I’ve never seen a single pair of these shout out for keeping things interesting and introducing to so many new collabs
a great break from the usual content. Thanks for showing these off! My NB grail is the Distinct Life Detroiters 998.
They look amazing 👌
Great video Sean! I love seeing old sneakers like this and learning the history!
Love my Concepts Boston 998s. Wear em every Christmas lol
This is why I love your channel Sean. Never expected to learn about all these cool older NB collabs. Aside from Hyannis, NRML and Capsule pairs I had never seen any of these. Great video man. Also casually breaking out the JFG 992 😮
Thanks for watching man! Truly appreciate it.
I miss the 997, 998, and 999. The best silhouettes before the hype!
Great video!
🤝
Would love to see your whole New Balance Collection!!! Awesome video as always, Sean!! ✨
❤️❤️❤️
those some great collabs! all 🔥. got excited thinking it was a new balance collection vid 🤣
Central Park NBs are so damn nice. That NYC Parks logo on the tongue is just a chefs kiss. 🤌🏻
That JFG 992 is my absolute grail sneaker 😍😍😍
🤝🤝🤝🤝
Absolutely amazing top 10 NB!!!!
I immediately knew which one would be no. 1 on your list.
Hoping to see some new 998 and 999s soon.
The Concept and Fieg collabs are essentially what got me into sneakers. At the time they seemed so expensive, but I probably should’ve just bit the bullet considering what they go for now.
I got into NBs last year. Started with the classic grey 992 and I have been hooked since. I love the 997 and I hope they are brought back soon so I can get a pair! Also, gotta shout you out, Sean. My go-to person for anything NB related!
Thanks Brian!!!
998 is my favorite looking silhouette glad you gave it love
Nice collection !! Kennedys are my grail
Great content as usual my man. 💯
Respect ✊
That NYC pair at the number 11 spot isn’t based on the Statue of Liberty. It’s based on Tiffany and Co box and a medal that they made for the city of NYC. Deon Point talked about the inspiration on an episode of The Sneak Diss Podcast.
The more you learn lol! Thanks!
This video is great and probably spent a lot of hours on this :) i wanna see the video like this on non-nike, adidas, and nb! keep the great vidz coming!
🤝
Great video, Sean. My “old school” NB grail is the PRVDR 1500 from 2008, a collab from my hometown. Wish I got a pair back then!
😍😍😍😍
your collection is just incredible 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Nice video. Since resale prices have been going down more and more, I went back and got the Bodega "Here to stay" 990V3 for a decent price.
Love you bro. You are best sneaker blogger.
I remember hearing about the re-release of the Kennedys, Kith and even Staple's Pigeon collabs, but never really paid much attention to them. For me, it was the Bodega No Days Off where I started to really notice NB. That's probably far too "new school" though.
Love the NB content man!
Thanks for watching!
NB is the way to go nowadays 🔥
A lot of the shoes came before I could afford them but some of my favorites grail collabs are the Invincible 1400 "brogues", Kawasaki 993 "Ninja", Concepts 999 "Kennedy/Hyannis", Concepts 998 "Grand Tourer", Bodega 577 "HYPRCAT", and the Sneaker Freaker 997.5 "Tassie Tiger". Provider 1500s gets special mentions for being the grail of grails.
Sheeeeesh a lot of heaters there
I’ve always wanted that 530 😮💨🔥📈 I might hv2 do some swap seeing that it’s from 2014
The "SEAL" shud be #1 🔥🔥🔥
My grail is the NB 999 x Mita Sneakers “Mouse”. Part of the Feral Creation Collection from back in 2009. I doubt they would retro it but it would be awesome!
Beauties!!!!
Great, price is going up
Hey Sean, it would be great if you could review some actual Off-White sneakers. Particularly, the Off Court 3.0 Highs. I think it would be a welcome new video to see how it compares to other high tops but with the elevated luxury of Italian materials. Cheers & keep up the great content!
I have five of the 11 on your list
Great Video! Now do a ‘New School’ one 🙌🙌
You should do a new school list too
The Kennedys aka Hyannis are my GOAT NB pair. Frank the Butcher killed that. My first NB “love” was the Nice Kicks 1500. The rest is history lol. I’ve been a runner head since. I’m still on the hunt for the c-notes. Love the love shown towards NB lately. It might be recent “hype” but NB has been a staple in streetwear culture and I’m just glad people are starting to give props where props is due.
💯💯💯💯
The 998 City Never Sleeps and 997.5 Cyclades are my favorites as of now
The cncpts 998 mint is a grail!
Bro, could you do a video about how to keep your pairs even though they're released like 5 years ago, all my NBs already crumbled, anyway, great video as always!
Do you wear em??
Bring back the 580 and the 999!!
We have the same choice as the number 1 New Balance shoes in our collection. Cheers
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let’s do a New School top ten!
Personally I never been a fan on new balances but the 998 definitely was one of my favorites
👌👌👌👌
I miss the 997, 998 and 999s so much. They were the OG runner wave before shoes like the ultraboosts and Yeezy’s took over. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the 990s getting love right now but getting some new 997 colorways would be amazing
Oh man I used to have those Ronnie Fieg 998's. Wish I woulda held onto em. I wore em into the ground though.
Gave em the love they deserved lol
I remember stumbling across your video on the New Balance 247 Tokyo Rats way back in 2017 after seeing someone wearing it on feet and doing some research on the pair. Too bad the 247 silhouette has come and gone now.
Haha yeah, I guess it’s like the 57/40 or 574Sport….
The "NYC" pair isn't inspired by the Statue of Liberty - it's inspired by Tiffany and Co. because Tiffany in the early 1900s used to make special medals given to NY police officers (Medal of Valour I believe). On those medals were the letters 'NY" in the style we now know as the Yankees Logo, which is where the Yankees got it from. So the NYC 997s are Tiffany Blue to pay homage to the fact that it was Tiffany's police medals that first created the "NY" Yankee logo by proxy. Old school NB head fact of the day!
Yup someone made the same comment, thanks for the knowledge!
Idk if you’ve seen them but staple actually did a colab with new balance on the 574 way back. There’s a few pair in eBay if you wanna check it out
Yeah pretty 🔥 I must say
What’s your thoughts on the NEW BALANCE x LAMJC x COLETTE x UNDFTD 1500 UCLA. Curious if you’ve seen these in hand as the materials on that pair are amazing and can see being on this list…enjoy your reviews btw
2014-2016 era 996, 997 and 998 were some of the best...sad they aren't as released any more
I got sooo many grails but I’d say bodega 998’s, ald 990v2, 999 kennedys, stussy 990v4 and the 998 j crew concrete jungle just to name a feww 🔥🔥🔥
Lawd 🔥
wonder why collabs have shifted away from the 997/998/999 to 2002r/990-992 recently. The layering of the 998s allows for so much creativity!
Hopefully they come back!
How can u keep safe thats shoe sir ? More than 3 years ago ur shoes still shiny and solid
i just wear them and put them back in the box after i clean them. nothing special.
Sean did you just casually break out the JFG 992 without ever reviewing them before?!
Hahaha yeah I guess I didn’t review everything I bought back in 2020 🤣
@@SeanGo LOL I had to do a double take and look through your library for a sec.
This is a solid list. So I’m older than you and that’s why a few of my NB faves are from the early/mid 2000s. For example:
M 1400 Super Team 33 Butterfly Fish
576 Made is USA Leftovers pack
Sean D’Anconia 574 AVENJ
Gotta look into those!!
Hey man, if you have a size 40 laying around for no reason. Please consider me😅, thanks
Dude , what happened ? I wouldn’t buy , even for retail , any pair of shoes from this top 10. I am surprised because usually you have good tastes : does it mean that anything old school from NB is at best average ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
More of these please! You have to be tired of saying “good friends at hefelux…1/2 size down In the 990 v5, v4, v3, v2, 993, 992….” over and over again.
🤣 sponsorships help the channel going
All collaborations? No love for any GR !
Lots of love, just wanted to highlight collabs because that’s what people seem to care about lol
Let's get a GR colorway video! NB absolutely kills the GR colorways, especially for the 327 and 574 silhouettes.
