Have the jfg black ice got um for cheap on stock x and they are 🔥! I went true to size they do run a little big but I rather have room in the toe box though so it’s all good.
I have a black 580 and white 9060. Yesterday I ordered the white 1000 ALD on their website as soon as they launched! Might be my holy grail as it's an in between of both my current shoes
I copped the ALD grey pair. I saw it in hand, and saw that it has the classic new balance grey color seen in the 990s, with subtle details like "teeth" patterns behind the patent leather seen in the shoes. Happy to just have this and JFG black pair for this model.
Wow, I initially also thought these were underwhelming; however, after seeing them with the patent leather and on your feet Josh they’re not bad; however, it’s not something I would wear often so I think you’re right one and done with this model!
I managed to score an offer for the skepta-like JFG colorway on ebay for $185 I also like these black ald’s but I feel you on really only needing one colorway of this model, and rn i’m really not crazy about any released colorways either, think when we get more general releases they’ll start playing with more material options.
I think it's insane such a basic colorway is not gonna release for retailers, sucks we only have the silver one for now. Hoping they make a black 1000 pair that is not ALD, with this colorway they are at the top of the black sneaker rankings for me but 220 is kinda crazy esp when they look like the materials are nothing special. Also hoping to see more colorways, I think they can go further with it. the 860 has so many colorways and it feels so underwhelming...have not seen anyone wearing it
I have the Grey/Silver and black pair and they are the best New Balance I have ever owned. I live in the city and walk everywhere and they are unbelievable. People stare all day every day when I wear them. Some of the silhouettes you guys love are trash to me. Especially the 9060, 1906r looks like a loaf of bread and the 2002r are nursing home sneakers. Cozy fits aren’t the only style in life. The reason Nike is still winning is because you can wear their shoes with any outfit. New Balance is basically sweat outfit options. You can actually dress up the 1000s a lot more.
Got the grey pair and not for me at all. Shape is too long, the patent leather isn’t for me, and overall the ALD photos got me caught up. Over to eBay.
Bro. In ALD website it says they are made from premium leather upper. Patent leathers are not always made from fake leather. It can be plastic or it can be real leather with high gloss plastic coating. So please check again whether they are otherwise.
only the laces are nice lol all the shiny garbage on it just makes it look cheap and it literally is cheaper to use that kind of material too sooooo lol everyone got played over paying for a "collab" with GR materials lmao !!!!!
After releasing banger after banger, NB finally offered something to be ignored. Feels like they brought these back for the sake of being unpredictable. Not for me.
Nothing special imo 🤷🏻♂️ I wonder when these brands will actually come up with something new again (I know, I have to look outside of the mainstream brands).

I got the jfg 1000s “black ice” and I can’t wait to wear them in the fall 🔥🔥

thats a really good price
Thanks for the vid Josh🔥
Nice review - did you get those clot x adidas gazelles by chance - would like to hear your take.
Yes I did and they are amazing
I get my Angora w/Moonrock & Almond Oil tomorrow. I can't wait to rock them. BTW, I thought the Black 1000's looked dope on your feet.
I didn't expect to like the GR but I've enjoyed wearing them. Good daily driver.
I would suggest these 1000 models to everyone, they're super comfy.
Have a pair of JFG's on there way to me. I really like the looks of these (ALD and JFG) but we will see once I have them in hand.
seems like this model is really a hit or miss with consumers, no in-between
Are they true to size?
Sorry, we need light breathable summer shoes please 😊❤
not the most breathable
I need to see them in person

I'm waiting until the Angorra Moonrock release
Just copped those!!! They are in stock at certain retailers right now
I got a W for white pair from the ald raffle but took and L for these black .

That lace setup is an obvious copy of the 95s imo, there is no way they did not copy Nike
Can't wait new balance drop general release of this colorway next year 😂 like they did with Carhartt colorway
yea they literally made a knock off GR carhartt
Got the grey pair and not for me at all. Shape is too long, the patent leather isn’t for me, and overall the ALD photos got me caught up. Over to eBay.
hehe yea can't lie the photos of these made them look way better
I think these are hideous. The model regardless of materials. Im not a fan of the panels
Let’s hope they don’t get sued by Nike.
haha i think that would've happened by now considering Nike sues everyone
Still not convinced by this model . Waiting for a better colorway
Same
6:46 I got long toes I get my 550s true to size (sz11)

It doesn’t feel premium in hand bro
You're tripping Josh these look so sleek. Perfect black shoe for nights out
It's a hit or miss shoe, no in-between

Love it
the JFG 1000 in black ice blow these out of the water imo
only the laces are nice lol all the shiny garbage on it just makes it look cheap and it literally is cheaper to use that kind of material too sooooo lol everyone got played over paying for a "collab" with GR materials lmao !!!!!
The shoe is not that impressive in hand
For the materials they look overpriced imo
would you go with the standard 1000s over this one?
Toebox looks narrow
❤
Hola
Hola
AM95’s but worse 😂
After releasing banger after banger, NB finally offered something to be ignored. Feels like they brought these back for the sake of being unpredictable. Not for me.
They brought them back to fill in their gap of 90s reflective retro runners that the cheaper Nikes and Adidas are pumping out.
Really? The 1000s are amazing, I just got the grey ALDs and I need more pairs
Seems like they trying to find into that 90s running vibe that is really popular now but these aren't hitting
Banger after banger after banger after banger
Nothing special imo 🤷🏻♂️ I wonder when these brands will actually come up with something new again (I know, I have to look outside of the mainstream brands).
Looks like a fila, I wouldn’t be buying these for certain
So don’t😭
Worst shape of the year
It’s not my favorite
Im glad people agree. I hate the shape.
And do not go half size down go true to size.
