    For all-day wear, almost nothing beats the 990v3 and 990v4 for me. It's not about super-squishy cushioning, it's just the right support and structure for all day. Glad to see you in some USA New Balance!

      @@Rob.28 with the older 990 versions its usually a sizeing issue , you may need to go up a half size or grab a wide in certain models . im an 11 in most nbs but in 550 om 11.5 and the 2002R im a 12 . 990v6 im 11.5 but my pinky toe could use a little more room or i can break the shoes in with double socks

    @joshhutton9534 10 месяцев назад +46

    Love seeing these on the channel.
    v3 and v4 are still my favorite is the 990s, but the v6 is growing on me. And for someone that praised Jordan 3s and 4s for their neutral comfort, I'm surprised you don't find those as comfy. I've always called them a great neutral comfort shoe. All day wear with no worries.

    • @WearTesters
      @WearTesters  10 месяцев назад +16

      I call Jordan 3 & 4s bricks. Not sure how that’s misconstrued into praise. When someone says “NB are so comfortable.” Then I’m expecting something so comfortable. Not a brick. If we’re talking comfort then go with V6. If you want something neutral then go with the older versions. I thought I explained it well enough but maybe I didn’t.

    Chris. I shifted to new balance starting from 2018 and I can tell you the magic of its comfort is all about longevity. V3,V6 is my fav in the lineup. If you have to walk all day, you will be amazed by these, less soreness on your feet compared to other shoes. Even the boost.

    Jordan Brand offers high price, poor quality and it' s been a very long time that we didn't witness a model we could expect to be iconic for the next decades. Actually, except the AJ17, everything JB produces since the AJ 15 isn't interesting from what regards Design. For Innovation, Jordan is still in the game ... but the brand is not anymore alone on the top of the mountain as they use to be in the late 90s. Those last yaer, JB became the less interesting sneaker brand of the game. At contrary, NB continues slowly but surely his road to the top and Adidas will rapidly fall in the 3rd place

  • @torosammy
    @torosammy 10 месяцев назад +2

  • @veryproudfatherTN
    @veryproudfatherTN 10 месяцев назад +2

    I’d WAAAY rather pay New Balance a premium price for a sneaker that’s actually made well with premium materials than pay Nike for unpredictable and mediocre/crappy materials and unpredictable quality from China or Vietnam. I own lots of Nike’s… but are always happier with the quality and comfort of New Balance.

  • @issaclassic7
    @issaclassic7 10 месяцев назад +7

    I got a pair of the 990v4. They’re firm but extremely supportive over a long day. They’re great for long wears because they hold up. Lots of shoes end up wearing out after being on your feet all day but these are absolute tanks.

    Your statement in the opening about the sizing- I felt in my soul. I really want to dive into their products/ but sizing is so wonky and price is so high it’s an actual risk.

    • @ctankep
      @ctankep 10 месяцев назад +1

      I really recommend trying them on in store ..
      Do not listen to the advice about going half - size down or whatever. There is no general rule of thumb for " NB " sizing because they can't even produce the same models in the same size across their US / UK / Vietnam factories. The " U990GT4 " and " U990GRY " which are both 990 V4s don't even fit the same. The former is about 1/4 size larger than the latter ...

    NB All Day Jordan Brand is stale IMO. NB's are way more comfortable and they don't skip on materials and their QC is sooooo much better. 990 V3,4,5,6, 2002R, 992,993, even 991 are dope do a deep dive man do a deep dive.

    1500's also sit nice on foot, amazing colorways and the packs have amazing quality. I know J are the hype but NB blows them away, V6 color you have is fire, look great on-foot. With pricing they are made in the USA and that cost more, unlike a Jordan 4 px @ $220 made by a 6 yr old in Asia. Just saying

  • @blahfever7186

  • @bobfreking
    @bobfreking 10 месяцев назад +1

    I wonder why you don't find them comfortable. Maybe you prefer the firmness and stability of basketball tech?
    Running shoes have softer cushion, which is great but is less stable so they're not great for standing long hours, then there's most NB shoes where they strike that nice balance between stability and cushion, plus the materials are so quality, firm yet breathable.

    • @ianturnbow7011
      @ianturnbow7011 10 месяцев назад

      Models like the 990v3 and 990v4 balance stability with comfort. People say the heel of the 990v5 feels like a brick or the 990v2 is too firm. The firmness is definitely better for all day wear after breaking in and longevity compared to Boost or React tech.

  • @veryproudfatherTN

    New Balance sneakers are crazy fire. Quality, comfort, fit and finish, etc. and American made. Just copped the 2002R in the, “Tobacco” color way… and the, “Castlerock” color way. Couldn’t be happier. Good looking and insane comfortable.

  • @adamani08
    @adamani08 10 месяцев назад +1

    I've been wearing new Balance for years. And I think it's funny how people are coming around to them now. New Balance has been making comfortable and good quality sneakers for a while now. With good materials And it took a bunch of collabs for the sneaker community to start riding the wave. Many of their shoes are so comfy. And you can beat them up. My kids especially my daughter used to give me crap about wearing my new balances out in public during family outings. Because I own a ton of J's and Air Max. Many of which are still DS. but i am sometimes more interested in being comfortable than being stylish. But now my kids have come around. They wear NB's now, and my wife does too. It's funny how young people follow trends. But I will say this. I am always looking for sales. Because it is still hard for me to pay Air Jordan prices for NB's. I like them a lot. but not enough to pay over $200-$250. But to each their own.

  • @thedrizzle1978
    @thedrizzle1978 10 месяцев назад

    Style & design of NB"s arent touching earlier model J's (1-6, 10-13) to me. Rock my 992' usa joints occasionally though. Quality is easily above J's though to me.

  • @sathirakatugaha974
    @sathirakatugaha974 10 месяцев назад +1

    I have the 990v3s, v4s and v6s and I get the whole the v4 doesn't feel that comfortable compared to the v6 thing, but you have to wear it all day to feel it. The firmness on the v4s as well as the v3s keep the blood flowing in your feet and you just won't feel very much fatigue at all after a long day. Definitely life test them if you get the chance

  • @jrompolo5264
    @jrompolo5264 10 месяцев назад +2

    when i was younger, it was all Nike or Adidas only. but now im older, and watching a lot of shoe review channels, i started trying out other brands. particularly, with New Balance, since they are so good on feet. i do agree with the sizing. I'm a size 10 usually (Nike, UA, BrandBlack, etc), but with NB, i usually get sz9.5, or i even get down to sz9 on some models. very good quality and always on sale.

  • @cmtphysiques
    @cmtphysiques 10 месяцев назад +1

    The thing with NB comfort is not just softness. It read it that way at the start myself, but learned squshiness gets tiring after a lot of hours on your feet. My 1080v12 are a pillowy delight, but for 3+ hours my v3s are superior. Note I only "got into" NBs after a bad leg injury though I grew up with them in MA, so no bias here.

    @FreshYoungDude 6 месяцев назад

    I think when people talk about the comfort of the 990v3-v5 isn’t really referring to cushiness as much as it is zero fatigue. Everyone’s feet are different but generally the shape of the midsole disperses nice and evenly across your whole foot. I stand 8-9 hours a day at work and have ZERO fatigue. It’s pretty amazing!

    I've tried the 2002R,990v3,990v4,990v5. So far the v5 have been my favorite due to the absolute crazy comfort and looks! I think what many people overlookil is the fact that it blurs the lines between "the streets" vs "the suburbs. You can't really tell what kind of person is rocking these , and it makes it that more interesting to see the mystery. But ur an OG Knightwing, and i recently came up on some new balance 2000 special edition in purple. Ive dont a small bit of research, but this discontinued model use to be top of the line for street wear back in the day.

    My opinion about the v6 is they feel so bouncy on the feet. They kinda overdid it and wearing it for non running purposes kinda awkward. Besides it being too functional they are perfect in every way. The looks are astounding.

    At a size 12.5 with a narrow foot, I’ve never found a NB that hits me right but always appreciated their style going back to the 90s. Definitely nice to see them well respected in the sneakerhead community, not just collabs. I’ve been rocking with Saucony a lot recently, for many of the same reasons: quality to match the price and classic yet distinct styles.
