I ordered these and customer service called me up and said they oversold their inventory and said they were going to take a month to make a new run plus hooked me up with a $100 coupon code. Great customer service from NB.
Nike fucks a lot of players over. The same thing they did to James Harden they did to Kawhi. They want to put as little effort as possible marketing their players. Just like they helped Adidas have the best lineup top to bottom out there, they are going to put New Balance on the basketball map.
Ive seen people that have given review with this shoes.. but i didnt watch it. Ive waited for u to give a review bcuz for me ur review is way better.. put it this way.. u the GOAT shoe reviewer.. hands down
I am glad that he went in a different path and didn't get lost in the secondary signature athlete group.He took a chance with NB and I think it will pay off in the long run.
True, nitrogen does have air in it. But like nitrogen tires, it's "supposed" to stay inflated for a much longer time than just air...my guess it's to prevent cushion bottom-out. Wanna try them myself, but finding a size 15 may be too tall of a task.
Nice move Mr Fowler! NB has the best materials, look is awesome. I ll wait for your perf review, intrigued by the cushion setup. Kawhi laugh ++ "you already lost me" ++ man love your reviews :)
Yo man. Great review. I love the discussion about them at the end too. Looking forward to seeing how they do on the court. And I agree with the "tactics" you mentioned they used to sell them. Your on court review will be my deciding factor. Still got respect for you even though you like GSW. :p
Back in the day many of my former teammates used to love playing with NB basketball shoes, if i remember correctly they featured Abzorb, Abzorb sbs and Abzorb EX cushioning. I've never owned a pair but i remember considering to buy a pair of BB889. Hopefully they'll soon release other budget models alongside Leonard's signature line.
Nightwing always calls it like he sees it. Respect. Way to call out NB. Oh... and Seth Fowler seems like he’s top shelf. Rad he was looking out for you.
I was worried about kawhi switching to NB because at least Jordans have great cushion, and now within weeks of switching to these Kawhis knees started giving out. Just watch how much his explosiveness decreased from the sixers series to the warriors one from knee tendonitis. Hope they make his next model with a little more midsole
The herringbone traction pattern IS very much like Kawhi... Doesn't really say anything (no storytelling), but definitely works on the court. *Kawhi laugh*
Nitrogen is one of the inert elements, hence it's more stable than others. I remember you mentioned in one of your videos about how Nike changed the composition of their Air bags which affected the cushion, so it would be interesting to find out what they're using (though it's highly unlikely given it's proprietary). And yes, I'll echo it: the claws gives more of a Black Panther/Killmonger vibe than Kawhi's monicker.
I got a pair, they showed up on the 15th, but I sold mine because I'm a size 15 and they only went to size 14. I could fit the 14, but it was a little to tight for me.
these are dope! NB needed to come up with their own intellectual foam even tho adding nitrogen to foam instead of just air is prolly more expensive, i guess there could be some benefits at the end..
@@vincentwang3372 yt is weird place to flex your NB fit experience, but I run 1/2 down from my normal tts in 574 classics and sports, 997S also half down, also 1/2 down in their trail runners.
Man I had to size up, I tested these in store and it felt incredibly snug at my size to the point that it felt like a full vice around midfoot. I have a pair of kyrie 5 which are also like straitjackets but those felt more forgiving at my size.
Been waiting for these! More traditional start to their basketball line is better than what Puma's doing. Hopefully they fix the problems with this shoe on the next one because if fit isn't good, the shoes useless...
"Big Game" James Worthy also had a signature shoe with New Balance back in the day with the Lakers. More importantly, they were also a very nice looking bball shoe & performed well. Very pleasant to look at. Even on feet. Wish they would retro them. I think you would also appreciate them. #OLDSCHOOLHOOPS.
There's just something about an all leather shoe or at least 90% of it 😁. At any rate; I really appreciate & enjoy your channel. Excellent vids & info. #NIGHTWING THEREALMVP!
Was not able to get em..yet. Fire 🔥 sneaker 👟 of the best player in the association. Super Dope Hoodie (can’t wait for season 3) and Let’s Go Raps! Beat the Bucks tomorrow night. Raptors nation stand up #WeTheNorth
What do you guys think of his clippers colorway? For me it's like wow! You couldn't just drop your first colorway in a white purple or black colorway? It had to be blue? He wore a white and blue pair in game 3 vs Milwaukee.
Man I had high hopes. Not looking the part so far. I'm also pissed this shoe was unveiled so long ago - All-star weekend right? Leaked even longer ago and they wanna release OCTOBER??? FOH. Like you said, strike when the iron is hot. Not only that, so many new competitor models will release by then smh! OMN2S should be out by then. Great vid as always. S/o to Seth. All that being said I hope it performs nicely as I still want a pair lol

Thomas Amey Jr. they have the best costumer service and products no doubt
Thomas Amey Jr. they probably won’t ever release this color way to the public again he wore this when he hit the buzzer beater against the sixers
With that claw-like design, NB should make a black panther colorway and it’d be so dope.
They need a struggle Panther color way .
That would be dope. I think adidas is doing that now with Dame Lillards newest shoes
Every time i look at the shoe i think it’s Killmongers Golden Jaguar necklace
Black and gold colorway would be dope
@@Deimos_the_Autist Yea hard, they need to collab with marvel haha
Ken Flores they actually did come out with some black panther 574’s and I believe some 997’s or 998’s
@@ClimbingCaed They should do another one with kawhi's shoe haha
Best use of that kawhi laugh I`ve seen
Newbalance is simple
Kawhi leonard is simple
perfect
Man Kawhi has deserved a sig since his finals MVP. Better late than never i guess
Anthony Lucas Hell No
I read this thinking you meant a cig lmao

@@vaudou_ jordan brand would've never gave him a signature shoe most jordan brand athletes dont and wont ever get one.
voodoochild346 Shoes sell most for flashy players and superstars. Kawhi doesn’t play flashy at all
Realest dude in the yt sneaker game, that's why I watch. Keep doing you Chris.
Got them in the end! 👌 Seth seems like a really good dude
Finally, a *WIDE* basketball shoe you can actually buy
No wonder its sold out
I've heard like 5 other reviewers call it snakeskin but Mrs. Nightwing calling it raptor skin fucking blew my mind
Finally the goat can review the omni1s
Buy a pair to keep clean. Trust me these are gonna be worth some change.
And you were right, these go for around 500 (if lucky) to a thousand.

Didn’t even waste my time watching the earlier reviews of this. Just waited for the best review on RUclips.
Got my pair the other day. Can't wait to wear them on the court.
I'm buying them either way...kawhi is the best player in the 🌎
Nice move Mr Fowler! NB has the best materials, look is awesome. I ll wait for your perf review, intrigued by the cushion setup. Kawhi laugh ++ "you already lost me" ++ man love your reviews :)
FRUT111 hes the best!
Yusss! I've been waiting for this review.

damn been waiting for these!!!! Thank you Nightwing!
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Love it! The final comment was "awwww snap". Too Awesome!
Mrs. Nightwing looking 🔥 in this one. Shoe ain’t too bad either 🤣. Love the vid guys. Dope as usual. Thanks 🙏
These are actually 🔥🔥🔥👍🏻

Oh cool beans I watch both Chris and Seth! I'm glad Seth knows who to send the sneakers to for a great performance review
Were you able to grab Kawhi's first signature sneaker? Or did you take an L? Thanks for watching!
How much is the retail?
Big ole L
Got 3 pairs sold 2 both for $700+ 🤑🤑🤑
Nikki Murriel $139.99+ tax
donttalklikethat did you receive them before the StockX shipping deadline ?
I'm looking forward to the performance review
these look dope!
They're Beautiful!!!! NB Killing It!!!
James Worthy used to be in Kawhis spot
They look like some K-mart 300s with that logo but I actually like how it looks overall.
These are pretty dope, I really like the bottoms!
Seth does great lifestyle reviews, glad to see him looking out for you and spotting you a performance pair!
The colorway also matches you! Great vid, Chris
Dope hoodie. Wish I could still find one
Gotta spread some love from one sneaker reviewer to another
I want them, but they are so hard to find. I like the colourway used in the bucks series playoff.
Been Waiting! I Wonder If They’ll Perform Well.
Tellin' it like it is. Good man.
also congrats on over 400,000🤘🤘 on to 1 million!
kawhi will shine above all 👍
yo, i think i was the first to see this, love your vids bro
That sinister laugh though😂😂😂
I was waiting for this one 👍
Very curious about this shoe!
I really really dig the silhouette of this sneaker.
nice...durable and looks comfortable...
That stranger Things hoodie is dope Asf!! You should do video on that !!!
Good things happen to good people Kawhi deserve this and more the 👋🏽
Have you reviewed the Spencer Dinwiddie shoe, the K8IROS ?
They’re dope! Better looking than any Jordan. Ok they’re teasing us with it, but their product really looks good. Waiting lows to get released 🤞🏿
I got these 3 days ago and they are great I'm not much of a sneaker head but this looks great and I can ball good
Hopefully you got a plug in LA to get you the exclusives this week for reviews
I have been waiting for the performance review for months
That’s what happens when you don’t watch each upload. Chris has talked about these many times.
Marquees brownlee and weartesters are my go to YTubers for anything tech and shoe reviews ..
Fuel cell is NB best cushion freakin expensive but worth the money
Nightwing always calls it like he sees it. Respect. Way to call out NB.
Oh... and Seth Fowler seems like he’s top shelf. Rad he was looking out for you.
NB uses Fuel cell on race driven/fast pace shoes i would use instead the Fresh Foam they use in the Beacon, more soft and cushy
Mrs Wing droppin that knowledge!
I was worried about kawhi switching to NB because at least Jordans have great cushion, and now within weeks of switching to these Kawhis knees started giving out. Just watch how much his explosiveness decreased from the sixers series to the warriors one from knee tendonitis. Hope they make his next model with a little more midsole
The herringbone traction pattern IS very much like Kawhi... Doesn't really say anything (no storytelling), but definitely works on the court. *Kawhi laugh*
That Kawhi laugh almost made me not believe of this review! :D
All I’m saying is Kawhi hit the only game 7 game-winning buzzer beater in history in THOSE SHOES. Gotta cop just for that alone

We believe it is nitrogen but we could be wrong. A lot of skate brands used to use nitrogen air bags as well.
Seth Came in clutch
I got a pair, they showed up on the 15th, but I sold mine because I'm a size 15 and they only went to size 14. I could fit the 14, but it was a little to tight for me.
It's funny you mentioned red mamba wearing new balance. Because alot of older guys remember james worthy wearing new balance...generations, lol
these are dope! NB needed to come up with their own intellectual foam even tho adding nitrogen to foam instead of just air is prolly more expensive, i guess there could be some benefits at the end..
When Nightwing gets fired up about something I feel the need to join him to go on a march with a torch and pitchfork 😂
😂
Those sneakers the cushion is great it feels like bounce. But a lot better and it won't bottom out as fast.
NB well known to run big, gotta size down 1/2 in casual fit, performance fit prob a full

Kindly make a performance review of CJ McCollum’s shoes. Li-Ning Sonic 7. Thank you!
Them kicks are fire
NightWing, what are your thoughts on the Converse Cons BB?
Fyi... NB are all half a size big.. you need to compare the UK sizes.
Have you released the performance reviews of these?
Been waiting for these! More traditional start to their basketball line is better than what Puma's doing. Hopefully they fix the problems with this shoe on the next one because if fit isn't good, the shoes useless...
Zion should sign with New Balance for a new balance. Jab at Nike.
Do you have any idea what color ways will be available come October?
Excited to see how this shoe performs. Can’t wait for the full review.
And I agree, the marketing tactic they used was terrible. 🤦🏻♂️
I think either the jordan fly lockdown or the jumpman hustle were supposed to be his first real sig model
As I comment, only ONE dislike....might've been the dude that paid $500 for the pair. Haha, great video, Chris!!
Has he done a full performance review for these? I can't seem to find it.
These shoes are fire
Chris spitting major facts. I mean they are new balance and should know better and if not they had puma's strategy to copy
I don't know why but they remind me of the Jordan 28
When's the performance review coming?
Are these coming in a 2e. I get nb shoes all the time and they’re the only ones that make wide.
If you’re reading this Seth, you a real one👌👌

When are you gonna do a perfomance review on these 😭🙏
He’s explained it multiple times now. You skip videos you skip information.
Man I had high hopes. Not looking the part so far. I'm also pissed this shoe was unveiled so long ago - All-star weekend right? Leaked even longer ago and they wanna release OCTOBER??? FOH.

Waited for them for ages and eventually picked up the new KDs. Happy about that.
Never clicked on a video so fast
Wonder if those outsoles are the kind that are gonna yellow?
he finally got a pair!
