These are one of Jjjjounds best and affordable collabs. It’s funny because most of the shoes in your background are loud and have a certain aesthetic. These are subdued with sleek color contrast and accents. JJJJound is very minimalist and has a following like everything else. Shit is worth what your willing to pay if you actually LIKE something because YOU like it. I would never pay for 90% of JJJJOUNDS because the prices are ridiculous to me..but I like these enough and the price wasn’t that bad. But I would never ever ever pay for some “chunky dunkys” or “union dunks”🤣🤣🤣. I never consider hype only what I like and how much is available. People will like what they like…there is nothing to figure out.
@@757CitiesReppa I think it's a scammer anyways. I highly doubt Hes is gonna scroll through YT comments selecting "Winners" when there wasn't any giveaway/contest smh. Just like how they do with FAKE Seth Fowler accounts.
JJJound colorways are based more on timeless simplicity than a timeless colorway. Like how many shoes have you seen in this colorway and how widespread something like this is. Due to its simplicity it becomes timeless.
I think these are alright. I wish the midsole had some more visual contrast with white or cream, it’s extremely dark and can’t see it being more than a fall/winter shoe.
I really love this colorway but I wish it was one of the default colors when buying a 990. Some of these collabs feel like they're just making up for the company not providing neutral colorways that people will like, and same goes for a lot of Asics collabs. Kinda wish companies would provide a full range of neutral / semi-neutral colors by default and then the collabs can go wild with the design instead of the way it works now. Edit: to be fair, New Balance 990 series does provide good neutral colorways, but I feel like this color would be a better navy / dark navy than the one NB already has. Maybe I'm just being cheap and want a cheap version of this shoe :P
Why is the regular 990v4 black so hard to find reviews on? I see it on goat for 400 and im curious if it’s real? I found a person selling a pair for 140
maybe timeless is the wrong word lol but who knows. Also, I was able to get some black 550's after seeing them on one of your videos. Love the channel bro!
I quite like these shoes and I am not looking for over the top clown collab all the time … however I feel they a little overpriced on the resell market these days ( around 400€)
Don’t know why exactly, but every time I hear you read promo material about the products you review, I skip ahead in the video. I can lookup that stuff online if I want to. Do you really need to do that? I otherwise enjoy your content Hes! Keep it coming!
so I tried the novablast 2 very disappointed in those. Tried 1080 v12 didn't like those either. so went back to my rebel V2 and can't find anything close to those as far as comfort. can't wait for the v3 in September. can't buy Nike Flyknit or adidas since neither one has a ee version like new balance . anyone know a more comfortable show with better wear them the rebel V2 please let me know.
That's my problem I need 14 4e's to fit my true to size. I bought a pair of air force ones because everyone said they ran big. This is total BS I found out.
I mean JJJJound isn’t really a brand is it? It’s pretending to be by just ‘curating’ other peoples stuff, but that’s not really it for me. Anyway, the brown version looks okay, but for me a New Balance better have some gray suede on there or it doesn’t really resonate. Good review as always Hes.
I have this pair months ago, but obviously its not worth the more and more ridiculous price. cool grey colorway is just good enough. personal opinion, being hype or being fashion is not supposed to be NB's thing. btw, best 99x for me is 991, 2002r is a joke.
I dont understand the hype on these at all. These are LITERALLY a GR new balance shoe with a name slapped on. Cant even make a different colorway? Like come on, 100 percent not worth it.
Guys, I didn’t know JJJJ until this crazy buzz on the shoes alongside other now well established collabs (JFG, Bodega, etc.). It may not be their primary goal, but JJJJ shoes look actually most appropriate for suits (especially dark colors) since they’re kinda neutral/dark always. Kith also, but you have a tea spoon of light with the white color presence, anyway same vibe. Not like JFG that smells more like sun and beach. Same shoes different occasions actually. But don’t get me wrong, I agree on the fact that the colorway could have easily been a general release by NB itself. But who knows what cause JJJJ supports in the background. That’s where we have to investigate to understand the price tag on those, and where the money ends 😅
I love that colorway lol blue and black traditional af he acting like they was neon green lol and how he know what jjjjound colorways should be if he just reading about them lol weird review
There’s nothing fancy about that color blocking, certainly nothing fancy about it. He just has a lot of marketing bullshit and gobbledygook‼️ A lot of designers have a self important attitude‼️ I think the colors of indigo blue and black go the well together. But I think that the Adidas 4DFWD did the deep indigo blue and black better‼️

Thanks but this is the most “social media” that I do, for the most part. No, tik tock,, instagram, or none of that.

Must be Timeless because it look almost like the black Gore-Tex FILA I got from Costco for $35.00 over seven years ago.
This is exactly why I don't buy New Balance. They all look like the same stuff you can buy at Costco for around $50.
haha but for real Gore-Tex Fila for $35 sounds amazing haha
😂
@@beachcity562 wow!
@@michaelpalm2210 no Gore -tex fila for me...new balance starting summer on good note

I love these! Definitely one of JJJJOUND slept on collabs. They look better with the elastic laces alot more rugged

Bro! Love how the intros match the brand your bout react to.
It's the subtle dopeness. These are hot man, they will grow on you!
Hey just got this I'll hyu stat
Why is the regular 990v4 black so hard to find reviews on? I see it on goat for 400 and im curious if it’s real? I found a person selling a pair for 140
Same here, been trying to find the 990v4 black review. And so far I think it’s the most closest colorway to the jjjjound collab
Navy is one of new balance og colorway which is probably why jjjjound went for this.
maybe timeless is the wrong word lol but who knows. Also, I was able to get some black 550's after seeing them on one of your videos. Love the channel bro!

Do you use the Rebel V2 for a running shoe or just casual everyday wear for comfort?

Why are they $165 in the us but $235 in Europe??
$265 in the US. He made an error.

They're shoes it's really not that deep dude lol
You forgot the 4th J in Jound on ur title
They look amazing man, very wearable
You missed a "J" in your title lolol
They look like normal New balances to me
These are better but I honestly hate the brown with black soles version. It's the only sneaker I've ever had a visceral dislike for. Just no.
I love that colorway
lol blue and black traditional af he acting like they was neon green lol and how he know what jjjjound colorways should be if he just reading about them lol weird review
There just taken the pisssssss cause there's people will pay the price
bots trying to scam in the comments
Absolute miss of a shoe
💜💛
lazy collaboration imo
I feel the same. The Olive and cream with that black N logo was so good that now I expect that level of color blocking with every JJJound collab
💀
🤔 nothing special
First
this my least fav jjjound nb collab. not jjjound's best work imo. colourway is bad
Totally forgettable‼️👎🏼
ugly hot looking shoe. live in Florida would never wear a suede shoe down here.
😂😂😂Florida 😂😂😂
👎
to be totally honest, the colorway does not work, and this collaboration is overrated
😮 Garbage
