“jjjjound is the Fragment of North America” - Jeff Staple
Grabbed mine last week, can't wait for nice weather to wear them 😎another great review SEAN 💯💪
💪💪💪💪💪
The subtleness of the colors and the black N set it off. It’s a clean as can be shoe/color combination. Sometimes not having flashy contrast makes the simplistic nature of shoes beautiful. Because they are limited, and not constantly churned out, does not mean it’s a bad shoe by any stretch. The 990v2 in grey is a banger but it’s almost a perpetual shoe and they keep making them. Same with the grey 993. Does not make them bricks. Simple supply and demand drive up price. People knocking these for the retail price are insane. For resale maybe.
This is the first jjjjound collab with NB that I’ve copped for retail. I’ve only had a chance to wear them twice so far cuz of snow but as soon as spring comes I’m gonna wear the shit outta these! I agree that the sizing of these 991’s are def more wide foot friendly. I wouldn’t pay resale for these though cuz we def know more jjjjound NB collabs are coming.
6 months and still no new nb bro lol
for me these are so far the shoe of the year,🔥🔥🔥
These put the 991 under my radar again, went out and bought a leather black with Harris tweed wool.
Yea I bought these resale . And I do not regret it at all… especially with the black laces on 🔥🔥
Man 991 is a toe killer for me, good to hear they’re tooling em wider now. 993 for wide footer is a dream ☁️
Wow. Thanks for the insight that the 991 was derived as a modified 990v2. No wonder I like 991s because im more of a 990v2 fan despite the decrease in comfort compared to other 990s
I L’d on these too. I’ve been looking for a fall(ish)-colored 9XX model that I don’t have yet, so I joined all the raffles for these. That said, I knew that if I took an L, I’d never pay resale for these. I’ll just wait for another. 991 would’ve been nice though, since these don’t come around often, especially compared to all the 990’s.
Been waiting a while for this review!
First Jjjjound x NB for me via End raffle. They felt underwhelming at first, but that changes when I see them in person and have them on foot. The cream laces made them perfect imo. Also have wide feet and these turned out fine.
Love this colorway
them joints are gorgeous
shits are hella fire pay that resell homie drip or drown
Exceptionally clean shoes
Love these, will eventually bite the bullet and pay $370 resale 😬 they are the perfect color way for everyday wear and the materials are top notch.
I agree! I really love and want these for the colour and simplicity on this colab. Probably their finest colab for these 991’s so far imho!
looking like the best colorway
After being spoiled by the Teddy releases, FOMO really does kick in when it sold out. I want this shoe but not feeling the high resale for it. Great review as always!
Thanks!! Don’t worry there will be more dope shoes to drop.
I have this shoe and the 992 in the same colorway. I agree with you Sean, if this shoe is GR, I might just pass. But I wasn't gonna. Guess I jjjjust don't wanna miss out. I do feel the 992 is more comfortable. Wish jjjjound would have done it in 993 coz that's the most comfortable one. Who would like to see a 993 version of this shoe?
Yeah 993 comfort is 🐐
been waiting for this review!!
That's what Im thinking too, if this is one is not collab I'm sure this sit in shelf, even if retail price I think it's bit expensive,
These look amazing 👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been waiting for this review
I wanted these bad but whenever I go for Jjjjounds it’s always a guaranteed L lol I’m not mad I didn’t hit tho because its nothing special colorway wise. Still a solid shoe tho and if I would’ve hit I wouldn’t have been mad 😂 great review!
Thanks for the review. Love you bro. You are the best sneaker blogger.
U spot on !!!!! Those bricks wouldn’t sell for $180 !!!!!
I was thinking about a 991 made in england cause I was born in 2001, but now I think it's more clever to keep up with the present.
These are doper than most everything coming out in the present… Please
Been waiting on this one!
These and the Stone Island 574 are the same. If they weren't a collaboration, they would've sat. Look at the 990v2 brown and grey colourway that just dropped solid but sitting if you put jjjound or Stone Island instant sell
Agreed on the collaboration for sure
🔥🔥🔥 love the earthtone colors. took an L of cos 😅
You’re damn right about FOMO 😅
He killed the on foot with those cream socks. I would pay retail for these happily but not gonna lose any sleep over it 🤑
These are nice, still like the moss 992 and olive v3 best. I couldn’t even tell that the grey 992 picture was a different shoe 😂. What do you think of the ice blue 991 dropping soon? Very clean imo
Still a bit unsure about the JJJound hype i do like a lot of color ways but ultimately don't think they are worth their prices (alone the retail prices with taxes etc are quite out there imho).Great Review Sean
Copped for retail on Jjjjound and received a pair with crap QC. 😢 I may look into seeing whether I can have the leather fixed or just let them go. Great review!
What was wrong
I had to have them because it was a jjjjound release just like you mentioned .. but I can live without them.
Great review again Sean!
Never realised you had the grey JJJJound 992's .
Did you ever release a review for them?
No I don’t think I did lol 😅
they're nice looking. However, they don't move the needle for me, and the justification for the price is a bit problematic IMO.
I appreciate your reviews Sean, you always kill it. Do you have any plans to review the Ambush Air Force 1s in the black or white colorways?
I hit on the white pair on SNKRS
@@SeanGo is it coming soon?
Great video as always Sean. May I ask where'd you get those socks from?
Just Nike crew socks 🧦
Another nice review. When will we get a review of the MSCHF Big Red Boot tho?
Hahah doubt I will
@@SeanGo Lol dang it I was hoping for that classic outdoor Sean Go on foot look
@@commentator2.0 😆😆😆😆
Sean can you do a review of the 530s?
I missed out on these but was able to grab the Year of the Ox 991s instead. Not seen these reviewed as yet. Did you not pick them up Sean?
I passed on those
@Sean Go I wish I'd paid attention to your sizing rundown man. I'm a sz 10 for pretty much all Nikes & Jordans but go for a 9.5 in New Balance and all my 2002r, 1906, 990v2 & 990v3, 992 all fit me well. However, these 991s are very snug, I might have to take the insoles out. I note now you said MiUK shoes fit snugger than the MiUSA variants.
Curious about how you keep your shoes
Na I became drawn to this shoe because of the absolutely gorgeous clean earthy colorway that I think looks about as good as any shoe I’ve ever seen….It happens to say JJJJound on it and makes it a rare item as well….So that’s why I really want them. But not at ALL because it says JJJJound on it as the reason these interest me so much…I’m 40 years old and could care less about “Cool collaborations”
This would be sitting on shelves if they weren’t a collab lol.
💯
Sheeeeeeeeeeessssshhhhh
The draw of the shoe is you could always get your money back, if they are lightly worn , once your tired of them. Especially true for sought after NB's for some reason.
I just don't like the tongue on the 991. The shape of the badge makes it very square and it doesn't tuck into the shoe like in the vid. But these are dope
It's a mystery to me why these are so expensive on the secondary market. They look pretty ordinary. Minus the Jjjjound branding, I don't see these going off the shelves as a GR. Hype is just ridiculous.
I was gonna try to cop these but then I looked at my funds...
🔥🔥🔥
I can still remember when this drop last month. jjjjound gave me the longest less than a minute queue. Hoping to cop this pair this year. Thanks for the awesome review bro🙌🫡
ID on the tshirt?

These or the JJJJound 992's?
992 more comfortable
@@SeanGo Thanks for the review. Can't really afford both the 992 and 991 so thanks for the input!
I have seen many GRs selling out over a period of a few weeks.. I believe if this cw droppedas a GR, it would be the same case. overall it is very nice but as you say, nothing special.
I have a question. So there’s a women version of this shoes, are they the exactly same in term of color?
Yes the women’s version is the exact same as the men’s they just separate men’s and women’s sizes on the 991.
Took the L and wondering if I really need to pay resale for these.... damnit LLLLound ...
I passed on these. They look like every other JJJound release. Not to say that's aren't nice, just very very similar. Imjave the olive green and black and the brown and black. That's all I need
Pretty much a worse version of the 992 brown pair. Which im glad i kept cuz there impossible to find now
And those 992s are also a worse version of the 990 v3 brown pair which are literally impossible to find anywhere
envy you……
Dead ting. The shape, the design, awful midsole, the boring bland colours, some genuine grandad tings. Look at the toe… You’ve all twined your minds into thinking this is the one.
Took L and not doing resale…;)
These… are the ugliest JJJJound collab yet. 😄 That particular shade of grayish-tan just makes me think of ratty old couches you’d find at garage sales or even abandoned in a ditch somewhere.
😭😭😭😭😭
call me a jound hater cuz he's OVERRATED
These ain’t it
