For me the 993 is the sweet spot. Not overly squishy like a lot of modern shoes, not a hot shoe and seems to give my feet a light hug. I get no fatigue wearing these at all and they’re that perfect balance of subtle and wearable with almost anything.
Ngl I been on this New Balance trend. While this is my first time doing a collection on New Balance I usually buy running shoes all the time for working out. Even the Gel Kayanos 14 back in the late 2000’s. So far the 990 V6 are the most comfortable with the 990 V3 tied with 9060 even though fit and feel different.crazy how now you can throw pig suede and leather into a running shoe that used to be mostly mesh and recycled material.
I got my eye on the purple pair for sure. I already have the JFG Sage 993, so it's a little too similar for me but the green is still clean nonetheless.
993 is the most comfortable NB imo. I wasn't super impressed with the 990v6. The 992 fits the best for me though and has the best looks. Think overall the best package is the 993. I got the Chives, but unfortunately my pair had some wonky panels sewn in badly and NB wouldn't offer much for it - quite disappointing. On the fence if I keep them now but the cw is excellent.
@@ClownHouseProduction everyone's foot is different but for me, the toebox is shorter and slightly wider on the 993. The toebox is longer and slightly more narrow on the v6 in my opinion. I can half size down on v6 and still not too narrow. I'd say only go TTS on v6 if you have wide feet. But a lot of people go half size down on all the Made models and wear the same half size down in v6. I just find it runs long and even the NB website says the v6 runs large, whereas they don't say that on other made models
@@beegees333 993 fit recommendation from NB says to size down (It's on the women's pair.) In general 990s & 993 are a tad bit longer but some of us are TTS across the board.
is it just me or do these fit snugger than other models? I had to change insoles on the chive to make them wearable and they still aren't perfect, the beef n broccoli ald 993's are my most comfortable shoe in my collection but these defiantly fit differently, in a bad way. I had a similar issue with the military blue 4's but an insole swap from some old 10's made them comfy. Has anyone else has this issue with these 993's or newer shoes in general?
Good review on both pairs. I think that the interstellar pair may get discounted at some retailers and I’ll be able to pick them up then, at least I hope they do lol 😅. I got the chive pair and can’t wait to wear them on my Paris vacation next month. ✌️
I was so close to picking up the chives but decided to pick up the cactus flee market white Air Force ones instead. Af1s are my fave Nike ever, however I may regret that. However, f*** it, I’ll take a dent in my wallet and maybe I’ll pick these up too, and the oat milk Hokas.
@@JoshDominicthank you. My feet are used to very comfortable ASICS and New Balances, so they unfortunately feel quite uncomfortable in comparison to those. Will probably be my last pair of AF1s. The side panel lettering also makes them slightly more chunky, which I’m not sure I’m a fan of.
I don't get the hype with these 2 colorways. Also I can't justify the retail price, "Made In USA" is purely marketing for sure. Anyways, good review as always!

Just what I needed hear to buy these bad boys

The v6 and 990s are mainly for lifestyle purpose that’s why they have those materials

yea dont need the green if you already have the JFG
Great review! Can’t wait to cop the purple 993
Haven't seen the chives in hand but I saw the purple ones it was an instant cop
Please 993 vs 2002r which are more supportive for the feet after break-in?
I prefer the 990v4 plum purple because I like hairy suede.
Nice, didn’t pull the trigger on the 990v4s because it was shaggy. Now these purple 993s are 🔥🔥🔥
I personally like 993 more than 990v6. Specially my JFG 993’s are awesome and my favorite shoes.
990v4 or 993 for comfort and fitting?
993

Really dig the chive colorway, but feel 993s look too chunky on my feet
I just copped the Purple joints 🔥🔥💯
I go TTS on all models except v6 have to half down bc so long
How does the 993 fit compared to the v6? Is 993 shorter?

I need a link for those blue jeans you be wearing

Enjoy Paris. Check out my Paris vlog if you looking for places to visit
I'm not a purple guy but those are dope.
im torn between these and the 990v4 olive incense
993 or 990v6?
Comfort wise I’ll take the v6 but 993s are close
Will you review the Puma x Skepta when they come out??
Ill try to get one
You can’t go wrong with New Balance. FIRE SHOES. Done with Nikes crappy quality and high prices.
Your TTS might be a true half down

Congrats on the CPFM AF1s I wish those released in Europe

I’m loving the interstellar model. I think it’s cooler than the green one 💯
They are loud but nice
Looks similar to the 990v2
Purple rocks
Yeeee JD
Is everyone just gonna ignore the fact that you don't know what a chive is?
I love chives wym ? 🤣
I wish my purple pair came with purple laces 😢
yea that would have been nice tbh
I disagree with the 993 being comfortable. Takes a while to break in for me and when they do they feel basic IMO. BUT these colors are beautiful
These seem already broken in for me from the start
Compared to NB, Nike's sneakers are like plastic garbage.
💯

I don’t think 100% of the shoe is made in USA but the majority is
They are super nice. But I would not wear a show where I am showing that flag 😅
This model is very similar to the 2002r
