In a time where Nike and Jordan push out the same silhouette in just different shades, it refreshing for brands like NB to dig into the archives and put a modern twist on them. These are a must cop - thx for the much needed review Sean
I really dig these, its like a hybrid of the AM 95’s n 97’s to me. This silver metallic colorway is nothing short of amazing, huge fan of shoes that have this shiny material like Asics, Saucony’s etc. Looking forward to these and the cream, green n pink colorway when they come in our store
Another great review by Sean Go. You always manage to make sneakers look glamorous and luxurious somehow. This model however will not be added to my collection, I just can't click with the style.
The Aime Leon Dore ones i seen so far look 🔥 🔥 and there is a Green and cream sude version GR realeasinf it was suppose to be Aime leon but they change it to a GR release
Oh shitt team early! Been really looking forward to you reviewing these. Itook a big fat L on the JFG pair but the upcoming green and white has me a little intrigued.
This is the only colorway ive seen besides the JFG collab that i like. Hoping to hit on the black pair this week, but if i dont, im def looking at these
I think these remind me a lot more of the AM95 than the 97, especially with the big piece running down the front of the laces. Hit on the JFG black pair but probably gonna trade/sell them for the pink
Going for several raffles for the JFG Black metallic cw, ready to take a ton of L’s. As a big Air Max collector these look more like the 95s to me not the 97s. I like the silhouette a lot.
Tbh Im not sold on this silhouette just yet. Even with the on feet look, it hasn't peaked my interest. The collabs are going to have to save this silhouette to keep it relevant.
Thanks for the review. As a longtime New Balance guy from the DMV I can tell you that NB hits the mark 90 percent of time. But yeah… these should’ve stayed wherever they dug them up from… 🪦⚰️🧟♂️
Do you think the synthetic materials (silver part of the shoe) will be a problem down the line? I love the fit and comfort of this silhouette but the only consideration I have is most synthetic leather / materials tend to crack where the shoe crease.
Something is keeping me from really getting into this style - maybe it was taking an L on both shoes for the JFG raffle that added to this but kinda meh imo
@@SeanGo you know how foamposites fit snug on the toe box does it feel that way with the 1000 going down half a size? Maybe I’m explaining it wrong lol
@@SeanGo this is the only thing I’ll agree with! Who does new balance think they are with these prices? $500 for duck mallard concept 998? Someone needs to be horse whipped!
If new balance doesn’t take it easy and remember which shoes are the good shoes to release, it is going to go the way of the dodo bird 🐦 New balance is getting a little to lazy now that it is doing well.
I can’t thank you enough. I bought the JFG Belly outro 990v4s. I then saw the picture for JFG 1000s, both color ways. Initially, I wanted the black ones. However, as more and more pictures came out, I decided I just wasn’t that impressed with either of the color ways. Seeing more detailed pictures of the gum sole ruined the black ones for me. It should have been a black sole and using the gum colored sole really ruined the shoe for me. The pink ones are hideous. I’m tired of the weird, feminine colors JFG uses for men’s shoes. He needs to cool it a bit. Then, new balance released these silver ones unaffiliated with JFG. I don’t like these silver ones, either.

❤️🫡💪
Nike/Jordan are played out in my opinion.
@@F22dtmer Exactly. Super played out with mediocre materials. Even Adidas has better quality than Nike.
@@patricblack1which adidas ?
@@deependmedia In general Adidas has way better quality. It's a fact.
I hope more GRs continue to outdo these collabs. To keep it a 1000.
ISWYDT
@@SeanGo Aye aye😎👉🏿👉🏿
I feel the same. NB collabs have been a little disappointing this year, but the Grs have been excellent
These definitely outdo the Joe Fresh good Collab both pairs
This color so fire and trying to cop a pair in the future for my collection 🔥🔥

This is “nothing short of amazing”? Really? You’re easy to please!
@@theetruth4267 it doesnt matter, i like comfy shoes. And as said in his review i will hope to enjoy these when i try them out🤷🏽♂️
I like these it’s giving AirMax vibes. I think I’m gonna go ahead and get them when they drop tomorrow.
So hyped for these
Got my pink JFG pair today and they are surprisingly comfortable!
Why the pink and not the black?
How is the sizing??
nice pickup!
@@theetruth4267 I like pink 😂
@@spliff5243 I go TTS, same as 2002 and 1906

Oh wow ! Really? This colourway pass as a colab to be fair .
I love this silhouette so much
Thanks for the video, Sean. I’m not really big on these but different strokes for different folks.
Air Max 95 and 97 just had a baby
These are fire! I picked up the JFG black ice pair and went tts since I’m a.wide footer. Nice review!
My second favorite color behind the black pair of JFG I’m on board with these🔥🔥🔥
Oh shitt team early! Been really looking forward to you reviewing these. Itook a big fat L on the JFG pair but the upcoming green and white has me a little intrigued.
These look great on feet
I copped the Pink Mink 1000 JFG!🔥
let’s gooo
Just copped a size 10 today from the NB site.They were sold out quick in Canada.
This is the only colorway ive seen besides the JFG collab that i like. Hoping to hit on the black pair this week, but if i dont, im def looking at these
I’m not sure how I feel about these. Kinda pointy looking almost like a soccer cleat. Agree, I’d like to see other colors. Great video as always.
Fair enough! thanks!
got these recently. half size down for sure. the length is .5 size larger than nikes p6000 and asics gel kayanos in the same size.
They have a little bit of AM95 energy but with steam punk influence. Not sure how I feel about them, but they definitely are cool!
The midsole is a little wonky looking for me LOL. IDK if I can get with these personally, but I can see why people like these. Great video Sean!
Fair enough!
I think these remind me a lot more of the AM95 than the 97, especially with the big piece running down the front of the laces. Hit on the JFG black pair but probably gonna trade/sell them for the pink
white/green colorway is going hit with the fashion scene, going to be comparable to a sleek raf Simmons
Going for several raffles for the JFG Black metallic cw, ready to take a ton of L’s. As a big Air Max collector these look more like the 95s to me not the 97s. I like the silhouette a lot.
Just like with the Rainiers, NB took a considerable risk with these ones. They’ll have to push these pretty hard
Major risk at a time when it needed to just keep building its momentum.
Hit in the JJ black pair. On its way home , hoping it beats the boss, along with my Kobe’s and Jackie Robinson 👀
Looks like air max 95 not 97 don’t know how ppl saying that it’s just like an air max 95
Going to have to see and check my local NBs stores if they got it in early…
These look so much better on foot to me
Tbh Im not sold on this silhouette just yet. Even with the on feet look, it hasn't peaked my interest. The collabs are going to have to save this silhouette to keep it relevant.

😆😆😆😆🫣
@@SeanGo you went to a regular retail new balance store ? Because I’m a bout to check
@@brandonf1791 yup was just at the mall and walked in and saw it sitting at the new balance store there
@@SeanGo good looking out about to call the new balance stores here n see what’s up since I striked out on the jfg 🫡😂
How should I choose the size compared to New Balance 530?
I copped the JFG Pink Mink🔥🔥🔥
has the silver bullet vibe
I’m going wait for other GRs colorways . Also ALD It’s releasing NB 1000s very soon ..
This is the JFG collab based off, right? I have to say its wild and not sold on this design. Its more of a AM95 design as to AM97
Wing, not JFG
Wrong, not wing
JFG is also a 1000 model yes
Do you think the synthetic materials (silver part of the shoe) will be a problem down the line? I love the fit and comfort of this silhouette but the only consideration I have is most synthetic leather / materials tend to crack where the shoe crease.
i wouldn’t be surprised. At the least it’ll crease badly.
@@SeanGo Thanks for this, will probably opt for a 9060 then!
Passing on this one, but I am very interested in the upcoming pink, tan, and green colorway.
Where did you cop in Toronto? I copped JFG’s “black ice” 1000 and I want these. I’m all about the 1000 if they are more comfy than AM95 or 97
New Balance store at Fairview Mall
@@SeanGo thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@SeanGo thanks Sean, copped!!
So this is the New Balance version of the Nike Air Tuned Max
Not sure how to feel about the “leather”. Will they crease bad? Synthetic and vegan?
synthetic
They look like Air Max 95s
This feels so 2000
Something is keeping me from really getting into this style - maybe it was taking an L on both shoes for the JFG raffle that added to this but kinda meh imo
Don’t worry, I bought the outro belly’s hoping to sell for some extra and they sink like a rock, further and further each day! 🪨
comfort compared to a 990v6?
Will there be other colorways?
yup a lot of
How would you compare to sizing of 990v3, 992, 993?
those 3 fit a bit roomier than 1000
What pants are you wearing on your on-feet review?
nike tech cropped pants
So going half a size down would you say the toe box feels like a Foamposite or not really!?? Debating if I should stick tts or go down half a size
what do you mean like a foamposite?
@@SeanGo you know how foamposites fit snug on the toe box does it feel that way with the 1000 going down half a size? Maybe I’m explaining it wrong lol
@@SeanGo maybe I should just go half a size down. Want the black ice pair
@@hectorpineda24 when i doubt id always say just go tts IN CASE. Too snug would make it unbearable.
@@SeanGo thanks Sean!
not for me. That long piece over the laces is not the right vibe for me.
I am still undecided. Even after watching your review lol. I guess I don’t like it but I want to…
that’s no then 😂
I had the pink JFG raffled pair in my cart for days until I decided I really didn't like the silhouette.
the cost of 175 is not bad at all !
yup not bad!
@@SeanGo this is the only thing I’ll agree with! Who does new balance think they are with these prices? $500 for duck mallard concept 998? Someone needs to be horse whipped!
man what are the pants? Too fire
Nike tech cropped pants from a couple years back
dang... someone on YT said go half size up, which what I did.
maybe it will work!
Not sold on this silhouette either. Might try to find one in store to try on though!
👍

Hard
I'm a new balance head but the nike 97 and 95 are better shoes over this nb model.
If new balance doesn’t take it easy and remember which shoes are the good shoes to release, it is going to go the way of the dodo bird 🐦
New balance is getting a little to lazy now that it is doing well.
the design is a no go...probably the worst new balance looking sneaker
😢😢😢😢
Wide footers, STAY TTS. Half down is unwearable.
Mesh on these so much worse than jfgs
I''m good. Easy pass.
I can’t thank you enough. I bought the JFG Belly outro 990v4s.

money saved! your wallet is happy haha
@@SeanGo yeah, but I ended up buying two pairs of ASICS gel nycs- the bodega version and the white/silver/moss version
Now, I’m debating on the stone island 991s, the London marathon 991s, or the j crew NYC 992s. It’s tough to decide!
@@theetruth4267 all!
I want to see more M575, 991s, 992s, 993s, 998s and 999s. This weirdo stuff needs to stop!
More collars with Palace, J. crew, etc.!
Collabs
Copped the JFGs pair😏🤎🖤
