Need these bad. JFG just kills every project he works on, and in my opinion, this is his best one. The silhouette looks wild, materials on point, story is as fantastic as always, and the packaging is top notch. Like you said near the end, I hope Joe realizes the demand for his sneakers and can find a way to fairly release future products, though it’s not close to being his fault for technical issues on IG shop. Once again you killed the review Kari keep it up fam🙏
Thank you for walking me off a ledge. I was really frustrated with how the release went and def had my fair share of things to say but hearing you add perspective has allowed me to extend JFG some grace. Thanks bro. I was able to secure the baby shower blue joints on the IG drop thankfully and they’re just as beautiful. I have thought about using some of my shoes as trade bait to secure the penny cookies. Great review as always!
Took back to back to back Ls on both pair. Finally got the cookies today, waiting for 2 pair baby blues, all resell. They are way more comfortable than any of my 2002r pairs.
Love the story behind the shoes and always great design work from JFG. I was unlucky to have my order cancelled but I do think you’re right that he is actively working on something behind the scenes for this. I’ve noticed that he hasn’t posted anything about the release since the cancellations had gone out. I hope to see a rerelease sometime this year again and I hope it helps him get some heat off his back too.
Subscribed. Your reviews are great bro. Well spoken, well thought out and thorough, and then honest. That bit about JFG maybe not realizing how much demand there rly is cause he is a humble dude... Was some real shit. I got these for resale but they too fire. Then copped the Blue 993... Before they dropped 100 in resale and are now under retail?? Wtf? Lol anyways pc
Was skeptical about these, then saw someone wearing them in person and immediately changed my tune. These are super dope on foot This is also the correct take on JFG’s drops. He’s not NOT trying to do things right, and there’s no deliberate deceit unlike other news happening in sneakers. I absolutely believe Instagram was overwhelmed and will retool their shopping pages to do better next time
It’s insane to me that you’re in the 256 area, do you have an in person store off University or is that just your PO Box? Sorry, I’m semi new to your channel but amazing work man.
My order got cancelled for the baby shower colorway but I’m not mad at Joe. I just paid resell for them but I do hope the next pair is more accessible for the people that want them.
Tbh cali niggas this just not they vibe new balance always been an up north east coast thing like NY, Jersey, Philly, bmore , DC so u gonna be easy to cop in your area lol u lucky
@@rugerred8659 that's what I heard a lot of cats in New York and Philly Rock a lot of new balance. I also heard that they write New Balance a lot in Boston. LOL yeah I'm hella lucky these fools ain't even knowing
Very clean vid and dope shoe. I wanted these and knew I had zero chance at it so I didn’t try. Any of their drops that have a waiting line are an automatic L for me. Salty cause I’m from Chi and I love penny cookies. Keep up the dope work!
I open the box and it only took me 30sec to know they wasn’t it … loved the quality, hated the color and entire look … New Balance Bodega are the only NB I’ve had and like.
I thought it was just me. I want to like this, but I can't. I don't like the colorway at all. If it wasn't JFG, no one would cop. Outside Clothes was way way better
It’s a really dope shoe that I wanted and was happy to hit Until my order was canceled that part sucked. But it is what it is and no I’m not paying resell for any of his shoes unfortunately
I don’t understand why when people are now so pressed about new balance just because some collabs. New balance has been good for a minute but people weren’t hip until the sneaker boom during COVID. The sneaker game is so not for the love. That’s my rant for today carry on.
I had to go to stock X to get mine bro. Ordered them 2 weeks ago when they were up to about 700AUD the price has come down significantly since then but I still haven’t received them yet. The stock X tracking says it’s en route to stock X. Why does stock X allow you to post and sale things you don’t even have in hand yet?? The person I bought them for sold them for maximum coin and didn’t even have them yet?? It’s my fault. I should’ve waited. I didn’t want to miss out though and I thought the price would go up. Great reviews and story’s as usual! As far as sneaker of the year, it’s definitely up there. Along with the ALD 991s I’m also waiting to receive.
I always looked at NB as the old head shoe and even with the hype train moving in their favor I still don’t see myself buying a pair. However I do like what JFG is doing with NB and it’s dope to see folks gravitating to other brands other than the usual suspects.
Sorry but these are all hype to me, do not like them at ALL 😖 and as someone that’s been supporting JFG for years it’s been disappointing seeing the drops get increasingly ran through but I don’t blame him or the brand, there’s nothing you can do really, that’s how the shoe game goes these days
Imo accessibility does not equal profits in our country. Joe may be a good person but capitalism doesn't make room for that type of attitude, and becoming unimaginably successful, that hinges on artifical scarcity, unless you're selling pecils, or buttons.

Great story, a wise person said to me once- two lost important things are a good pair of shoes and a good bed- you’re not in one you’re in the other.

did go for the same size in these as your 2002R's ?
@@indigo3597 2002r in size 11.5 and 9060 in 11.
@@knuckleblood Gotcha, now it's time for me to pay the price. I can't say no to these.
I went TTS on these. VERY comfortable. The most comfortable shoe I own
@@knuckleblood they really run that big?

Took L’s on all boutique raffles, IG shop, and NB website. Ended up having to buy resell but damn these are beautiful, def my sneaker of the year
Hit on these on the IG drop and didn't have any issues checking out through the IG drop and happy my order didn't get canceled.
but great video bruh went in to more detail than all the others exactly what I was looking for

Dope Hat!!!

Great detailed review as usual👌🏾. Nice fitted too🔥
Wish i would've gotten the W on either colorway. The IG drop denied my card for some crazy reason smh... Those cookies are her in Indiana as well lol

Thank you so much fam!!! No I don’t have any in-person stores since I don’t sell shoes but yep that’s my PO Box!
Where did you find that hat?!
I think I found this one at a City Gear!
Good stuff, keep it up
My order got cancelled for the baby shower colorway but I’m not mad at Joe. I just paid resell for them but I do hope the next pair is more accessible for the people that want them.
I agree - it was a CRAZY drop but still worth every Penny in my opinion
Definitely in top 5 shoe of the year!! New balance running sh**... Dudes over here on my side in cali are not even on it yet they behind SMH 😂

You can’t go wrong with either one!

Sssssshhh … be quiet… our imaginations are speaking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m in the cancel boat. Still salty

Man that’s wild. Per StockX’s policy you should
Be able to cancel your order for a full refund then you can re-purchase them. Check their policies.
Great story and review as always, I'm going to the dark side (goat) lol. Stay safe and blessed

The model is terrible. I love Joe but the model is wack.
I love this new model. Who knows, maybe they’ll grow on you!
