I have 2 pairs of the Made in USA 993's. Made in Lawrence ,Massachusetts. They look very similar to the 991 and I think they came out in 2008.. I went through several pairs and the newest ones I have were made around 2018 and in 2020 NB made a limited release of the 993 in Vintage Indigo blue which is beautiful and goes well with jeans. Love the classic NBs. Glad NB still makes them and glad someone else appreciates them like i do. Good job Hes!
@@rkli-orbz-il843 I know this comment is old - but I would recommend purchasing a shoe specifically designed for running. These are more of an everyday shoe imo. If you have any walk/run shops in your area stop by. They'll size you and determine what type of shoe to look for depending on if you're a neutral, supinated, or pronated walker.
Having 4eeee feet and rheumatoid arthritis, NB has been my go to shoes nowadays. They fit perfectly and doesn't kill my feet after 30 mins of walking. Gonna try to get me a pair also 😀
New balance 99 series are my go to for wide fit. Even better if u exchange the insole with a cushier option. Best materials and a timeless look. Just because my foot is wide doesnt mean I cant be fly!
@@Omegabalmung99 I’m 12.5 maybe 2E. It’s more of a toe thing for me. my big toe is weird and needs space. The 2002R isn’t made in the USA/England but the fit on those is amazing. Check out Hes’ review of the blue ones. That shoe fits me amazing, ymmv obviously.
I have a pair of these, and they are definitely one of the best looking and with the superior material quality out there for NB. Gotta say tho the toebox is a bit snug, I went for the same size I have on my 992 and 990, and it's just a bit narrow, so gotta be careful before picking these up. Also, don't expect the same level of comfort as a 990, its midsole is quite stiff in comparison, and I wouldn't buy them for the purpose of being work shoes or daily beater
These r my grails. But i also have the 990V6 and the 993 and those 2 are waaaaaaaay more comfy. The soles on the 991 are just a bit too stiff. Hope they soften up more as i wear them.
992 is goated but I love the 991 sole. I wish there was a 992.5 of some sort where it takes the upper or sole of another shoe and did a swap making a new silhouette entirely.
Have you ever done a video for shoes that are best to wear as a retail worker? Keeping in mind that sometimes retail workers have to climb on things, so the super soft shoes don't really work for it Models like this shoe probably would, but are also pricey for just work right
Hi, i want to ask you a question. My foot length is 25.5cm and it is equal to EUR40,5. I have NB550 (EUR40,5) and it feel a bit loose for me. Should i size down if i buy NB991?
I think the 991s are low key the best looking of the 99x series. If I wasn't in the wide feet gang, I'd buy 10 more pairs of these. [ I also made the mistake of going down a half size on my only pair but it's still awesome ]
I’m wearing 993 US10 & it’s been my favourite NB. Now I juz got a pair of 991 but I have to to take a size up US10.5 . Maybe I got wide feet , 993 is much wider
I love my 991s. Personally I own the Slam Jam 991s that released last year and they are pretty soft but stable, and the materials and 3M on it is just amazing.
Great review on a great shoe. I bought this model last week, I went a half size up and it feels great for me. Super great quality. The 991 are a low key right now but I think it will be the next 992. Aime Leon Dore is about to launch several variations of 991s 😏. I bet it will participate on the future hype of this model. Thanks for the video @heskicks
@@shikaka2325 I went half a size up because I heard it was better for wide feets and it is great since then. I did the same with the Palace model that dropped a few months ago. Please notice that since then I went a size up for every model I bought (990v2, v3, v6 and 860v2 and also on AJ3) and it is the best decision.
Hey hes I was just watching the video of the brooks aurora bl and you mentioned that you were going to start running, Have you tried it or are you now running???? Great videos handsome boii!!!!
It's been a DC thing since the 1970's now look we always would hit them with the nice Hugo Boss swimsuit with the New balance off the top fresh 1988 style but up to date 😁
@@michaelpalm2210 One would have expected that Apple's chief officer would have upgraded to the 992 by the iPhone's unveiling in 2007, but that wasn't the case. It wasn't until later that year that he began getting regular use out of the sleek silvery grey New Balance 992, the shoe most associated with him today.
Isn't the 990v6 coming out this year? Last 99x pair I had was a 990v4 in triple black. Wore it as a work shoe on concrete walking 15k-20k steps a day. The sole lost its comfort to me after about 6-8 months of 40+ hours of wear a week.
Hi, new NMD_ R1 TR w water repellent and continental rubber outsole are just available. I’m considering to get them but can’t find a review yet. Please check them out . Thanks!
there are some variations to this shoe, you have the original 991, there's also the 991.5 and the 991.9 (that I know of), in these .5 and .9 variations the sole gets swapped with soles of other numbers. I feel like the turquoise black 991.9 is a must have for any new balance lover
I like the 991s but the lasting on all of the made in UK shoes is goofy in the toe/forefoot. I have these 991s and like them but prefer the fit of the 990 more. The 1500s made in UK fit super goofy
I had bought the 991 back in 2004 and was made in USA. Unparalleled quality and crazy cushioning The UK version is a huge disappointment, it's a joke compared to the original one, the midsole feels like being made of wood. I tried it in a store but didn't buy it, it's only for fashion victims who can't compare.

991s made in UK are beautifully made. So comfortable as well.
Can they be used as a running shoe
not for wide feet

I love the wide foot options for NB in most models!
IMO skip this model if you have wide feet or thick feet.

I bought a pair for around 120€, best purchase ever, would buy other colorways
I bought these in-store as a mistake. I thought they were 992s. But these are so damn nice. They’re my work beaters. The materials are crazy good
You might need to break in the midsole when it comes to 991. It will be much more comfortable after breaking in
Went a half size up in these and they fit perfect with a lil room in the toes.
great review... took a shot everytime you said quality materials, and now I am drunk.
lololol!
I blacked out dude
General Rule: Made in UK - TTS, Made in US - Down .5 size

The midsole, is it like airmax 90 feels?
@@stevankenzoNot necessarily. Closer to the AM1 than AM90, but there’s less of a distinct heel to toe drop feeling IMO.
No, much, much more comfortable

if the number is 992.5, the upper will be of a 992, only the sole is swapped, that's usually how they do it
992 gang stand up
Fire!!! And comfy as hell
Appreciate this vid Hes, but why not throw v2s? The 991 has V2s now and they phased these out I think.

i agree.. i got them in tts n they still fit tight from a width perspective 😩😩
@@nbfeen were u able to break them in? I like this one but im undecided because they dont offer them for wide feet.
@@randomguitarnote8887 nope I sold them lol
@@nbfeen lol, 990 it is then. Thanks 🤙
I’m wearing 993 US10 & it’s been my favourite NB.
Now I juz got a pair of 991 but I have to to take a size up US10.5 . Maybe I got wide feet , 993 is much wider
Hey He’s, thanks for another video. Do you mind providing a link for the New Balance FuelCell Rebel V2? Can’t find em.
I remember the time I bought these there's only 800 view reviews on TH-cam about this shoe. Time flies faster
You should do a new pants video. Where do you buy all the pants that you wear for your on foot videos? I like the cut of them.
I love my 991s. Personally I own the Slam Jam 991s that released last year and they are pretty soft but stable, and the materials and 3M on it is just amazing.
Same. I love the slam jams. I also have the pink 991s. They're pretty fire. Think the 991s are my fav model personally
I wish they would do a kind of protro 991 or 992 with a fuelcell midsole replacing the EVA
I don't know why they're still not using it
The upcoming 990v6 have Fuelcell. Looks like NB is listening, lol.
Just got this model in wistful mauve colorway!!
I like the 991’s but I’m in the wide feet gang. So 992’s fit me so much better
same here 😩.. Do u think going up .5 size would help?
@@nbfeen Yo, I would but I’m a size 13. 🤦🏾♂️😩. I refused to wear a big ass 14 lol, so I usually take out the insoles and that works fine
@@GNo7786 lmao I feel you 😩
If you like those get the sns 991 peter those are amazing!! Another sleepers!!!
How does the grey compare to the other classic 99X pairs? In some photos it looks a little tan than grey.
Do you know where I can buy shoe lace (gray) of NB 991 made in uk?

Did you go up a half size because you have a wide foot? Or because you heard you have to? Any help would be appreciated

I think 991 like Birkenstock. You really need to wear it certain period of time, will be comfortable
Amazing sneaker, my dream is to buy such a pair
If you have wide feet def go up .5 size… Typically made in England pairs run more narrow than made in USA pairs like the 992 n 993’s
It's been a DC thing since the 1970's now look we always would hit them with the nice Hugo Boss swimsuit with the New balance off the top fresh 1988 style but up to date 😁
What Colorway is this?
Picked up a pair in my size under retail. Had to cop once I found out Steve Jobs wore these in 2007 when he introduced the first iPhone 😂
steve jobs wore the 992.........but who can tell

so good!
Amazing content
Would you say the 992 sole is taller then the 991?
Yes a little bit taller
Do the 992 fit the same as the 991
No. 991s fit more narrow. Recommended to go up half size.
Stay true to size. I.e. Nike: size 10, NB 992: Size 9.5. NB 991: Size 10
Um dos melhores tênis do mundo.

Check out the 1500s. Also Made in the UK and imo look much better
Do a much needed review of Nike StreakFly... #StreakFly 👟
If you from Baltimore ("Baldimor") you know..

Toe area volume seems shallow. I don’t have a particularly wide foot either.
why NB always release new 990 series exactly before economy crisis coming?🤣
7:54 man🤦♀️
what I do lol.
@@heskicks I know I'm year late, but I believe you said "911s" instead of "991s"

Go get someone pregnant 1st...then buy the shoes😁

Keep sleeping on these ya'll.
Weird? I thought they were made in America.
You mean a normal size N logo ...the large one is stupid ugly although i find a lot of their newer shoes just get increasingly ugly
The new Grandpa shoe
Best paired with Jean shorts, a Fanny pack and a Corvette
They are tts.

Cool
U use to impress with your content now it seems like your running out of ideas ?
Whats wrong
Nah, looks old fashion like steve job wore it 40 years ago.
Zero out of 10 for this shoe !!
