I’m digging the futuristic look that I think is communicating minimalism and organics. Looking forward to future cws
THIS is how you review a shoe! Very helpful with the sizing and fit tips. That one particular detail is what I'm always wanted to know when seeing a review.
Glad it was helpful!
This. I hate people who just put that shit on their feet, and never even touched the pavement. Tells me nothing.
He does a great job
Another awesome review and the first one to show off this new siluette! Another happy suscriber here!🎉 Cheers from Peru
Bravo Sean to be so clutch with reviews, appreciation from france
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
I put the Move All Day insoles in these and man... comfort is absolutely insane. So glad I copped a pair
I almost purchased, but was on the fence due to it being such a new silhouette and what it may offer. Sean, you definitely made me feel much better with passing on them.
These are fire: I was lucky to get one in my size before it sold out. They are actually very comfy - wore them for a few hours walking - while not as squishy as some runners, but they also introduce some stability (nice bonus). These will be my go to lifestyle sneaker for sure.
I purchased these because of your review and I love them !!! Thanks for the suggestion about sizing, it’s really helpful! 🩷
Thanks for the review! I just got my first pair and they're amazing on feet for me. Comfortable, soft and helps with my heel/achilles issue. I agree that true to size is prob best for most.
Got myself a pair today. Super comfortable.
i managed to get a pair my size and i genuinely love them bc of the whole chunky organic look one of my fav cops this year! I should have doubled up so i can have a back up pair if these get jacked up from usage lol. They definately need an insanely nice colab to pick this siluette off the ground.
I love this model. The shape of the Yeezy V3 model. I think the shoe will look great with some tailored jeans or chinos. Cant wait to get my pair next week. Keep an open mind about sneakers always.
Did not expect hear that these have a firm feel on feet! Thought they would've been very soft and squishy due to the FuelCell!
Honestly as a 99X wearer, these feel very bouncy. I’d compare it more to Ultraboost
I'm thankful to have managed a pair of NB x Stone Island collabs, even softer than the SC Trainers, I'd almost put off for these till I heard they weren't super soft and squishy like they appear, all I care about is comfort, style comes second, just an amazing bonus that the NBxSI C1s look 🔥🥰
very VERY disappointing to find out that these are super firm. extremely deceptive looking. as a 187 year old man i need to stylish AND comfortable in my old folks home! but seriously…
Thank you for the review Sean
No problem 👍
Sean always on time. I like that New Balance is trying out new designs but I don't think this is for me. Still a clean shoe imo.
I wasn't really feeling them in press photos but I do think they look better on feet. I'll wait for more colorways!
Waiting for my pair to arrive, so glad I copped 1/2 down. For me comfort wise I didn’t expect them to be soft just by looking at them, and I didn’t know they have FuelCell until recently 😅
How they fit?
I’m curious if the Auralee ones would have a wide release. Surprised they didn’t debut this silhouette with a collab
Copped this morning on NB, but was waiting for your review as always! Lol. Might hafta use the Move insoles if they’re as firm as you say. 😂 Def waiting for the Auralee colorways too.
💯
i knew you were gonna post a review soon 😅 great review 👍🏻
Thanks! 😁
Just got these and the forefoot is super squishy and bouncy while the heel is quite firm. Almost feels like 2 different shoes in 1. It’s so noticeable I’m surprised no reviewer has mentioned this so far. Did you have the same experience w these?
Been contemplating getting these, I gotta see them in person even though they already look so good in the pictures 😅 idk what to do lol
the on foot sold me haha. just bought a pair.
I swear I thought the same thing when I first saw pictures of these kicks. I thought to myself, when did Ye became the head designer of new balance?!🤔😂 They look like something Ye would’ve design if he were at NB. Almost reminds me of the Yeezy 700 V1 (Waver Runner) Especially the front toe box. Also, the material with the suede, mesh and chunky mid sole.
Legendary.
I could’ve copped. Had them in cart but decided against it. Great review as always 😊
Thanks!
You dodged a bullet.
I’m still really on the fence about these they look like a runner but too bulky for shorts and with pants I just don’t know how I feel about them I am waiting to see the all cream colorway tho
Do you think that with the upper (the white color of the shoes) being like a cotton texture, that it might not age that well ?
possibly, and easier to get dirty for sure
Hi, this model is good for long time standing?? Plz Can u do one video on long stone standing sneakers??
I might cop
Bro they look so cool. They are prob one of the few chunky sneakers I like. So futuristic but kinda retro. Whoever's designing these new shoes on the New Balance team really doing a great job.
The only thing I'm kinda iffy about is the outsole, idk if that pattern is grippy enough for me, I got bad experiences with wavy pattern designs, like slipping on downhills.
I like them. The only thing I don't like is how the N is layed on the side panel. They could have made the N from Suede or Denim with cream ,brown or orange stichting. ❤
I've been looking at this shoe since the early photos and I still can't get onboard the midsole shape. It's weird when the heel tapers in. How stable is it on feet? Sad to hear about the lack of softness, it looks like it'd be a max cushion type shoe. I really love the comfort of my 990v6.
not a very stable shoe bc of the midsole shape
@@SeanGo say no more fam, thanks for the review
Yes
Copped TTS going to have to see if I can swap for half size down 😢
TTS wasn’t that bad honestly
What are your thoughts of the new colorways? Did they make you change your mind about the sneakers?
They look better on feet. It’s a pass for me because with the design and shape of this new model I’m not sure if I can pull it off. Dope pictures as always bro.
That's strange. I've been walking in them all day, frankly they've been nothing but pillowy and bouncy 🤔 But followed your sizing tip and they fit great!
that’s good to hear!!
How’s the comfort and quality compared to miusa 990s?
So it’s not near 990v6 then given the fuel cell sole similarity
Not at all, more firm / bouncy and not soft squishy at all. Also it feels more unstable than a 990 V3-5
Which is more comfy this or the 9060? Which is more soft ground feel? Please answer
9060 i’d say is more comfy
@@SeanGo thanks sean!! More power and keep up the good work!!
i think these look super cool, but this is not the type of thing i would ever wear. i'm excited to see how people work these into their fits, though. think it will be really cool.
the image of those wooden clogs!?!😂
They definitely look better on feat than in hand, but I'd only get them on a discount.
Im cool on these... but them new skate jawns are coming with me soon.
So maybe it feels more like a 5740? Looks super cushioned but actually stiff and firm.
Bouncier than a 5740 but yeah looks softer than it feels for sure
What WRPD stand for?
Warped
I copped, sold out of my size on NB so i copped from capsule toronto , i thought they were fire off the rip. The blue color way not my fav but this sea salt and the cream/beige auralee ones to me are fuego 🔥🔥
Yeah the blue one wasn’t for me either
Mines are on the way from solestop
first I've seen of these. Interesting. Dad of the Future!? ha
I thought there’s going to be a lot of hype on these.
THEY SOLD OUT NOW SMH
Kith has them.
60:40 between the new Stoneys and these
Me too! Seems like the stone island C1s would be more comfortable because of more fuel cell and that carbon plate for more energy return while walking/running but they do have a very strong running shoe look while these look more casual to me, but can't decide ha
//
lm just waiting for a better colorway
I got really lucky? I bought these at Capsule last week and they were $180
Whoa, price error?
@@SeanGo Error for sure, they posted them on their site on the 9th but glad I hopped on that
This is it. ........
I can't unsee the wooden clogs. I like NB, but I'll pass on those. 😆
Lmao that’s exactly what they remind me of
I do like the look.
However, seeing this it makes me want to be on the hunt for VaporStreet by Nike.
Imagine a collab from kith and other company's
I wish i could buy them, they are already out of stock...
I believe that they would look better if they had i slimmer midsole.
Thick, chunky midsoles are on trend now.
I don’t particularly like the colorways we have seen so far so I’m going to wait for future colorways before making a decision.
Who's gonna colab on these first 😅
Auralee
They look like Tods
JFG or JJJound Would Bring More Hype To These. But Either Way I'm Copying These!
Looks like NB's been making their own versions of designer shoe silhouettes. Before , the designer brands were just copying classic shoe brand silhouttes and jiust slapping on their logo. These days, it's the reverse. Smart move I guess. They still have their classic line for the purists. And they get to have fun for the young ones.
I pay more attention to the music than to the shoe am I crazy..
not at all lol
@@SeanGo Haha but the instrumental got me I assure you otherwise the pair looks amazing.
Remember the Adidas Prophere's? This is New Balance version of it. If you've been rocking NB for years now, this ain't it. All that stack with Fuel Cell and still stiff? LOL
People keep saying these aren’t like Yeezys but even the name WRPD is taking from the Yeezy brand🤣🤣🤣
I don't like the look of New Balances usual dad shoe look, but these are something different and like it.
I thought the days of wearing bricks were gone 😕 The on feet literally looks so stiff it reminds me of something really trash like the Nike AF1 💯🤷🏻♂️👎🏼 Not gonna lie tho, the design is dope af...
Appena comprate, le piu comode mai avute
What are you comparing them to though?
The sole is just too thick, if they could tone it down to at least half the thickness…..✌️😀
These looks like some 990V3 that's having an allergic reaction, and is in desperate need of antihistamine.
lmfao
The top hairy suede is nice but the sole is too thick more like woman shoes , definitely easy pass for me
9060's are still better
They look too "designer" for me. But not mad at them, hard pass for me.
I like NB, these are basura.
These just dont look good on foot.. nope. Such as easy pass, they are sitting in Aus.
