went on a trip to tokyo walking around for 2 weeks in the 990v6 and my feet was never sore. highly recommend that shoe for constant traveling and walking around. however, i do love the look of the 991v2 and will definitely cop a pair! thank you for comparing the two and sharing your video and thoughts!
The 991v2 is just a good looking silhouette on and off foot. I'm sure the 990v6s are comfy on foot, but I just don't like the look of them. Thanks for the review.
The 991v2 might be my favorite New Balance design. The UK team really outdid the US with this one. With that being said, I have a good feeling that we'll see a 992v2 in the near future.
Hey Hes! I don’t know why the GR 991v2 doesn’t have the Uk flag at the back but the stone island pair I have has the flag. Hopefully they do the other colorways with the UK Flag
I bought the 990V5 in grey and loved them and then bought the 990V6 navy blue and love them. So comfortable with great support and you can buy in size and width. I wear a 11 1/2 EE a perfect fit for me. I would highly them.
I find the upper more comfortable / shaped to my feet on the OG 991. The heel softness is obviously more comfortable on the 991v2 but it's minimal, esp compared between 990v5 and v6. v6 is a huge difference.
Great comparison brother, have you done a comparison between the 990v6 vs 1906 models? I hear the 1906 are very very comfortable. Im just wondering which one is the MOST comfortable of the 2 🤔 Also without considering the hype i would say the 990v6 takes the cake , however the back view of the 991 looks way cooler! Im wondering what a top down view looks like of both
I usually wear a Men’s US 10.5 in New Balance 990v3. For the 991v2 I tried on a US10.5Men’s in the New Balance store and they were too long for my feet. I found that a half size down to size 10 in the 991v2 fit perfectly for me.
Thank god for this video, I almost bought the V2 but thanks to your comment about the tongue (I hate it when my pants get caught behind it like with the 2002 protection packs) and I think I will fork over an extra 100 and go for a JJJJound 991.
What colors will be expected for the 991v2? Visually they are so much better than 990v6. But I have enough NB greys for now For my feet the 990v5 is really not great. My foot shape just doesn't go well in it. The v3 on the other hand is mad comfortable to me.
I've had all the 900 series shoes. The 993 is the most classic, best fit, best physical look and best leather pattern. Once you wear these? You will NEVER want to buy anything else. These feel like custom made shoes for YOUR feet. ($220)
I think they’re both awesome pairs, in the classic NB gray specifically I definitely think the 991v2 looks better. I’m gonna try and grab the stone island collab on secondary market now that the prices seem to be dropping slightly 😅
Best part of your video, "doesn't men you are the best person outthere because you are wearing a $200+ pair of shoes". Learnt this from life. My interest is primarily one of health necessity nowadays...
990V6 is more all around shoe. You can wear for travelling and use it at every time eventually also at the gym away from home. 991 is more dressy, less all round and more winter shoe due to the more suede. If I have to choose only one model I would go for 990V6 because is a 360degress shoe.
$250 in the uk made in the uk, $150 in the U.S., because they love to overpay their employees to get that "free" healthcare. Heigher taxes, $8-$10 for a gallon of gas.
Before I even watch this are you even mention the sizing for the 991v2s? Or are you gonna forget about that important detail just like you did for your review of the v2
Lmao ok savage, assuming u May already know the answer.. how do the 991v2s fit? This will be my 1st NB pair purchased so I don’t have much reference in that brand although I’m typically size M10.5
Thanks for watching! If you want to cop the 990v6 or 991v1, both are in stock, link in description!

Did you cop? Are they as comfy as the 990v6??
991 are in a league of their own. The profile /
silhouette and materials in IMO are among the best of any brand there’s ever been. A classic.
Nice video comparison. Just bought the 991v2. Love the extra suede.
Always love how humble and real Hes is

Mmm they both different. Both looks great on foot regardless of your fit.

I'm size 12 ¿what size I choose in nb 990 v6? Thank you sir
Update: I copped the 991v2 in Navy. Thanks for the comparison, Hes 😎👍🏼
TTS?

I do own 1906r which I bought first and later on bought 990v6. Atm I do own 2 pairs of 990v6 and in my opinion they're way more comfier than 1906r.
The 991v2 has been removed from the site, do you think they are in the midst of restocking them?
I'm half size down in 990v6, would the 991v2 be TTS or half size down as well?
Need this answer
I usually wear a Men’s US 10.5 in New Balance 990v3. For the 991v2 I tried on a US10.5Men’s in the New Balance store and they were too long for my feet. I found that a half size down to size 10 in the 991v2 fit perfectly for me.
i love the 990v3 the most i hope they make a new version of those
I'm loving the 991v2, the only downfall for me is the large branding on the tongue... I'd also like a different color.
Thank god for this video, I almost bought the V2 but thanks to your comment about the tongue (I hate it when my pants get caught behind it like with the 2002 protection packs) and I think I will fork over an extra 100 and go for a JJJJound 991.
My 990v5 outsole came off after 3 months of using it daily to commute to office and home. Maybe i got a bad pair.
Hey just compare 1080 v13 with fresh foam x more v 4
For my pinky toe to not be smashed I need the 6e which the 990v6 actually comes in. It's rare to find a shoe that is wide enough for me.
The Fuelcell Supercomp trainer v2 is on sale right now.
991v2 looks better but the 990v6 is starting to grow on me.
What colors will be expected for the 991v2? Visually they are so much better than 990v6. But I have enough NB greys for now
For my feet the 990v5 is really not great. My foot shape just doesn't go well in it. The v3 on the other hand is mad comfortable to me.

991v2 are my favorite

Can you review the 5740 series? I love mine
I don’t see the v2 at all on new balance anymore
The navy one just came out today. Go get it!
I don't like the blue "fuel cell" pods on the outsole. It makes the whole thing look kind of cheap. Gives me hospital vibes.
Best part of your video, "doesn't men you are the best person outthere because you are wearing a $200+ pair of shoes". Learnt this from life. My interest is primarily one of health necessity nowadays...
991 is the OG.
991v2 wins the aesthetic category. The small N logo fits it perfectly. The 990v6 is too athletic / sporty for me in terms of looks.
First comment! Good job hes, always enjoy your uploads
so confusing. you are comparing two 991s in the video
Hey hes... asics nimbus 26 pre-order is up now just so you know 😏
Best models are
991
990 v6
990 v3
990V6 is more all around shoe. You can wear for travelling and use it at every time eventually also at the gym away from home. 991 is more dressy, less all round and more winter shoe due to the more suede. If I have to choose only one model I would go for 990V6 because is a 360degress shoe.
Anyone else think the 991v1 looks so much better than the v2?
I definitely prefer the 990v6
I prefer Made In Vietnam, same but 100 bucks cheaper

NB’s best release this year. Navy’s will be droppin soon and that will be autocopped
Before I even watch this are you even mention the sizing for the 991v2s? Or are you gonna forget about that important detail just like you did for your review of the v2
