I love the 1906r! New Balance did an awesome 👏 job. I love the mesh upper & I love the aging they did on them. I missed out on release so I’m paying resell for without a doubt. Awesome 👏 video Sean!
This is great lol I saw this NB collab and was looking to see if you did a review yesterday and didn't see one. And now here we are. 😂😂 I really dig the 'old school' tech vibe this gives off. Not a fan of the staining. Not sure if they were trying to go for "rust" like an aged metal, but it would be WAY cleaner without. Regardless, it's a great entry for the 1906R model and I love that even the N logo has a purpose. You don't see that at all, so it's pretty refreshing. I don't like the price tag for something that is nearly all mesh and synthetic materials. They need to work on either making it more premium or bring down the price to compete w/ the 2002r
@@SeanGo Yeah I know what you mean lol. It is pretty underwhelming for a collab and looks like a grey new balance GR but that also makes it much more wearable since it's so plain lol.
Yessss was waiting for this review. I love these but struck out for retail. So imma just pick up the GR colorway of the 1906’s. The colorway imma pick up actually reminds me of the JJJJound Asics. But aye I’ll take it
I found the 2002r from this collab fell short. I still believe they're sitting at my local livestock. I took an L when new balance Canada released these.... Been waiting for livestock but apparently there's a delay.
@@brandonlow5801 I’m a true size 8 usually in 2002r, so I first bought an 8 thinking it’s a similar fit. But it was way too tight around my forefoot. 1/2 size up was slightly roomier and comfortable.
Hey man i was checking your review and for sizing do you think this fit like the NB2002R ? I asking this because some other pp says this model fits smaller, normally i wear size 12 on this 2002r so do you think should i go for the same size on this? Thanks man!
I see what you mean with Asics running shoes. They really give off a retro Kayano or Nimbus vibe. To me, these remind me a lot of the Nike Spiridon Cage 2 (retro runner, metallic accents and the mesh). Most people only cared about that shoe for the Stussy collab and they ended up discontinued rather quickly.
Saucony Grid Webs and Grid Azuras have a similar sort of look to these. ASICS is definitely the closest though. The non-collab versions of 1906R aren’t too terribly more expensive than those other brands though. I think they’re pretty interesting looking if certainly a product of their original time period.
I doubt they'll pull it off. These kinds of uppers puts them closer to Asics, who make shoes just as good at New Balance, but don't have the same mount of hype behind them.
Dont worry sean there are many more premium suede and leather versions of this shoe coming out that include all over suede/higher learning pack and also a refined future/protection pack design. I've seen leaks hehe from people I know
I knew it! Storage! Wow That’s a lot of sneakers 300 plus I bet. I had to give some of mine away. Was running out of space and spouse is getting really mad about it. LOL.
I want to like these…with the 2002r I think that model is the perfect balance of “dad shoe” while also having a modern look. These are just some straight grass cutters 😫

do you stay true to size? I'm a wide footer and been hearing some say go .5 up from tts but that seems overkill.
I bought the 2002r based on the materials but I like the aged look on these a lot.

I like these but I’m awaiting the new color way I just saw a sail color-way I’m interested in copping once it’s released.
Hey Sean! Did you get the thisisneverthat 2002r in this pack or did you pass? Wondering if you're gonna do a review on that one too.
Waiting for the 2002r review also.
I passed on them, kinda felt underwhelmed lol
@@SeanGo Yeah I know what you mean lol. It is pretty underwhelming for a collab and looks like a grey new balance GR but that also makes it much more wearable since it's so plain lol.
Cool that this model is being pushed as an alternative to the 2002r. I'm interested in the protection pack coming later on!
Yessss was waiting for this review. I love these but struck out for retail. So imma just pick up the GR colorway of the 1906’s. The colorway imma pick up actually reminds me of the JJJJound Asics. But aye I’ll take it
Cant wait for mine to arrive! Suddenly this year all my collection turns to NB 😂 wdyt of 90/60?
Another great review Sean!👊 struggling to understand why I like these so much despite being way out of my comfort zone😂
🤣🤣🤣💪
I grabbed the 2002r collab. I'm not sold on the 1906R because of the all mesh base, but maybe in future i'll pick up a pair to give it a go
Couldn't wait for you to do the review on these 🔥🔥🔥we the review on the jjjjound asics kayano 14 Sean💪
I love theses but cannot get them in my size anywhere over £150 😢please if anyone can help me
Another great vid Sean! I loved these shoes but I passed

For once, I had to go up a half size for this model. The toe area definitely felt narrow compared to the 2002r
How does it fit? I ordered mine 0.5 up not sure if it will be big for me, how is it for u?

@@cspek great, guess 0.5 should be good for me too
How does this stands againts 1906 invincible n Hollywood?
I prefer these lol
Do you wear all your sneakers or do you have specific rotations?
If I don’t sell them after I review them then yes all my shoes are worn
I'm usually always same size as you SG, but these have to say upsize 1/2 size for me. I've got the OG colourway in the white gold and black
So do they run half a size smaller than normal 2002rs?
@@ucthinhbui4828 it's the case for me.
How does this stands against the 1906 atmos' collaboration?
I passed on those :/
Really happy with my pair, comfortable right away and they fit like my 99Xs
can't wait for the GRs

Maybe it fits slightly more snug than 2002r but I like how both models fit me at tts
Love you bro. You are best sneaker blogger.
thanks for liking my comments
I see what you mean with Asics running shoes. They really give off a retro Kayano or Nimbus vibe.
To me, these remind me a lot of the Nike Spiridon Cage 2 (retro runner, metallic accents and the mesh). Most people only cared about that shoe for the Stussy collab and they ended up discontinued rather quickly.
No wonder, the spiridon cage 2 is imo one of the least comfortable and worst fitting shoes of all time.
How get them
New camera and lens?
Yeah for a while now lol
Didn't expect this review 🔥
🤣 a bit late

Love the idea behind this model, but could drive me crazy to clean these holes.
Great vid
Been on the fence about these bc of the discolored mesh but I think I’m gonna pull the trigger. These look awesome.
Wore them last week and trust me they look so amazing in person, pictures don’t really do them justice and they’re so comfortable as well!
I doubt they'll pull it off. These kinds of uppers puts them closer to Asics, who make shoes just as good at New Balance, but don't have the same mount of hype behind them.
The underdog always win doe
These are different but clean

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Actually like these alot
Very dope shoe
I knew it! Storage!
Wow
That’s a lot of sneakers
300 plus I bet.
I had to give some of mine away. Was running out of space and spouse is getting really mad about it. LOL.
🤣🤣🤣
The spouse is a bigger problem than the lack of space 🤣 'another pair!!'
Sean you should add some clothing to your shoe reviews. Shoe is fiiire though.
if this shoe doesn't give you 90s vibe, I don't know what is.
I want to like these…with the 2002r I think that model is the perfect balance of “dad shoe” while also having a modern look. These are just some straight grass cutters 😫
Lmaooooooo
asics gel kayano 14 jjjjound is next
😍😎
Kinda looks like the jjjound ASICS
The next wave is going to be tech runners.
Yessir
Dam I wish I knew u were buyin these lol
Cuz I just bought an pair on stock x.
& I know ur Goin to end up sellin these -_-
Nylon & synthetic leather does not justify the price. Ok! Ty
Dislike the worn look, completely. Not overly keen on this silhouette. 2002R is much nicer.
