993 is the best shoe New Balance has ever made. I've tried so many models of NB shoes and the 993 is the only one that fits me well. They better never stop making these. I tried wearing the 990v5 for awhile. The toe box rubbed my big toe and caused ingrown toenails, and that was in the wide width! And I don't even have a very wide foot at all. I just ordered wide because I didn't want my toes to feel crowded. 990v5 is also more shallow in the toe area than the 993. The 993 seems to be made of better materials too, that will last longer -- premium suede vs. pigskin (990v5) and better, more durable outsoles that don't wear down as fast. I'm just waiting for production to get back up to speed after all the supply chain issues, and as soon as my size is back in stock I'll be grabbing a couple more of these. Thanks for the review!
What a great video dude! Very informative👍🏽 I own both, a pair of 992(purple) and 2002r(PP raincloud, grey). Imo the 992 is a little bit more comfy. Must be the made in usa part😂 keep it up! Peace ✌🏽
I own 990 v 4 and V5 , v4 is very comfortable. I also own 993s they are slightly heavier and bit more supportive as well very comfie. It hard to find sneakers that are more comfortable. However, people with narrower or smaller feet 11 or less and d width have much great choices
Solid comparison and great video - just earned yourself a new subscriber! In my experience, i found that 990v5 and 993 are the most comfortable, 993 might be more just because it has a smoother balance of bouncy cushion and firmness. I love the 992 as well but find it a bit too soft the longer you wear them (probably the softest of all the models you compared)
Aesthetic wise I like the 993 best, however it might just be that colorway you have. That indigo is beautiful on that silhouette, unfortunately they're all sold out of all size 8.5s and 9s on all 4 colorways of the 993 hopefully they will restock sometime in the near future🤞
Dude, great video. Best kicks I've ever bought were the centennial edition 992's. Got em from the new balance outlet here in Lawrence Massachusetts. Most comfortable and longest last sneaker ever.
The 993 is definitely the most comfortable of the 990 series for me but sadly as a result of the pandemic they have discontinued narrow widths of this shoe so my size is no longer available. I bought some 990V5's as a replacement but they just aren't the same. I might try buying some women's 993s in a size 1.5 bigger to see if those might work for me better.
@@sl2608 Sadly NB has discovered they can make a lot more money making "collectable" shoes that no one will ever where than making running shoes. First they took away narrow widths and I expect wide widths will be next as more and more of their production goes to specialty collector shoes.
I run in my new balance 993's many times per week and these shoes show no wear at all. They seem to last forever like a pair of timberlands or a carhartt jacket! Love the 993
That strayrats t-shirt newground homage is amazing. New Balance 99x has been my go to line of shoes for years and I've walked around in them so much starting with the 998, 990, 997 then 990v2, 991, 993 and now 992, just got the navy 992. My favourites are 997, 998 and 992. Not 99x but the 2002r are great as well. Cheers!
993 seems to be discontinued now...I just picked up a few more on Ebay....the NB factory store that I go to no longer has any 993s for sale. Its all about the 990V5 now.
Great video, got 990v5 and 992 few months ago, and for now I love 992 a bit more too, maybe just how it looks, idk, however definitely gotta try 993 later, thanks for pushing me spending my money lol. Subscribe ☑️
Just curious what size are you in the 574? Because I’m a size 9 and in 574 my toes are like literally touching the end of the shoe but it’s not uncomfortable because they are so soft. I feel like they slip around less when I run in short dynamic movements which I like. I got the 990v5 on sale from pac sun awhile back but in 9.5. To my surprise they fit me perfectly. Now I’m wondering if maybe the 574 are actually too small and I need to wear 9.5. The 990v5 do feel kinda big but not loose. I got fitted at a running warehouse a few years back and they said in running shoes in a 9.5. Sorry for the long comment lol but I wanna know before I order the 993 👍
Btw I’m an 8.5 in Jordan 1 mids so I’m pretty confused 🤷♂️ I’m not sure if I should get the 993 in 8.5 lol. At least you said NB has a great return policy 🥳
I would have to say the 992 are very comfortable. I have to try the 993 coming from you. I have the 990v5 but it is taking me a long time to break them in.
Dope vid. I’ve got them all except 990v2. I want the classics not the “version 2” My initial favorites are 992, til I got the 993s in indigo. Those would be my favorites, but I got a size 10 instead of 9.5. The perfect fit is crucial
Thank you for answering. I do own a 997 Made in USA J crew that fits well but it's a 997 do you think 998 collabs run a tad bigger in your opinion? I'm looking to get a 998 J Crew
Really like your videos, very informative. I'm looking to visit USA towards the end of the year and wanted to know if 992 or 993 models (GR colours) are available at stores at retail price? As in UK they are not available unless you pay resale or 'out there' colours. Keep up the good work.
I have a pair of 992’s size 10 my true size but after wearing for a few hours 2-4 my toes started hurting maybe because I have wide feet , should I get a size 10.5 for the 990v3
Hi! I just got the NB 991 Anniversary as my first NB pair. I'm a true to size 10US in Nike and Adidas shoes (slightly wide feet), i got a size 10US for the 991 anniversary would that fit too small? I'm contemplating if I should've gotten a 10.5. Thanks in advance! Great vid!
may i know is there any pigskin material from this pair coz im having clash here some legit pages say yes and some say no. Same goes with peace be the journey pair.
I wonder why you did not do them cronologicly - the cushining systems change a bit every time a new model comes out. And I think it would make to most sense to go through them in that order. 998 -> (999) -> 990v2 -> 991 -> 992 -> 993 -> (990v3 and v4) -> 990v5 But apart from that great video. And make sure to get the 990v3 when they come back later this year (but go a half size up from your 992 size) ;)
Im looking forward to having 992 grey!! I want it so bad😁❤️ Just got 993 grey and super happy to wear!! So comfy and stylish!! Now waiting for 990v2 moonbeam and 992 red blue
Which is more comfy midsole wise, 992 or 993? 993 looks more comfy since the heel area is less chunky and more smooth on transitions from heel to toe off for walking.
I also can't seem to find these indigo 993's anywhere in my size 12. I found a burgundy pair which looks REALLY good. Hopefully I can snag it up this Thursday. I also seem to not find ANY videos of the burgundy 993 on youtube
They’re both really comfortable but without having them on at the same time to compare it’s a bit hard to say which midsole is better. But I’m confident that either one will be very comfortable.
Neeed my 992 in grey. Ive been putting off buying the 993 just waiting to get a 992 but now that you mention it might have to grab the 993 instead for rn. With the popularity of the 992 I don’t think they will discontinue them again any time soon. Good video bro!
for me comfort wise 990v5 is comparable to the 997 (beautiful grey) the most 2 comfortable pairs I have, after that the 1500 is followed by the 999 and 998 and the last spot goes to 1300. This is just what I have at home, I would like to try 992 or 993 (since it has more cushion than 990v5) damn new balance stole my heart and feet for years, not mentioning my money too though hahaha
991 as my all time favourite in every category. Then 993 and then 990v4/5. Wasn’t feeling the 992. Yes, 992 and up sized a little bit bigger, so 991 was a 9.5 and the 992, 993, v5 were all size 9 for me. Thanks for posting the comparison video!
Very detailed video. Appreciate the effort that went into breaking down all of these shoes. I plan on adding each model to my sneaker rotation over time.. Do you think that the 991 20th anniversary pair would be more comfortable if you went TTS?
I have the exact shoes 991 20th anniv my TTS is US11 but my right pinky toe starts to hurt after a full day's wear. My 990v5 just arrived today in TTS so looking forward to trying them on. Hope this helps.
@@son0212043531 okay, thanks for your input. By any chance, is your right foot a bit longer than your left? I have that issue sometimes. My right foot is a bit longer than my left.
@@dbluntson5243 I wouldn't say my R is noticeably longer than my L but these are the first sneakers ever to give me this minor issue. I just wear thin socks to minimise the blistering. Like many videos suggest, the toe box is a bit small but I had no choice on half sizes in my location which is New Zealand, only full sizes.
I haven't read the other comments but I have had all these NBs and agree with you on everything, but the most comfortable is the 990 v1 it is way more comfortable than any of the above 👍
@@guynkicks I've had the 991's before and I love them. But you made me really analyze the 992 and 993 differently. Your pointing out the sleakness of the 993 midsole has led me more towards that one
@@guynkicks as a NARROW footed guy, I Ordered online a Narrow Version of the 990V5. Also went down 10.5 as I’m a TTS 11 for Most other sneakers 👟. Tell me I made a right decision 🤠
Excellent video. I have a question…I recently bought the fresh foam 1080v11, how do those compare to the shoes in this video, mainly the 990v5, 992 and 993 ? I know that they’re completely different shoes with different styles…The 1080 v11 has fresh foam whereas the others don’t but I want to know if it ‘s worth buying the 990 v5, 992 or 993 if I already own the 1080 v11’s.
If you're looking for max comfort, you're better off sticking to the 1080v11 because the Freshfoam is definitely much softer than Encap. The knit material of the 1080v11 is also much more comfortable as it is stretchier and will comform to your feet better. However, 1080v11 has the generic running shoe aesthetic hence if you're looking vintage shoe, then go with the 990v5 or 992
Awesome comparison
Can we get a 2024 update? Maybe with the 2002rs, 991v2 and 9060s as well 😁

November 2021 I got the best shoes ever “993 heritage “ love it the most amazing thing is -MADE IN UNITED STATE “ 180 bucks cost
i got the 990v5, 992 and 998, but my go to is honestly the 2002r it’s got insane suede and the most cushiony.
I love the 2002R. But didn’t include because it’s not part of the 99X.

Is the suede on the NB 990 V2 better than the 990 V5? I felt the 990 V2 suede and it’s like a couch 🔥 is the v5 the same?

Seems like all the 99x series look the same just comfort is the difference

Great review, once you own one, you end up going down the checklist! Personally 997 is my favorite looking shoe and 990v3 was the most comfortable

The v3 is indeed very comfortable 🎉

Will do bro!
Does the 991 have a taller sole then the 992? Or does the 992 have a taller sole then 991? Thanks!
I believe that softer Suede on the 991 is actually pig Suede.
Great video content! I didn't hear about the sizing on the 998 how do you size for these 998s?? Thanks!
I would go with .5 size down from your regular nike. Or if you own a made in USA go with that size.

Most pairs will have pigskin. But they may use cowhide was well.

Can’t go wrong with that 👍🏼
I have a size of 11.5 and so I have to buy a 992 by half the number 11us?
Going half a size down is my suggestion.
You should give a try to the 920.

The 9's are definitely a DC staple! 999's are slickest tho! Especially among hustlers.
How did you leave them out? #99X
Funny you mention that, I totally forgot I had a pair 🤦🏻♂️
That's wild, I feel like the 998 are the softest most comfortable new balance ever. The 990v5 is firmer to me. Still comfortable. All of them.
Crazy. Lol comfort is subjective

Half size down in 991 or not ?
Do you have wide feet?
Because I have very wide feet and that sometimes is very hard to pick the right size.
Very true. I don't have very wide feet. However, some of the Made in USA you may be able to find the wide feet fit option.
You gotta wear the 991 man. Takes a while to break in
They all require a few days or weeks to break in....but they seem to last forever and feel so good!
Definitely needs to be broken in.

I own a 990v5 and 990v1 and those are 9.5. My v2 are a size 10, but for the v2 I could probably go with a 9.5 as well for a more snug fit.
Guy N' Kicks thanks man. Just got the Kith X NB in. They fit the same!!! 🙌🙌
Awesome dude! Can’t wait to get mine in 🤟🏼
Guy N' Kicks they look even better in person!!! Beautiful of feet!!
SLEEK v 5
junya wannabe !
Those olive green joggers 🔥🏆💰
Nike or new balance, which is better for all day walking for a 26 year old guy?? Help me .. I am confused..
You really can’t go wrong man. They both make great sneakers.
@@guynkicks ok. Thank you.
Very detailed video. Appreciate the effort that went into breaking down all of these shoes. I plan on adding each model to my sneaker rotation over time.. Do you think that the 991 20th anniversary pair would be more comfortable if you went TTS?
Yeah TTS. Thanks bro
I have the exact shoes 991 20th anniv my TTS is US11 but my right pinky toe starts to hurt after a full day's wear. My 990v5 just arrived today in TTS so looking forward to trying them on. Hope this helps.
@@son0212043531 okay, thanks for your input. By any chance, is your right foot a bit longer than your left? I have that issue sometimes. My right foot is a bit longer than my left.
@@dbluntson5243 I wouldn't say my R is noticeably longer than my L but these are the first sneakers ever to give me this minor issue. I just wear thin socks to minimise the blistering. Like many videos suggest, the toe box is a bit small but I had no choice on half sizes in my location which is New Zealand, only full sizes.
@@son0212043531 thank you kindly. I will take that into consideration if I get the chance to buy.
Which do you think is better for comfort for walking and standing on feet all day the 993 or 574?
993
New Balance would be smart to pin this somewhere on their website. Thanks!
@Mason 🙏🏼
I haven't read the other comments but I have had all these NBs and agree with you on everything, but the most comfortable is the 990 v1 it is way more comfortable than any of the above 👍
@Peter O’Dwyer Thanks man! I love the 990v1, but I still prefer the 992 in terms of comfort.
Hope someday you can add the 990v4. Congrats on the growing NB collection. More power to the channel.
For sure bro, I will eventually get the 990v3 and 990v4. Thanks so much for your support 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Needed this bro. Been watching your stuff a lot as of late
I appreciate it ya! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@guynkicks I've had the 991's before and I love them. But you made me really analyze the 992 and 993 differently. Your pointing out the sleakness of the 993 midsole has led me more towards that one
great video!!
try 1700 next time!
What’s your day job?
Ty man, I was going for a 991 soon and wanted to get the idea for what size to order!! Appreciate it alot!!
Go with your regular size. If you own made in USA new balance sneakers, I would go with a half size up.
@@guynkicks okay i will, thank you for the reply man and I'm looking forward to grow my own NB collection like you have 🙌🏼‼️
Hi bro, 992 or 2002R rain cloud, which i should go to first? 😁❤️🙏🏻
2002R Rain Cloud is a grail. But can’t go wrong with a classic grey 992
@@guynkicks bro i just order2002r rain cloud this morning, 316$ 😂😂
👏🏼👏🏼
just wondering for the 992 should i do a half size down for max comfort
My suggestion is yes. ✌🏼
@@guynkicks k thx bro
What pants are the one you’re wearing?
I think they’re from Topman.
Thank you!
new sub here as well, good relevant video.
Thank you!!
Are you a Wide foot guy?
No
@@guynkicks as a NARROW footed guy, I Ordered online a Narrow Version of the 990V5. Also went down 10.5 as I’m a TTS 11 for Most other sneakers 👟. Tell me I made a right decision 🤠
I think you did 🤞🏼
Great vid as always....had to come by new balance where I live but from the ones I have gotten the 999 is my favourite
999 is another sleeper. I love the pair I have. I should’ve included it in this video ☺️ I’ll probably do a stand alone review though.
@@guynkicks hehe true underrated
does the 991 have pig skin linings?
Not sure about the linings.
👍 respect
👍🏼
Really really awesome video! Thank you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wots op
Super high quality video as always 👍🏻
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I waited a very long time for this GNK
Hope it helped 😂
Great video, thanks
🙏🏼🙏🏼
how's the fit of the 991 vs 992?
@Aroon 991 has a narrow toe box compared to a 992.
Excellent video. I have a question…I recently bought the fresh foam 1080v11, how do those compare to the shoes in this video, mainly the 990v5, 992 and 993 ?
I know that they’re completely different shoes with different styles…The 1080 v11 has fresh foam whereas the others don’t but I want to know if it ‘s worth buying the 990 v5, 992 or 993 if I already own the 1080 v11’s.
If you're looking for max comfort, you're better off sticking to the 1080v11 because the Freshfoam is definitely much softer than Encap. The knit material of the 1080v11 is also much more comfortable as it is stretchier and will comform to your feet better. However, 1080v11 has the generic running shoe aesthetic hence if you're looking vintage shoe, then go with the 990v5 or 992
Great breakdown bro! Need those 992 😆
992 are great!
@@guynkicks Resell is so crazy on the 992 and not worth it for me so I just pulled the trigger on them 993 castle rock cw. 1st one in the collection
Awesome! The 993 is a sleeper and it’s a great alternative to the 992. 🍻
