My first pair of new balances ever is 991v2 and loving it ever since. Been wearing it as my daily driver. Great introduction to the brand for me. Can’t wait to get another pair of NBs
Your rankings are pretty solid man. This is obviously debatable, but the 2002r jjjjound in charcoal is up there for me in terms of wearability, lace swap with bungee lace or not, and goretex. Like when it is raining out I pop those on with no worry and goes with anything.
Jjjjound Olive 990v3, DTLR Miami Drive 990v3, JFG 993 Sage, AB 990v6 Lapis Lazuli, and JFG 990v4 Intro are probably my favorites. Definitely need those rosewaters though…
That's an extremely solid list! the jjjjound olive 990v3s are a top grail sneaker for me. Rosewaters are a must, I have been wearing my pair for 60 days straight.
😂 The v4 is the top dog of the 990s in my opinion. I think as time progresses and the more and more I wear the 990v6 I am starting to like it over the v5
@@samdopkosky as far as looks the V6 in grey works for me. I'll add em one day. The NB 1700 is my personal fave and has been for a little over 7 years now. I've seen Jaden Smith in a pair ages ago in one of his videos and he seems to have good taste in NB and is underrated in his takes. I can say with clarity the Bodega NB collab really got things in motion and had people who usually weren't interested in NB going wild for em. NB has gotten so hype you can find replicas or fakes of em when at the time of the Sean Wotherspoon airmax, first Nike offwhite collabs, fake New Balance wasn't a thing... them Bodega NB were impossible to grab at retail as those were going go be my wave runner substitute. Lately I've gone to K-Swiss specifically the SI-18 as reps of Kswiss don't exist. Sure I'll never sell my kicks... 80% of my New Balance are ross/Burlington clearance finds... most of em made in the USA too like my 1700 them were in ross... 19 beans. 🤣
Make sure you keep an eye out for the Kombu Green 991v2 mate, easily going to be the best colourway of the year 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 U991GR2!!! With love from E.Port / England ❤️
Thanks for all these vids man. Bout to cop my 1st pair of NBs (991v2 - in classic grey👟 ofc but def guna swing back after & collect some other colorways) good luck on the new move 😎
Could you make a video on how certain sneaker models fit on your feet..?(like how much space you leave in front of your toes, overall length and width of sneaker compared to your foot).
i love the jjjjound v4 and was super excited to get them but once i got them, they still look amazing but overtime i just find them a bit hard to match my outfit :/ still a dope shoe but i gotta be a bit more creative with incorporating it in my outfit
When you put up the photoshopped lapis and baklava.. I think that would be my no.1.. the blue with blue on lapis! That looks epic! If only they made it real!
Hey sam! I noticed that the insole of your jjjjound 990v4 is similar to the teddy santis’ collection…. Did you change the insole bc the usual ones (the ones I have tho) is a black insole with jjjjound printed in white. Love your vids tho!
The insoles to my jjjjound v4 are teddy Santis insoles! I bought them used off of eBay and I got a very good deal on them so for whatever reason they were just missing the original insoles which is fine with me!
Why you changing your favourite sam? last time you said it was 990 v4, is it because the comfort 990 v6 above 990 v4? i considered to pull my trigger on v4
My favorite new balance shoe of all time and in my opinion the greatest sneaker of all time is the grey 990v4. The only reason its not top five because I love the baklavas and other sneakers lol. I know that is confusing but I HIGHLY recommend you grabbing the v4, you will not regret it.
first time commenting here, your love for new balance is infectious.. the future is bright for you Sam
I really appreciate it. I feel my true purpose in life is something to do with new balance. Thank you for the support

That is the most ideal pair to start with! I am glad you are liking them!

100% mate; they’ve been my “go-to” shoes this winter here in Aus
Nice man. And, that suede is soooo buttery for goretex. Mind boggling.
I remember when those came out, I might have to go snag a pair!
I went to Action Bronson's concert in Toronto last night! Such an entertaining performer!!
Im glad you had a good time! I was supposed to go to the Columbus show on Sunday but it sadly got postponed

Those Baklavas are one of the most beautiful sneakers ever made 🤌🏼
They will forever be my favorite sneaker. A piece of art
I wanna give you a hug when you pulled out 990v4.
Years ago people newer to the brand were okay with 990v5. Personally. Im going with 990v6 over v5

Nice choices, keep it up!
Thanks!
For content... try to meet Richie New Balance. It would be worth it for a younger collector to connect with a LEGEND!!!!!
I would love to meet him and other new balance creators! Someday it will happen!

I saw a few pictures of them! Need em!

Wise words.
I am making all my friends call me young sam da poet😂
@@samdopkosky Don't limit yourself to being only a poet either!
Thanks for all these vids man. Bout to cop my 1st pair of NBs (991v2 - in classic grey👟 ofc but def guna swing back after & collect some other colorways) good luck on the new move 😎
Of course! I am glad you enjoy them. The most PERFECT first NB, enjoy them!
You gotta check that new 1906A line,got a pairs it’s dope
I’ll for sure check them out. I love the 1906r and I love that the 1906a looks deconstructed
Could you make a video on how certain sneaker models fit on your feet..?(like how much space you leave in front of your toes, overall length and width of sneaker compared to your foot).
This is a great video idea! I can for sure make that happen
@@samdopkosky that’d be amazing, cause I’ve been struggling to find my right size for certain Made models😭 thank you!
Love it bro! You get those JFG 990v6s??
I did! The review will be out soon!
Yea Grey V4s are the greatest of all time
i love the jjjjound v4 and was super excited to get them but once i got them, they still look amazing but overtime i just find them a bit hard to match my outfit :/ still a dope shoe but i gotta be a bit more creative with incorporating it in my outfit
I agree, sometimes they are a little hard to match but once you find an outfit they are perfect!
When you put up the photoshopped lapis and baklava.. I think that would be my no.1.. the blue with blue on lapis! That looks epic! If only they made it real!
Oh absolutely, same here. I hope someday if I ever get to me Action Bronson we can talk and get those shoes made!

Nobody does it like AB !
No one! He is the KING
I'm your 993rd view is this a sign that I should get some 993s?
Absolutely.
Love the passion but I cannot stand action Bronson colorways - I think they're all ass
