Agree! I had a friend get sent a pair with the logo flipped upside down. They sent him a new pair right away after he sent out an email. He had already owned the shoe for months before sending out the email too haha
@@NachoAverageFinds For about six or seven years I have only worn New Balance for my everyday sneakers. No matter what price range they have always been comfortable. Sure some are more comfortable than others but never had any problems like heel pain, slipping or toe pain. I can't say the same for Adidas or Nike.Whenever someone has foot problems and they don't want to spend too much for customs the go to always seems to be New Balance. I am not really a sneakerhead but thought about getting the Kawhi Leonard Moreno Valley sneakers. Not because I like basketball but I grew in Moreno Valley until about middle school. So, I thought it would be an interesting thing to have.
I loved the video! I bought the entry level 574 just to try out their shoes and I’m in love. Literally feels great on the feet and looks stunning in all the different color ways. Next pair will be 993. I’m a NB fan for life!
New Balance is the "new" trend brand in the sneaker game. Good materials, great advertising campaigns and for your money you get "Made in the USA" or "Made in the UK". The latter also helps to remember a time when everything was nice and simple and you weren't fooled by the swoosh with an app
@@NachoAverageFinds you're right, Bryan. BTW you're like New Balance. Watching your vids is like talking to a good friend. It's comfy, informative and with great quality at the same time 💯 Much love
I guess the marketing strat of MADE IN THE US OR UK really attracted the customers but customers didnt really know that every materials in the shoe comes mostly from china and other asian countries LOL #AssembledInUSA
Nike is still killing it though. New balances are shit performances shoes. You could have the most expensive new balances and it will be shit compared to an ultraboost or an actual Nike performance shoe.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the NB silhouettes or the “dad shoe” trend going on right now, but…damn, those p550s look sick. Thanks for turning me onto a new sneaker - great content as always
@@willyamezquita4404 Yeah bro - as soon as I checked I knew it’d be impossible to get my hands on a pair for the price I want haha. Gonna wait until some of that hype dies down
NB just doesn't miss when it comes to collabs and quality. NB has been killing it over the past 2+ years and they don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon! I also gotta give HUGE props to Teddy for introducing the pre-order system to his ALD collabs. THIS is how you combat resell and bots and hype. Really hoping this will be implemented with other NB releases now that he will be the head of MIUSA in 2022! So hyped for the 990v6! Great, informative video as always! Would love to see a dedicated video to the 550 and other NB basketball kicks. Really looking forward to the next part of this video!
That's what makes them special actually. They just stick to their own little world and do their own thing. Most brands just try to copy each other. New Balance sticks to themselves
i remember very well, when almost everybody was laughing about Kawhi leaving Jordan Brand for NB. well, seems Kawhi and NB had the last laugh in the end.
It's actually sneaky insane the number of collabs they have been doing. Not just the names mentioned, but also Ronnie Fieg, Bodega, Kith, BAPE, Levi’s, Casablanca, Tokyo Studio, and so many more. For the most part, it seems they really want to make these collabs special. Even their own creative team is killing it. Shoes like the ones in the protection pack were fire. Also it'll only get better as Teddy Santis (Aimé Leon Dore's founder) is taking over as creative director in 2022. I'm definitely late to the game as I started really looking at NB when the Bodega No Days Off released. Back then (only 2.5 years ago), the hype was still fairly low. I bought a GR pair of the 2002R (on sale) and was actually surprised to see that they are reselling for a lot more now. Now I have 5 pairs. 2 327s, 2 2002R (second one being the sea salt CW from the protection pack), and 992 Made in USA grey (the ones that Steve Jobs made popular).
Yeah Teddy is going to take the brand into the right direction in my opinion. I love his tastes. And I’m glad you made the jump and are now collecting new balance. They make great sneakers!
New balance are finally getting recognition for how good their quality of shoes are and my favorites from them are 574 and the 576 which is overlooked I copped the real ale pack for $75 on ebay and I'm now copping another 576 pair for $120
@@chrisgivestricks1810 574's are literally the best backpacker shoe out there. You dont ever gotta worry about them breaking down when your seeing the world.
For someone who tries to buy as little clothes produced in 3rd world countries as possible, NB is a fresh breath of air amongst the classic brands. Actually there are like no other options, except maybe Converse Japan.
For what it’s worth I believe it’s only like 70% of their products are made in the USA and the rest is Vietnam. But I’m not 100% sure. Thanks for watching Nils!
Totally agree with you on there not being enough sneakers made in the 1st world. But check out Adidas consortium, they have some made in Germany models. They probably aren’t popular on this channel but the Yeezy foamrunners are made in USA and the 450s are made in Germany.
@@xXcangjieXx I haven’t heard of them, look like good stuff. I mainly buy Japanese clothing, from denim workwear brands and then spice it up with some of the more streetwear style stuff (Human Made, Visvim). Camber seems only to sell to companies, where do you get your hands on it?
That picture of Alchemist and Action Bronson wearing the new balances is legendary. Fun fact: Alchemist produced the music for the whole commercial of that joe fresh goods’s “outside clothes” you gave a snippet of. Legendary producer.
I started skating the new balance numeric line when dunks started getting crazy again. They skate so awesome, the 1010 and the 440 are both perfect shoes for skating.
I started rocking new balance last year and man those shoes are super comfortable and stylish . I ended up buying 5 more this past year. I dont really wear my Nikes as much or Jordan's or pretty much anything else at the moment due to how comfortable new balance shoes are again stylish as well.
New Balance is also supplying US made athletic shoes to all branches of the US military. Including exclusively supplying athletic shoes to the Navy and Marines. Semper Fi!
@@NachoAverageFinds OMG!! 😱 IT'S NACHO HIMSELF HEYY!! DUDE!! THANKS FOR RESPONDING TO MY COMMENT VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT!! & KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT YOUR UPLOADING!! 😎👍🏼
Love NB, it was def crazy to see them become so hyped because when I was in HS they were def dad shoes, comfy but thought of as mostly shoes your pops mows the lawn in. I just recently got into sneakers and my very first pair of shoes was not Nike or Adidas or something but some NB 327’s. Dope video man
i love how consistent new balance in terms of comfort and quality. low key design yet fashionable is one reason I'm in love with it. they do care about their costumers and don't just make shoes for trends like big name brands.
Crazy to think how popular NB has become. In the past I've known the brand for it's "medical" purpose. A friend of mine wore them because of their sizes and width. And never did I think that the brand would grow into the popularity that they are currently enjoying.
Shoot, in my early teens I'm sure I clowned new balances. There weren't many that appealed to me, Now I love them so much. They're so comfy, dope quality and the neutral/earth colors are so clean.
Shit they’re best quality and looking ones have been out for a rip, those 990s. The fresh foam styles look and feel comfortable, but absolutely suck for performance.
I love NB. The pairs I have are so comfortable. I started getting in to sneakers earlier this year and one of the first few pairs of shoes I got were NB 574. I didn't realize they were dad shoes until I started seeing that in sneaker communities online. Idc tho, they're nice to me and just so damn comfy. I also have the 1300's and 550's. 550's are definitely the cleanest to me.
Air Jordan 1 High Zoom Fearless, Jordan 3 Black Cement, Jordan 4 Manila, Air Max 90 Infra Red, Ultra Boost Manila, Yeezy 350 Clay, Yeezy 700 V1 Mauve, Adidas Adilette Boost Slide and Yeezy Slide. So Good Collection.
Thank you for another amazing video about sneakers history. With all of the successful sneakers you have covered. It would be interesting in the future to cover some of the failed silhouette or collaborations. Especially from Puma i believe they have a lot of collaborations and some interesting silhouette in the past.
Yeah actually that's a great idea. Top 10 failed collabs or something like that. Thanks for the suggestion Reynalda and always appreciate you supporting the channel. Have a nice day!
My first pair of NB's was the Stray Rats 990v3 The Joker's reprise collab and made me realize that I was sleeping on NB's heavy. Since then I have about as many NB's in my collection as Nike's. I'm just prepping myself for the future when I'm going to wear NB's all the time when I'm in Dad mode 😂
NB's and Asics are always my to go shoes when I know I will have to stand or walk all day. They are just so comfortable and durable, just like a GEL Asics. I of course love all those more popular, hyped brands like Nike or Adidas, but when I need a real comfort I always choose my NB's or Asics... It's like you can buy medium-price NB's that will give you the same, or even more amount of comfort and stability than more expensive Nike or Adidas shoes. And in my country NB never had this "dad shoe" status, so even decade ago they're just normal, comfy, nice looking sneakers...
They are def some of the best and most comfortable sneeakers you can buy with your money. That's why I love them because of how comfortable they are. Thanks for watching Aleksander!
i'm really hyped about NBs collabs & marketing campaigns, and they finally announced releases in argentina so i'm thrilled. the 550s are absolute fire and i'm really looking forward for the future of the brand. great video byan, keep up the great work 🔥
Been a huge huge fan of the ALD 550s. Got the yellow, and now green and grey on restock. Quality is leagues ahead of the GR 550s. Aside from that, what really blew up NB this year IMO is the 992s. Castlerock, Nimbus Cloud, Blue. It helps that it's all you see on those niche IG mood board brands i.e., Hidden NY, Garden & Seeds, etc.. Cant' forget about that 2002r Protection Pack. Fire.
Those niche IG Mood Board pages get me everytime hahah They can make any snekaer look fire. Congrats on hitting on the Green pair. Those are probably the best ones.
Even without the collabs, they have a superior quality, US made product that's leagues apart from outsourced and thinly padded shoes. The kids who saw NBs on their dad's feet growing up are now old enough to be dads and are starting to recognize the quality of 990v3 or 998 that weren't so "cool" back then
The Navy jound pair made me fall in love with new balance I have never bought a pair of my life I am a Jordan one guy but this is the best sneaker I’ve seen all year bought two pairs I can’t wait to wear them
Glad you did a a video on the collaborations New balance is going strong... Thank you for educating me on the different collaborations... I'm trying to grab a couple pair for the winter!!
Always been a big fan of NB's, premium quality super comfortable at a reasonable price, I ain't a big fan of collabs simply so the shoe goes out of my price range so I tend to stick with the normal 410, 373 or Trailbusters colorways which in all honesty still look stunning.
The NB hype is real this year! Its all of the collaborations with all other designers that is driving up the hype. I just hope they keep the stocks high. NB are the best running sneakers that I’ve been wearing since the 90’s. I can’t wait for my 650’s high coming next year!!
I remember as a kid wearing new balances made you the biggest outcast ever. Now you're cool. THIS is why we should never care about trends and always wear what you like.
NB are so good at maintaining his fans and also branching out to the new ones. The pre-orders is revolutionary to fight againts bots and basically pro consumer.
I saw those salmon coloured 1300s and your green pair on Vintage Kicks Gallery and learned they resell for the low on the secondary market, New Balance has exploded into our lives (me and wifey) as I have bought her 6 pairs in the last few months (probably due to Eddie Win videos) and she is in love (with the kicks😄), and I have yet to get some so I have chosen both those A.L.D.1300s
Just copped a pair of 237's and Im really impressed by the value and quality, they feel great and they look dope, definitely deserving of all the surrounding hype rn.
Love this channel fr! This was already great! Can’t wait for part 2 and 3! Imo you can never own enough pairs NB’s🤪. Keep up the GREAT content brothers! Peace ✌🏽
I remember rocking NB for the first time in 2012. Ever since then, I have not looked back. Literally the BEST sneaker in the game. At this point, 90% of my collection is NB baby
ngl whether its a numeric or runner, the quality is always A1. I also love the fact that the pricing really reflects on the quality of the materials. As much love as I have with other brands (looking at you Jordan/Nike), the quality has not been justified for how much they're letting it go for.
Yesterday I was drooling at a grey pair of 990 V3s. Also an all black is right up my dreams. Personally I m nt a fan of the vintage look, because i get my yellow sole shoes over time by wearing them and seeing how they age. I agree new balance are on a roll right now
My cousin called the rise of new balance in like 2008 he would always say ‘new balance gon be on one day watch’ and we as kids was like whattt but he really called it
Great video as always! I’m honestly hoping Kawhi wins another title and points to his shoes and says “Perfectly new-balanced…as all things should be.” 😂🤷🏽♂️👟
i'm more on comfy side rather than trendy side, new balance gave me comfort since i stand and walk a lot. i do own some nike's and adidas but my 990,574 and 997 gave me the most comfort of them all. no hate for nike,adidas and other brands but right now i don't really care about hype or popularity. i just want some comfy shoes.
I was sleeping on them for the longest and then I got into the Made in USA sneakers and now I’m upset I didn’t get into NB earlier. It’s really simple, they make dope stylish sneakers with top notch quality. I love Nike and Adidas but sometimes you’ll spend 200+ dollars on a Jordan retro or pair of Yeezys and the quality can be hit or miss. EVERY pair of NBs I own are great quality and I haven’t been disappointed once. And they have so many models that there’s something for everyone
Saucony, and Ewing please. Ewing was never in Eastbay as I recall. Dope channel yo! (Been a sub, 😆) peace P.S. it's dope y'all spun the "Eastbay" don't, nostalgia indeed ...I knew I was forgetting something, "DaDa supreme, before the spinners...got em for Christmas in 10th grade..mad comfy.
haha What up Carlton! The Dada spinners take me wayyyy back. Everyone wanted those. And yes a Eqing and Saucony video is imminent. Thanks for subscribing brodie. Appreciate you!
Interesting that you made this video now, I was watching Jacques Slate (slade?) talk about this a bit too with regards to Nike sort of failing a bit and people getting off their train. On one hand, it makes sense...it's becoming crazy that I can't just walk into my local Nike store and get a pair of like Jordan III's because all these hyped kids bought them to resale or because it is so crazy popular they can't keep demand (which is BS IMO) I have no doubt that Covid and shipping/global supply issues have made this even worse but point stands. The flip side is like you said, I think people are just looking for something new and fresh and while I do love my new Dunks and AF1 mids it is getting a bit boring to see like every 3rd person rocking pure white AF1s, AJ1 mid/hi's or some form of Dunks as well. I never personally liked the shape or style for NB but I do very much appreciated that they still make *some* of their shoes in the US, I have toyed with the idea of getting them, and for an old geezer like me the arch support would be great ;) Awesome and timely video as always!
What up Daniel! Well whenever you want to make the jump and buy some New Balances hit me up in the DMs on IG and i'll shoot you some recommendations. Thanks as always!
Thanks Hendrik! Yeah I figured I have the sneaker right there so why not bust it out. Man I've been seeing some crazy dope dyed 2002rs on IG! If you dye yours DM me. I'd love to seee how it comes out! All the best -Bryan
Can't wait for the next video. After watched this video I saw that they really had some of dope collab. And that makes me feel like I'm looking forward for what's their next project they gonna pull. And as usual, great video bro nacho 👍 P/s: pretty rare when you're doing video with a sneaker in your hand 😀
It feels like they care more about the costumers and about the designers. Plus the quality is always insane.
Agree! I had a friend get sent a pair with the logo flipped upside down. They sent him a new pair right away after he sent out an email. He had already owned the shoe for months before sending out the email too haha

Lol I had a pair of the 990’s back in high school, they were fucking great.
The Navy jound pair made me fall in love with new balance I have never bought a pair of my life I am a Jordan one guy but this is the best sneaker I’ve seen all year bought two pairs I can’t wait to wear them
Glad you did a a video on the collaborations New balance is going strong... Thank you for educating me on the different collaborations... I'm trying to grab a couple pair for the winter!!
Always been a big fan of NB's, premium quality super comfortable at a reasonable price, I ain't a big fan of collabs simply so the shoe goes out of my price range so I tend to stick with the normal 410, 373 or Trailbusters colorways which in all honesty still look stunning.
That’s one of the best things about New Balance. They have some fire GRe
Great video keep up the work bro I always watch ur videos in school 😭🔥💯🙌
Lmaoo that’s a big win for us! Thank you Steven
I don't own their collabs, but have the purple 550s and a set of multi coloured 5740's and damn they comfortable.
The NB hype is real this year! Its all of the collaborations with all other designers that is driving up the hype. I just hope they keep the stocks high. NB are the best running sneakers that I’ve been wearing since the 90’s. I can’t wait for my 650’s high coming next year!!
New balance is still killing it 7 months later :D
I just bought my first new balance. It’s the 500 on sale. I would say that though it’s a cheaper option, it is actually very comfortable.
One of my favorite podcast 💯 The NB 550🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Eric!
I remember as a kid wearing new balances made you the biggest outcast ever.
Now you're cool.
THIS is why we should never care about trends and always wear what you like.
Another dope drop. Thanks for not sleeping on new balance
I'd like buy one. But almost nothing available any size of any color in Amazon.
Great video once again I never new about this side of New Balance shoe company.
Glad we could introduce you!
NB are so good at maintaining his fans and also branching out to the new ones. The pre-orders is revolutionary to fight againts bots and basically pro consumer.
Since I copped the first New Balance Numeric, I always try to find another good one
I love the New Balance Skate Shoes too
Hopefully I can see a dope collaboration with the numeric line
@@KenGutierrez01 I'm sure we will see on in the very near future
Waiting patiently for the P650's to be shipped. I've become a new balance fan of late. Have four pairs and counting.
Your subs keep going up the more vids you make. Keep it up!
Appreciate you Brian!
Love NB👍🏾 been rocking them heavy since the early 2000’s I keep me a couple or pairs. Just bought my grandson’s a pair for Christmas 🎄
Growing up in the DMV, the 992’s and 993’s were the trappers favorite lol
The go to sneaker in the DMV
I saw those salmon coloured 1300s and your green pair on Vintage Kicks Gallery and learned they resell for the low on the secondary market, New Balance has exploded into our lives (me and wifey) as I have bought her 6 pairs in the last few months (probably due to Eddie Win videos) and she is in love (with the kicks😄), and I have yet to get some so I have chosen both those A.L.D.1300s
Just copped a pair of 237's and Im really impressed by the value and quality, they feel great and they look dope, definitely deserving of all the surrounding hype rn.
The quality is always on point with NB
Love this channel fr! This was already great! Can’t wait for part 2 and 3! Imo you can never own enough pairs NB’s🤪. Keep up the GREAT content brothers! Peace ✌🏽
Yeah my NB990V5s are cooked! I need to re-up soon. Thanks for the kind words Twan! Appreciate you bro
@@NachoAverageFinds i’ve still have 2 kinda fresh pairs of those. Loving every walking mile in them. Peace ✌🏽
You didn't highlight the Bodega collab they had.. that was fire. and i personally think 997S is the best NB Silhouette
I remember rocking NB for the first time in 2012. Ever since then, I have not looked back. Literally the BEST sneaker in the game. At this point, 90% of my collection is NB baby
ngl whether its a numeric or runner, the quality is always A1. I also love the fact that the pricing really reflects on the quality of the materials. As much love as I have with other brands (looking at you Jordan/Nike), the quality has not been justified for how much they're letting it go for.
can you state the release dates in the next video and show the shoes chronologically? dope video man
Yesterday I was drooling at a grey pair of 990 V3s. Also an all black is right up my dreams. Personally I m nt a fan of the vintage look, because i get my yellow sole shoes over time by wearing them and seeing how they age. I agree new balance are on a roll right now
Yeah I’ve been drooling over this JFG 990V3s. So Fire. Thanks for watching Alex!
Hoping for a wider market here in Ph. Nice content.
New Balance needs to step up production for my PH homies!
My cousin called the rise of new balance in like 2008 he would always say ‘new balance gon be on one day watch’ and we as kids was like whattt but he really called it
Just got the New Balance 550. and i can say they are really comfortable and the quality is amazing!
Which colorway did you get? I had some red ones and some navy red ones too
@@NachoAverageFinds The green ones with a black toe
you should def add the bricks & wood collab new balance did to one of the videos
Ohhh good call! Noted.
Fire vids my guy 😄 💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻 I watched the beginings of new balance vid and learned alot from that
I have noticed as of late the different colours they are incorporating into their shoes now.
Not being able to afford shoes is what gives the shoes worth. That's why I went with New Balance. I put my entire style into one pair of shoes
What are those green Adidas to the left behind you?
Great video as always! I’m honestly hoping Kawhi wins another title and points to his shoes and says “Perfectly new-balanced…as all things should be.” 😂🤷🏽♂️👟
haha I hope he wins because I'm a die hard Clippers fan
i'm more on comfy side rather than trendy side, new balance gave me comfort since i stand and walk a lot.
i do own some nike's and adidas but my 990,574 and 997 gave me the most comfort of them all.
no hate for nike,adidas and other brands but right now i don't really care about hype or popularity. i just want some comfy shoes.
I was sleeping on them for the longest and then I got into the Made in USA sneakers and now I’m upset I didn’t get into NB earlier. It’s really simple, they make dope stylish sneakers with top notch quality. I love Nike and Adidas but sometimes you’ll spend 200+ dollars on a Jordan retro or pair of Yeezys and the quality can be hit or miss. EVERY pair of NBs I own are great quality and I haven’t been disappointed once. And they have so many models that there’s something for everyone
nb always had been in Asian fashion like 574 and 990, but 2002r 550 really just popped up when it wasn't popular before
You might think I'm crazy but Fila have some badass shoes too along with track suits
I've seen you before. I like your style. Thanks for the video!
I feel like I know you. Did you even attend school in Arizona?
Saucony, and Ewing please. Ewing was never in Eastbay as I recall. Dope channel yo! (Been a sub, 😆) peace
P.S. it's dope y'all spun the "Eastbay" don't, nostalgia indeed ...I knew I was forgetting something, "DaDa supreme, before the spinners...got em for Christmas in 10th grade..mad comfy.
haha What up Carlton! The Dada spinners take me wayyyy back. Everyone wanted those. And yes a Eqing and Saucony video is imminent. Thanks for subscribing brodie. Appreciate you!
Great, waiting for the next vid on NB
Thanks Juan appreciate it!
I'm quite fascinated by the design of New Balance. Might cop one. Thank you once again for making another great content. 🔥🙏
Dope video bro 👌🏼
Thanks brodie!
Cant wait for part 2 and 3
Thank you Bernandino! We’ll have a part 2 in the next coming weeks
501 is fire! So comfy.
Love those
What are those adidas on the bottom left?
I love the new balances I have but I prefer to get them on sale, sometimes they fit weird and they’re expensive so it can be hard to justify
I remember the new balance leather hi top basketball shoes in the mid "80's.... quality. Wish they still made em.
Interesting that you made this video now, I was watching Jacques Slate (slade?) talk about this a bit too with regards to Nike sort of failing a bit and people getting off their train.
On one hand, it makes sense...it's becoming crazy that I can't just walk into my local Nike store and get a pair of like Jordan III's because all these hyped kids bought them to resale or because it is so crazy popular they can't keep demand (which is BS IMO) I have no doubt that Covid and shipping/global supply issues have made this even worse but point stands.
The flip side is like you said, I think people are just looking for something new and fresh and while I do love my new Dunks and AF1 mids it is getting a bit boring to see like every 3rd person rocking pure white AF1s, AJ1 mid/hi's or some form of Dunks as well.
I never personally liked the shape or style for NB but I do very much appreciated that they still make *some* of their shoes in the US, I have toyed with the idea of getting them, and for an old geezer like me the arch support would be great ;)
Awesome and timely video as always!
What up Daniel! Well whenever you want to make the jump and buy some New Balances hit me up in the DMs on IG and i'll shoot you some recommendations. Thanks as always!
Love the vid bro, im looking to dye a pair of 2002r in green dye
Also I liked the fact that you have a pair in hand, that you were talking about. It adds a different layer to the vid dude
Thanks Hendrik! Yeah I figured I have the sneaker right there so why not bust it out. Man I've been seeing some crazy dope dyed 2002rs on IG! If you dye yours DM me. I'd love to seee how it comes out! All the best -Bryan
great video bro, what do u think of the stone island x NB shoes coming out
Thanks David! To be honest , I’m not a huge fan of that tear away look
This dope! I’m
Locked in
Can't wait for the next video. After watched this video I saw that they really had some of dope collab. And that makes me feel like I'm looking forward for what's their next project they gonna pull. And as usual, great video bro nacho 👍
P/s: pretty rare when you're doing video with a sneaker in your hand 😀
Thanks Ace Panda! I wish we had more sneakers in hand to review but we don't get sent anything haha Appreciate you watching as always
I had a pair of 992s that lasted for almost two years.
Thing is cuz people still kinda do sleep on them, older drops are hard to find even on resale man smh 😤😭
the damn first 2 ALD NB are non existent in bigger sizes
Yes
Yessir
Good segment, Bryan.
The Louise Vuitton Virgil Abloh trainer took design cues from the NB 550.
You gotta cover the Bodega collabs also!!
Yeah i have it on the list!
