I’m tired of taking Ls on the pairs I look forward to the most, but since the resale price dropped by $100 over the past week I figured it was now or never! I managed to snag off eBay at a reasonable price w/10% off… 🤷🏾♂️ Now after watching this review I’m super anxious to get em in hand! As usual, great review, Sean. 👍🏾
I did the same thing on eBay. I'm a 12 so folks want a ton. The 10% off was definitely nice. Why are you anxious to get in hand? Are you worried about something? I just want my seller to ship. Lol
Really like this shoe, probably the best 990V6 colorway so far IMO. Just wish it wasn't so limited and hard to get, I don't feel like paying resale for these.
I got lucky this time around, but did put the leg work for these and glad I got’em. These are definitely top 3 on the list for the year. Great review Sean, keep up the 💪🏼 work on the reviews!
I tried to go for these in raffles as it is a decent colourway, but honestly the higher retail price point was just price gouging. Thanks for the describing the stability of wearing the 990v6. I've never worn 990v6 before, so I think I will try a pair in store or maybe get pair in sale to see how it feels to walk in
I prefer this color way over the Baklavas…just more wearable IMO. I paid resale through stockX on June 25 and still haven’t received them yet! I’m starting to get worried 😟
Been stuck in my 990v3 bubble for awhile now lol this might just be the pair that finally gets me to come out of it. Look awesome and the added cushioning is welcome. Got flat feet so anything that helps mitigate the hard impact from me walking is a W.
Wish it came with alternative laces. Not a big fan of rope laces and prefer flat laces. But other than that, it’s a fire shoe! Thanks for another great detailed review!
Fun Fact: In Dragonball Z, the real name of Android 17 is Lapis, and Lazuli for Android 18. I’d think this was a DBZ collab if Action Bronson wasn’t involved😂
Copped the OG colorway from NB, could get these close to retail on resale but I don' t think I need both and as you said, to pick one, the OG stands out. Harder to put a fit together but the collections getting too big to cop non-standout pairs.
I love these shoes finally picked them up love fuel cell for actual running these are comfortable dad shoes for sure. Plus like this color allot because of Steven Universe (children's cartoon my daughter used to watch allot)
Took Ls on all raffles but managed to pick these up in my size from Goat below retail. Really stoked for these as I love the cw and Baklava is the best dessert period 🤩
Just got mine in today from stock x. I hear their verification team is hot garbage, but I was also told if it's not a ridocously hyped shoe, I should be okay. Someone accepted my offer of 370. With tax and fees though I still paid way too much. What do you think? Reps? Or I'm probably safe
Great video thanks for the review as always sean. Im a size 14 in Jordan 1s and got these in a size 14 hope they fit espcially since i cant go down half a size to 13.5.
I really want this pair, but the resale is crazy. Maybe I have to settle for the Ronnie Fieg MSG Rangers instead. Dark blue tones for about $100 less. Which do you like better?
@@sicparvismagna1901 lol that’s funny because I paid $377 early on too when they were going for around $400 at the time. Now they’re $315 for my size lol.
If i am 8.5 Us in regular 2002r should i buy the lapis lazuli in the same size? I have short but wide feet and i like how my 2002r fits me its confortable😊Thnks man
Didn't even get a proper release in the UK - New Balance UK just cancelled it on the day they were supposed to be out. Like many others I'm sick of the resale scalpers and refuse to pay those prices.
I got these on a SNS raffle! They’re fantastic. Love the colorway but don’t feel the laces. I swapped them out with a cream pair from the Teddy white leather v3s. Much better imo.
I think this and the other Bronson pair is the worst new balance shoe to date. Truly unwearable and just ugly. Bring back earth tones and calm vibe New Balance please 😭 these are for the 6th graders
When people talk about the power of "HYPE", these Action Bronson's collabs should be out forth as Exhibit A. IMHO both of these colourways are a hot mess, and would otherwise be sitting so hard across the board they will for sure go on sale. With excellent colouways like the Magenta Pop, cream & white, and grey/navy for the V6 models available, these look even worse by comparison. My opinion of course.
Its actually the power of scarcity. Action Bronson’s collabs are much more scarce than the regular releases, including the Grey Day colorway. This scarcity creates hype for the shoes. If they produced as much as the general release colorway, of course the shoes would probably go on sale later.
@@ColdNoodleManiac Absolutely scarcity plays a huge part in manipulating the psyche of consumers. But for me personally I just can't fathom that alone would be enough to override the fact that, IMHO, these colourways are just not very good. I see 992 with similar colourways sitting all around. And that was when 992 was really popular a couple of years back. That tells me that it's not the aesthetic that's appealing to the consumer, which I find to be very very sad.

Tired of paying absurd resale prices. Really wanted both pairs. I am just gonna have to move onto the next…Great review as always Sean…
you will get better pairs at a cheaper price.. these are overhyped and not sooo comfy.
✌️
Right, I love them but not for $400
They are fire . Bought them on stockx at 330€
@@mikedonovan9783 nice! I would personally never spend that money on a pair of NBs though. Enjoy!
For everyone that has these that blue film on the inside of the top of the box actually peels off and has a mirror underneath!
whoa do you have any links to pictures of them?

@@SeanGo of all guys the guys out there this dude chose to spit dragonball facts on SEAN GOku himself! This fool thinks you didnt know lol
Thanks Sean. Wanted to cop the first drop but managed to get the second. Loving the look and feel.
I’ll be honest. I only want these because of Action. Big fan of everything he does.
Finally the video we’ve been waiting months for! 🎉

I go TTS and its comfortable out of the box. Can't wait to get them in hand. pending delivery tmr!
Mine finally shipped from the specializing in life drop lol. Can’t wait to throw them on feet!
Niceee
Thanks for the review, love you bro, you are the best sneaker blogger.
got a grey colourway of this shoe on sale for running it's extremely comfortable
Tempted to pay resale for these…would be my first resale shoe in a minute.
I did and got a good deal early on but now the prices dropped a lot lol
Dopest 990 V6 in my opinion. 🔥
I prefer this colour, but they are both very busy 🤔
Lucky you! You’re able to get one 🎉❤
I know im late but i gotta have these. The reseller price is crazy $450 for a size 11, but it has to be done lol
New Balance 🎉
Great review as aways!
Not many video's on these but this was a good review. Prices are dropping fast so just hold out a few more days and it'll go below $300 in no time.
Great video thanks for the review as always sean. Im a size 14 in Jordan 1s and got these in a size 14 hope they fit espcially since i cant go down half a size to 13.5.
Shud be good, just a bit long
Lapis Lazuli VS Carhartt???
I really want this pair, but the resale is crazy. Maybe I have to settle for the Ronnie Fieg MSG Rangers instead. Dark blue tones for about $100 less. Which do you like better?
I like these better
Had us waiting a little too long for this review 😂 but I'm glad resell prices are down. I got a pair at a good price from stockx
lmfao, yessir, prices aren’t bad at all
Yea I wish I would have waited. I got a good deal early on but now the prices dropped by a lot lol
@@commentator2.0 Got it for 378 usd 1 week after the release damnnn and now im cryin

v6 fits long and narrow so… you might not a great fit for the silhouette lol

From the UK myself an echo this but in certain sizes these aren't much over retail it would seem , certainly the case on ebay anyhow.
I got these on a SNS raffle! They’re fantastic. Love the colorway but don’t feel the laces. I swapped them out with a cream pair from the Teddy white leather v3s. Much better imo.
Top 5 this year, Yet I like the upcoming white and cream more. So this most likely will be number 5 on my top 5 list till now. ❤
Is the white and cream another bronson colab?
This was hard to watch, took so many Ls on Raffles on both colors. I really wanted this pair but can't pay resell on them, on to the next one..
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Action Bronsean 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have to pay to play. Dope kicks son
Added them to my cart the SECOND the site went live - immediately to the check out page, in that 3 seconds it was sold out. F bots
This neither this colorway nor the materials are nice enough to justify resale prices. MSRP as it is comes at quite a premium for NB shoes these days.
SOTY. So nice that I had to double up
Honestly both pairs would look better if the laces were swapped between the two pairs.
Anybody just get the email...?
I was waiting for these 😈
🙏
Getting an L on this one hurt 😢
lo unico que me gusto fueron las cintas
Look like banana shoes. 🍌
I don't think New Balances will ever appeal to me..
Quality has really gone downhill on the made in USA pairs. On top of some janky stitching, they came with two right insoles.
wtf lol
estan horribles
hard pass for me
I think this and the other Bronson pair is the worst new balance shoe to date. Truly unwearable and just ugly. Bring back earth tones and calm vibe New Balance please 😭 these are for the 6th graders
NB is loosing it. Teddy Santis is ruining the company IMO
