The 991v2 is just amazing, and probably my favorite NB right now. I bought the navy pair the moment it came out and man I don’t regret it not one bit. Also fitted them with black laces from a pair of 991v1 I own and it just gives such a clean and professional look that the included gray and navy laces just don’t deliver. If I had the black ones, I’d totally put the navy laces on it to match the Abzorb SBS pods. Anyways I’m rambling but nice collection, man. You’ve earned a subscriber in me today.
Im about to get my first 991v1. I keep hearing the sizes on these are hit or miss. But just a quick tip, i think if u put like low "elevator" music while you are talking in your vids , it would make the videos flow even better. Elliot the shoe guy does a crazy job at doing it
Very nice shoes, but personally I find them a bit heavy, especially compared to 990s. They're really ideal for lifestyle use or on feet for long hours and have amazing comfort and support, but if I know I'll be walking a lot I'd sooner wear a 990 model for the weight savings. The 991s seem super durable though, probably take a very long time to wear them out.
I really gotta pick up a V2. Been waiting for a colorway that knocks my socks off to pull the trigger cause I've got a lot of normal grey NB and I know this silhouette has so much potential for other colorways. It's really exceptional.
I 10000% agree with you that this shoe has a ton of potential for colorways. I’m really excited to see what they come up with. They royal blue colorway looks really good for the 991v2, it should come out soon
I think everything on this sneaker is perfect except the font style of the “V2” in the back. I wish it was just a simple New Balance logo or V2 in a different font style
The thing about 991v2 is its sleek design. If you are a sneakerhead you would just simply appreciate its beauty especially on the side view. Now there is the comfort factor. Combine them and they are an almost perfect shoe. I thought I like the 992 before but I like 991v2 more now.😂😊
Really hoping to catch the navy or black v2s on sale somewhere, 250 retail hurts. I've spent way too much on sneakers in the past 10 months to justify $250 on them
Been eyeing the Navy pair for a month, at first thought it was plain but it grew on me to the point that will be my first 991v2. That's not until I seen the upcoming blue/silver pair releasing next month. Those look 🔥 Have you seen them?
@@samdopkosky In my opinion you do the best reviews and helped me purchase my first pair of NBs 990v6 in grey :) ….. just purchased the 2002R jjjjound Gortex in pine for the wet and rainy days and can’t wait for them to arrive
Picked up the black pair & cant wait to get them. My first pair of 991’s. Really wanted the stone island collab. but didnt hit in those. Depending on how i like these black 991s when i get them, i just might bite the bullet and get the stone islands even though resell be annoying
The stone island 991s are so clean. I have gotten past the rage when it comes to paying resell for collab NBs, if I want it bad enough I just buy it lol which is not financially responsible
I doubt you're older than when this line came out, Steve Jobs loved of New Balance sneakers, wore 992 in his last years, but before that, he wore the 991. I went to a yard sale and found a pair of new NB 993 Pink 20th Anniversary Susan C. Komen Breast Cancer shoes, woman's but they fit & I bought them for $20, but these were made in the U.S.A., did not mind the pink color. The 991 is probably the #1 shoe advised by orthopedist to this day.
I have seen a ton of pictures of Steve Jobs rocking the grey 992 with the jeans and black turtle neck, classic. That's an insane find at a garage sale and for only $20. I can see why orthopedist would recommend the 991, it has everything!
I own both the v1 and v2. Maybe it’s just me, I felt the v1 was more comfortable. The toe box in the v2 is too narrow. For reference I own an 11.5 in both versions.

I can imagine how good the navy would look with black laces! I really appreciate your sub and support
Haven’t come around to the 991v2 since I’m still working through the 990s but this video is making it grow on me
That’s how I was, I was strictly a 990 guy and then I made a leap to the 991v2 and it was life changing lol
Try them. I can’t imagine there being more comfortable all-day/everyday sneaker
Damn bruh…I’ve been holding on from pulling the trigger. You’re a bad influence 😂😂😂
I got these a month ago and they’re currently my favourite shoes to wear!
Finally pulled the trigger on the Magnet V1. Damn it’s narrow even though I took my usual size. Is it the same for the V2s?
Convinced me. Bought the restock on NB.
Gonna be my "go to" pair for the summer.
Im glad you got a pair, enjoy them!!

I’ll have to try that out! Thanks for the tip!
Hey Sam, what do you think about the 991v2 in light grey? I found a pair online in Europe where i live and I can't wait for them to come! So stoked!
They are the perfect everyday lifestyle sneaker especially in that color way! I hope you enjoy them!

How about the size? go up for down?
I would go true to size or a half size up. I made a video on this if you want to check it out!

It really is the perfect shoe! I need to grab a pair of 992s to do a comparison!

Yeah the $250 retail really hurts the pockets lol

Navy new balances are so classic. The all royal blue 991 is absolutely stunning, I cannot wait until they come out!
@@samdopkosky have you seen style# U991 SG2 ? 😮💨
Royals are nice
Do you own any of the Gortex NB’s for rainy days, if so would be good to see something on these. If not, no worries, great content
I don’t own a pair of gortex nbs yet but they are on my list! As soon as I grab a pair I’ll do a review

@@samdopkoskyI recently bought a pair of NB JJJJound 2002r gortex in the Charcoal colorway; it’s a brilliant winter sneaker

Can’t wait for the all blue and all orange/mustard colour that’s coming soon on these
I cannot wait for these either, hopefully they keep pumping out general releases for the 991v2

@@samdopkosky great reason for some
NB’s my guy 😎
I would pick it up but there's no 4E 😢
We gotta get new balance to make a pair just for you
Grey pairs just restocked
You’re a goat for telling me
Bro. Stop. I can’t buy another pair of NB ahahaah
🤣🤣
