About to cop these ASAP! Awesome video as always Seth!
How is it thus far? Compared to V5?
Just bought these today. Straight to feet - literally wore it out the store and walked an hour and a half straight. Love it.
Just grabbed these yesterday after owning the V5’s for a year and falling in love with newbies. The V6 is just soooo good looking on feet and looks so nice with athletic wear and pops a little more against a simple fit: absolutely love them
Did u buy your size or half size smaller like they recommend on the site? Thanks
Great review Seth! I'm moving away from my Nikes and Adidas and looking at NB. The U.S.A. made 990v6s really caught my eye and your review was super helpful!
I lost over 150 lbs while wearing a pair of v5's every day on walks. Still have that pair of Navy v5's that are worn down all the way thru the outsole. I'm currently destroying a pair of 2002R's while maintaining my fitness journey, walking, cycling and going to the gym 5 days a week. As soon as they are similarly falling apart the v6 is going to be my next pair of every day beaters and I can't wait to get my hands on them. I hope we get a ton of colorways on them the way we did with the v5s
Nice! Keep it up friend!
That's awesome man congratulations 👏👏👏
@@terryhughes7196 thx man every day hustling
I started a new job last year and weighed about 200 to 210 pounds, I bought a pair of 990 v5 because all of my other shoes couldn’t handle the work load on my feet. Now a year later I’m 155 and have never looked better to my friends and family. I still have my castle rock v5s but they are really beat. Definitely want to try this shoe but the 993 looks cleaner, the chunky midsole on the v6 kinda spooks me.
I'm still 50/50 on these, need to see different materials and colors but these are definitely growing on me
For me these are the New Balances that I would only consider if I had every other New Balance that I wanted. I like them but they are probably the last on the list.
Thanks Seth, another great vid! Been waiting on these quintessential Dad shoes all year too! 🤙
I tried my first pair of 990v5 after watching your videos and they have literally changed my life. I have Achilles tendinitis due to really flat feet. It would start hurting really bad at the end of a work week.. upon switching I have yet to have that pain come back!! definitely buying these!
Standard width ? Or
^^^
great review, seth!
i am a big 990 v1 and v2 fan. maybe i will warm up to these over time.
Every time I see these they look better and better. When I first saw them, I didn't necessarily like them. But now, they make the older 990 models look almost ancient. Teddy is a genius. This shoe is also an amazing platform for interesting color blocking, far more than the v5
I feel like if you look at these top down (as if you're wearing them) they're fire. If you look at them from the side, that midsole ain't it...
I really like the looks of those and I can't wait to get a pair on my feet. Love the videos 👍✌️
Definitely want this pair. Absolutely loved the V5s
Seth, really great video. Thank you.
So stoked on these; grabbed my pair and definitely going to be back for whatever collab they do!
Just purchased a pair of V6"s from the New Balance site and they did say to try a 1/2 size down and got a perfect fit. I have a wide foot and the X-Wide is perfect. Still have my V5's that have held up well. Good Review.
Love my V5s and these look like yet another common NB W definitely gonna get me a pair
Just a huge thanks cannot wait for the new ones coming our way ...never fails to impress
I'll be rocking these all around the dmv.
If you are a fan of awesome materials and great quality and don't care much for "hype" then this shoe is for you. Can't wait to try the new iteration of the legendary 990 line
Love how almost every video you kinda change the background to match the shoes being reviewed
I was hesitant on getting the 990v6s but when they came in shipment from my job I just ended up pulling the plug on em. I love them joints lol, but you said yours didn’t come with extra set of laces, but mines came with an extra set of grey laces. That’s weird. But love the vid bro. Keep going.
I loved fuel cell in the new balance rebel v2 running shoes, so I'm looking into buying the 990 v6s.
Can't go wrong with grey, but I'm really interested in seeing the other two colorways that are teased at the end of the Teddy Santis Season 2 lineup before I cop a pair
I have the 990v6 but I'm waiting to buy the 990v1 in the green with the yellow New Balance logo.
Great review. I love these. I’ll pick up a pair soon. Only reason why I didn’t pick up on release day is because I just purchased the 2002r protection pack “Rain cloud”
Same my rain cloud 2002r are pretty much the perfect grey NB shoe, I might cop different colorways for the V6
Best one of the protection pack imo, on my list. I think I'll be copping these and the Action Bronsons if they ever release.
I bought these on a recommendation from my podiatrist after injuring my ankle. Not only are they the best I've worn in terms of support and comfort for the ankle, they are surprisingly cute on. I'm not a sneaker head, but I own a fair number of designer sneakers and will find it difficult to go back. Fantastic quality for the price - I'm not surprised this shoe has so many fans!
Can’t wait to get these in hand. 🔥
You should start doing a series of reviews called "Back in time", and review older more forgotten sneakers! For example, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Melo.
It comes with grey laces too
These are fire I need NB1 to return cause it has crazy potential regarding colorways
Hey Seth is that a blue dial rolex datejust on your wrist? 👀
I love new balance man, the design, material, and the overall look always hits me 🔥💯. I wish I had a pair, but money is the issue.
Btw, great video as always Seth.
I bought mine used for half the price 990v5 on eBay. 👍👍👍
Thnx for the review. I am a size 11 and typically wear Pegasus and ultraboost 1.0 and go half size up. That being said, should I go half size up w/ these bad boys?
def looking into grabbing a v6. think i wanna wait for a different colorway tho. something unique. greys a classic just want something a bit different
Received a pair today. They're so nice!!
I can't wait to get my pair
So glad I tried these on in-store
I'm a true size 10 in nike and jordans. I ended up with a 9.5 wide in the 990v6. I never would have thought I had a wide foot but the rep helping me could tell before I even put my foot in the shoe. If buying online i would have just went a half size down so glad i went in to try em on.
To summarize: these run long and narrow.
can you tell the difference between a standard and a wide shoe? Does it look too wide? I'm wondering if that would be my case, I don't think I have a wide foot but some shoes feel a little tight for me even in my true size, so I'm wondering... haha
@@andrescastillo07you can definitely tell the difference between the wide and standard.
When is the navy colorway releasing?
After losing out on this mornings Baklava's (no shock personally) I really do need to just grab a V6 period. I'm personally becoming a slight NB fan also after finding a pair of 992 Greys and 2002r OG Dark Grey at the Platos near me last month. My God, they are comfortable! So..I admit, I haven't tried V3s...V4s, 5 or 6 yet. But I do expect these to be just as-or perhaps even more comfortable. And you are correct, the quality of these are very impressive!
I need a direct comparison between these and the 993🔥 one of those will be my first NB
You hit every beat. There’s a reason you’re almost at a mil. Much love
He almost @ a Mill because there over a million Ppl out there that have no brains at all & no personality. 😂☠️
Man fuel cell is soft but fresh foam x is so bouncy. Especially on the trail more v2. You gotta try it. I had to learn how to walk in them without running lol it’s a shoe begging to be unleashed. It’s wild
Out of the 990v6, 990v5, 550s or any new balance shoes which is the most comfortable and better looking shoe @Seth Fowler I’m okay with either one as long as I can get a new balance shoe
Great review. I've been wearing new balance sneakers for over 32 years now. The 900 series has been my go to shoe since the 90's. I've learned switching out the cheap insole for a more cushioned and/or a supportive one, and the thickness of the socks you wear, makes a hell of difference in how any sneaker fits. Respect to my fellow New Balance lovers! 👟 💯👍🏼💪🏼
What's ur favorite shoes since you've been following the brand so long
@@kor_cinnamongotta be 998, but we will see since I just ordered the v6’s.
What socks do you recommend with 990s?
@@kor_cinnamon The 993's, any version of them by far. They have a roomier/wider platform and are more comfortable for my feet. I always buy New Balance insoles to replace the paper thin ones they come with. They used to be made for New Balance by a company named "10 seconds." (Look this brand up, you wont regret it!) They gave this company license to put their New Balance logo on their already existing insoles at one time. I recently learned New Balance no longer partners with 10 seconds anymore, so I just buy the 10 seconds branded insoles. They are the exact same ones just a different color. They're super comfortable. If you search for the 10 seconds brand you'll see they have multiple different ones from just cushion to motion control and everything in-between. I hope this helps in your decision making process. 💯✌🏼
@@edwardlocnguyen From what Ive learned over the decades, buying so many different models, it's trial and error. What I mean by that is, foot shape, the last (platform) of the New Balance shoe (or any running shoe for that matter) is built on, your weight, any issues with your feet, insole preference, (minimum thickness to maximum support and anything in-between) what the sock feels like as you walk or run. Take your time if you're buying it in store. Which in my opinion is preferable. The best ones take their time to get you fitted correctly before you leave. That's why I love New Balance Company Stores. The are the best. Places like Road Runner Sports (just outside of Philadelphia here on the east coast) and The Philadelphia Runner here in Philly is customer focused as well. Any shop where their only focus is on running shoes and apparel, you can't lose. 💯✌🏼
Toe box is great I always go a half size down because I don’t like my sneakers looking like flippers (fyi NB sneakers can run big). Okay so comfort level is good but the material towards back of shoe feels like it’s gonna let my heel slip right out the back collar of shoe. New balance usually makes a taller collar to keep your foot snug and secure in back as you walk in the shoe. I wear lots of 990v2, 990v3 and I also own the v5. I think the design uses a long thin upper tongue to form against the top of your foot to help keep secure.
With a lifestyle runner I feel like you need a shoe with a deeper fit in collar. Suede is lighter tone grey compared to previous models even though they use castle rock traditional color way. Quality of suede is is fine and thin, usually I would say suede is a bit more thick and premium. The eyelets and eyestay (holes for laces) are a bit thin to. The roll of the shoe when walking is organic and you can feel a standard thick midsole. I don’t think anyone’s feet would be hurting, overall good model but try previous versions against the v6.
A pretty good update, appears more modern compared to the last model. I dig em for sure.
Still prefer the aesthetics of the 990v5 more but that's up to preference. Might lean towards the 990v6 since it's more comfortable
@@Kevin-mm8go same here🙌🏻
@@Kevin-mm8go the 990V5’s are so much better looking imo
I dig the blue apothecary!
It does come with a extra pair of laces. Mine package came with a box with grey laces.
I prefer previous 990's with a cleaner look of the New Balance logo on the side
I got these on holiday to greece! I wanted them for a while and they are sooooooo tasteful and high class
I love the 990v5. I wanna get me the v6 but I’ll wait till I see more colors. (Not because I don’t like the classic grey color way, I just want some more variety cause I already own the grey v5 and an all black v5)
Just grabbed a pair!! Would love to see some Big guy colorway love!! Getting tired of just gray and black in the XXwide variants!!
While they are using their top tier foam (FuelCell), the stack height is similar to past 990s. Suede, leather and padded material add a tremendous amount of weight.
This is not to say you can't run in them, but it's a poor option if your sole purpose is strictly performance compared to modern running shoes. Instead, this is a fantastic everyday shoe and looks fantastic.
These grew on me so quick
gonna wait on the navy color
I need these!
Finally got a pair. They're super comfortable and it's really a jack of all trades shoe. I've been wearing Ultraboosts for casual walking for the past 3 years and they've always felt a little too light and unstable. The 990v6 has similar comfort but feels much more balanced and solid. They do fit a bit narrow and there's a small gap at the tip but if I sized down it would feel way too narrow. I rather be a little long than have pain from being squeezed. I went TTS. And these look even better in the sun!
THANK YOU its Awesome I love it
Got a pair the mid vs the v5 quarter of an inch narrower. Mine came with 2nd set of laces different color
is it good for stability or for flat footed like the 860?
I have those blue socks, love em ! Highly recommended. The Heather mid socks are also fire ! I'm considering getting these as I love my v5s and I'm a 48 year old so dad shoes are right up my street. I do however love the Action Bronson v6's - I hope they get a recent release, resell isn't crazy and that it's not just an extremely limited friends and family style pop up. I love my colorful NB's as my interest for NB started around the time of the max hectic x Stüssy 580 collabs, which Stray Rats have recently released a very similar color way to those. However, you can never go wrong with a clean grey NB.
Overpriced as shit , unless you’re using ur parents card
What's the blue socks called?
Two laces? Hey Seth, great video! I got mine yesterday in Philly (met you in line) and got two laces/ grey and white. Might want to check your box again…
same
Would these be good for standing all day? Ima barber so I need some good support and cushion
these look so much better than the pictures of the prototypes
when you compare these to the 990 v5's it's like night and day how different they are, they look much more like the 990 v3 which are my favorite, so I think these will be my new favorite
My v5 still holding up well, till then I’m not getting the v6. The v6 looks more gym-esque, less lifestyle look imo
Seth 990V6 or the 2002R for the fall? Please help
Price increase sucks but MIUSA and MIUK models always feel worth the money. Sucks that my feet don’t respond well to so much cushioning and such a high heel/toe drop anymore
I just got the Action Bronson 990v6 and I’m hooked I wore them everyday last week, first time in a long time I actually wore the same shoe all week, I put on my Jordan 4s after that. Walked around for like 5min, and said no way took them right off. Threw the NBs on. It’s insane how uncomfortable Jordan’s are.
after trying my true size, I will recommend going half a size down
Love my 990 v1's, 990v6 on order.
How do these compare in size to 2002R? I'll go TTS 11.5, then wish I got an 11, never fails..lol
is the 990v6 and 2002r has same sizing or fitting? thank you so much
Nobody has done a video comparing these to the hyped 993 but they are the exact same price so it’s a tough choice. I ended up going with these and eager for them to arrive.
I got my pair with an extra Castle rock grey laces 😊the 990v6 is the latest and greatest.
For any late watchers. Dont go true to your size on 990v3s or 2002s...they are a deffo half size up. Im an 11 in those and bought an 11 in the v6. The toe box is tighter and the NB patch between the bottom lace is quite rigid meaning there is less room across the top of your toes and you are squished in. Its a shame as they are actually longer than the 999v3s etc, and its their design that is amazing. Definitely need to try them on with the thickest pair of socks you own that you wear all the time. Then you will be the judge
Coming with extra grey laces
What I can gather from this review is, for a snug fit go down half a size or for a slightly roomy fit go tts. Nice one Seth 👍🏻
If you’re already spending 150+ on a pair of sneakers I don’t see why anyone trip over an extra couple bones
Because people are used to spending $200 on some hype shit and don't actually care about quality its a shame
@@xKeville Yes but at the same time you’re paying for the brand when you buy those hype sneakers
@@rileybabcock6834 yea and thats the issue it allows companies like nike to keep pumping shit quality shoes
$50 has much more value to consumers with inflation...
With this type of quality it doesn’t make a difference. When you buying a Jordan 1 with material quality that matches $120-$150 shoes
Fs going to have some version 9f these. Maybe olives and 3ple black
How are New Balance 990 shoes compared to Adidas Ultra Boosts?
Love my 990v5s. Most comfortable shoe ive ever worn.
Me too. Very comfortable
I've had tons of 880's and 574 that I get in 11.5 but my 993's are 11. Not sure what size I need
I have the 4s as one of my weekly shoes they are starting to get pretty beat. Someone with wide flat caveman feet the 990s are awesome. I will be picking up the 6 in the next few weeks for sure.
Which pants you had on in the beginning?
990V5 have been to many countries with me and I wouldn’t travel without them
Compared to ultraboost sizing?
I have found the v6 to be more narrow in the midfoot I measured vs v5 new in my box yes has extra pair of laces
The v5 I'd better quarter of an inch wider in the mid foot. I tried v6 in wide it fits but v5 feels more comfy
I have Narrow feet and the 574 STANDARD width for Men is even Wide for me so I bought a Women’s model. What 990V5 width would you recommend for me? I plan on getting a Navy V5
#MikeRobbins: I felt the same about the v6. Sizing is narrow and long, nothing like the v5. The v6 was at least 1/2 size too long and a full size too narrow in toebox. I sent the v6 back to NB the day I received the shipment. v5 is a much better shoe all around -- sizing, fit and the high quality materials used.
I went true to size . Haven’t received them yet . Fingers crossed they fit
How did they fit after 8 months?
Shoe of the year
that's weird that you didn't get another pair of laces -- we got a 2nd pair with these. maybe they updated it after your video lol
I just bought a pair (gray) and they came with an extra pair of gray laces.
What is the color way on the back shelf!
It’s a given fact that most Americans wear shoes that are too small for them. I’ve never once complained about a shoe that was slightly larger than my “true size.” I measure a 10.5, which is what most (but not all) of my dress shoes are. In running shoes I typically always go at least a full size larger, sometimes half a size. The 990v6’s I got in size 11 2E. I agree they are a bit long, but we are talking about 1/8 of an inch between the 10.5 and the 11. My advice is to always go with the larger size if your fall in between sizes. I enjoyed your video bro!
Ive been waiting for two years for a black pair of 990s
What is going on with Color BLACK?
Anybody have a clue?
990 is mostly popular in the dmv,bmore,Philly
Disappointed about the price increase but then again the 990v5 is the longest set of shoes I’ve ever owned and have hundreds of miles on them.
They got 3-4 miles a day minimum (often 10+) for 4 years. I went through a few insoles but the shoes are solid. Physically they still are they just squeak now and that’s where I draw the line.
I was on the fence when I saw early images. This is one of the rare times when the actual shoe is better than early images.
I’ll wait for more colors
I'm picking up a pair.. I have under Armour hovr infinite and the don't breathe
CHAMPS carries them in-store as well as V5.
