You can actually lace them 3 different ways. The way it came, then laces on top of the middle lace stay, and also using the lace holes they punched out between the lace tabs.
Great review bro ! I still waiting on my Jfg and they should be coming very soon . Also I’m looking forward to more colorways coming out and the collaboration with ALD
I lucked up with the JFG Pink mint cw for this model and I got this cw as well. Really loving it so far and looking forward to future cw’s. This MAY be my favorite NB model for the time being lol.
Love the look of the model. Unfortunately livin in Vegas as hot as it is, just not made for the summer wears. Been in shorts and t’s since top of April. Def a fall/winter shoe IMO. Dope pair tho
Man I really love these but I’m legit at the point where copping more pairs is just ridiculous lol- prob have 20 pairs of NB I haven’t even had a chance to un-DS yet, plus I been hearing these make your feet warm and I already live in Florida (unfortunately) so I feel like that’s not a good mix. PLUS imo these look 100x better with pants than shorts so that just limits me even further with the wear I’d get out of them as much as I like them. On the other hand I did cop the t-500 and that’s the PERFECT summer pair for shorts or pants and I absolutely love them- been wearing them like every other day lol. Hoping to see more varieties of those soon….still want to grab these so badly but dayum. What to do 😂
I love NB 990s, 2002rs, 574 and 327's but I just can't get behind the metallic look that's currently trending. I'm glad people are getting into the older styles but this one in particular just isn't for me
You know what my biggest issue is, we’re allowing brands to produce less quality products but the prices are still high. I like the trend, but high quality suede and leather always wins.
@@guynkicks 100% agree. The majority of my collection is leather and suede. (Mostly in earth tones as well) Although I did cop the vegan 990 V5's because I liked the grey color way better than the og suede V5 and whatever they did with the vegan version was dope af
I’ve been in the circle since the old David Z store used to be on Broadway in NYC and the original 990. Not a fan of the shape of this one. We need more UK 991v2’s with interesting color ways at a slightly cheaper price.
When you look from the top I can feel AM95 vibe here
Yeah!!
i haven't been excited about sneaker culture period but these are a must
Diggin the new format with the overhead camera angle 👍👟
Thank you! I hope most people like it. 🙏🏼
best cw so far, I am personally waiting on the green ALD's
You can actually lace them 3 different ways. The way it came, then laces on top of the middle lace stay, and also using the lace holes they punched out between the lace tabs.
Yup, you have options.
Great review bro ! I still waiting on my Jfg and they should be coming very soon . Also I’m looking forward to more colorways coming out and the collaboration with ALD
Yeah that rumored ALD collaboration is the one that I’m looking forward to the most.
I rock with this model. Managed to cop this colorway and the black ice JFGs.
I lucked up with the JFG Pink mint cw for this model and I got this cw as well. Really loving it so far and looking forward to future cw’s. This MAY be my favorite NB model for the time being lol.
Glad you copped 👏🏼
Nice review. I got my pair from stock x a few days ago for a good price. I’m loving them, very comfortable!
Thanks bro! Yeah they’re pretty good.
It got AM95 and AM97 mix vibes. Definitely not everyone cup of tea, but it’s not bad imo 🍻

I can see that for sure
Idk if I’ll be able to rock these during hot summers in south Florida. I like them though. They remind me of the 95/97’s which I like
Yup pretty much what they remind me as well. Also the air max TN plus in a way.
Why not? Seems like a lot of mesh. Not to mention there's a lot of cloudy days in our south Florida summers
Excellent review. That's the only color I like in that model. Appreciate you.
My guy! 🫡

I hear you on that. 🤣 Maybe wait for more summer friendly CWs. Or cop these for the fall/winter.
I'm nervous to get them because it seems like they're long yet narrow, ugh! I like the color and model!
Hopefully you can find them siting somewhere for you to try. Seems like smaller sizes are sitting.
Excellent review, as usual
Thanks my dude!
Air max 95 vibes from that top-down view! Excited to go for this rerelease debut colorway!
Yes I agree! I forgot to mention they also look like an Air Max Plus TN.
🗣Dope review
Thanks bro!
This feels like NB answer to the air max 97
Agreed!

@@guynkicksabsolutely my thoughts to the Y2K sneakers..
Have you seen them with the laces going over the tongue completely instead of the lace holes? Feel like that could look good too
I actually haven’t might need to look into that lol.
Must cop 🔥
The on foot 🔥
🫡🫡
Like then nice I need a pair 🔥🔥
I like theses 1000 Metallicas.
They’re definitely nice
looks really good on feet
Yes!
I haven't been excited for a New Balance release for quite some time now and will pick these up when release.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This was sold out in 30mins on Canadian site dunno what he was on about...
What’s the website to order
These just dropped this 7 am Pacific time. Honestly dope shoe but not for me! I slept on these today
Nothing wrong with that 👍🏼
They’re ok. Nice vid
🙏🏼🙏🏼
How do they fit, true to size????
True to size is definitely the safe bet.
How would you compare sizing with 990v6?
I rock a 9.5 in 990v6 but went with a 10 on the 1000.
“One of the most anticipated…” Come on son. 😂
You don’t think so? Within New Balance circles? lol
I’ve been in the circle since the old David Z store used to be on Broadway in NYC and the original 990. Not a fan of the shape of this one. We need more UK 991v2’s with interesting color ways at a slightly cheaper price.
I agree with you on that!!
Have you worn this regularly? Would it be better to go .5 size down (break in?) or go TTS?
If you prefer a more snug fit then consider half a size down from like a made in Asia NB.
@@guynkicks how are the fitting now since you’ve had them? Have they gotten looser (heel slippage?)
@mikeperp No heel slippage. Fits about the same.
How warm is it? Are they wearable through spring/summer?
Not the most breathable that’s for sure.
I gots mines 👌
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥 Size similar 992?
I rock a 9.5 in the 992 and with these I went with a U.S. 10. However, I could probably be able to rock a 9.5 for a more snug fit.
Too metallic for my taste. Wish they'll tone it down a bit just like the ASICS Gel-1300 pair.
I just can't get w the off white sole
Thats what makes the whole shoe come together for me haha. If it was a super white sole I prob wouldn’t dig them near as much 😂
Nike Air Max 97?
Similar vibes.
These kinda look like the air max 95 😅
Definitely do lol
Just a feedback bro. You have terrible lighting
Noted lol
