anything. Congratulations!
You might be able to find the v3 at another retailer (I’ve seen a few pairs at foot locker recently). I don’t think new balance will be restocking the v3. You can’t go wrong with the v4!
Hi Sam Davld again finaly i find 990v6 11d and i buy it. My regular size 11 but İt is litle bit big for me maybe 10.5 is beter for me but icant find. Here is my guestion.

İ put on 990v5 11 d and my toe touch the shose litle bit some peaple said v5 is litle bıt smal than v4 and v3.İ now v3 11 is porfect for me when i was tried. Which size shoud i buy 993 or 990v4. İ am a fraid 11.5 is to big for me i now it is very complicaded guestion but you have all 990 models and 993. Wich size shoud i buy and which model you prefer 993. Or 990v4. New balance has size problem every model size is diferend. For my regular size11. V6 is litle bit longer in v3 perfect fit. İn v5 is smal tach my toe and im confius please help 🙏🙏 thank you buy
For both the v4 and the 993 I would get your regular size. I personally prefer the 990v4 over the 993 but both are amazing sneakers. Just go for your regular size and they will fit great. Hope this helps!
990v4 fits true to size and the 990v6 fits a little longer so I go a half size down because I like a snug foot but if you want some extra toe room I would go true to size
I think all 990s have similar breathability. A wider toe box in my opinion is on the v4. You can also order a wider width on new balances website in most 990s
For the most part they do. However for the V6 I think it fits a little longer so I usually go down a half size in the V6 but you can also go true to size if you want some extra room
Hello Sam ı am David from istanbul. İm buy 990v6 in internet i cant find in new balance shop this model in turkey. A lot of video says v6 is big shose mus go half size down. You have a lot of 990 models you now the diferend egzakly what is your comend my regular size is 11. What size i must buy. Four exepel your v4. V6 same sıze the v6 is realy biger than v4 thank you im wating your answer buy
Hey David! I have a few pairs of the 990v6. I wear a size 10 shoe and I get my 990v6s in a size 10 and I have some room in the shoe. I have one pair that is a half size down and it fits great but is a little snug. So if you would like some extra room in your 990v6 I would get your regular size 11. but if you want it more tight fitting go a half size down.The 990v6 is a little bit longer than the 990v4 but I prefer to get the same size in both which is my regular size 10. I hope this helps!
Hey. Sam thank you four your advace. İ am going to buy 11 in 990 v6 today. And i find 990v4 in black colour and i love both so what did you thing am i go to 11.5 in 990v4 because 990v6 is longer than 990v4 so in same feeling I thing must buy 11.5 in 990v4 thank you for your help 🙏 im going to buy the blac 990v4 i love ıt. This are the best every day shose have good weekend thanks man 🙏🙏
I would get your normal size in the 990v4. If you want a tighter feel for the 990v6 go a half size down. If you are okay with some room in the toe area in the 990v6 get your regular size, same as 990v4

Amazing salesman, NB should sponsor you
Thank you! Hopefully someday
Great vid Im still waiting on those white/green and cream v4s to release. Did you end up picking up those Teddy Santis cream 990v6s?
I decided not to get the cream v6s. I’m gonna wait with you and get the green and white V4’s, that leather is gonna be so nice on those

@ I also ordered the Fresh Foam X 860v14 for daily medium running. Hope they are good.
@@samdopkosky So the v4’s just arrived and I, literally, feel like I could walk thru 7 or 8 U.S. states with them. Amazing.
Nice video! I have the v4 in a true to size 13 and i have a wide foot and they fit great. Do you think a size 13 in the v6 will fit well?
I think since you have a wide foot the size 13 would be great for the v6

Love the v4s and have had them for a while. Do the v6s fit the same as the v4? Should I get the same exact size?
The v6 is a little bit longer than the v4. I wear the same size in both the v4 and v6 but a lot of people like to get a half size down in the v6 to get a more snug fit.
Bad idea having your shoes in clear cages next to the window. The light will fade and degrade them over time
Thanks for the heads up!
V4’s for the win but v6 for better comfort

Is V4 different from V5? But these two pairs are much more stable on the leg than V6
I agree they are a lot more stable. I will make a video on the difference and similarities of the v4 and v5
V6 Hands down.
And between the v4 and the 993?
990v4!
V3 or V4 which are better for first NB
Both are amazing shoes but, I think the 990v4 would be the perfect first NB
@@samdopkosky Thx !!
Do you have a 990vs 9060 comparison
I do not have a pair of 9060s yet but once I get a pair I will for sure make a video on them!

do V4 and v6 fit the same?

I wear the same size in vans that I do in 990v4’s so I’d say they are the same!
V4 wins BUT nothing beats the Nike Zoom Vomero 5s in terms of price and comfort

Is sizing the same?
990v6 runs a little big. If you want a more snug fit I would go a half size down. 990v4 is true to size
