New Balance 992 "Grey" Review (Video 88)
Do not go up a half size up like it’s says on ASICS website they fit very big
Love the review bro, u gonna cop any of the general releases coming up?
The black and silver GR pair looks good, but I reckon I will hold off until something I really like comes out.
I regret tossing my Kayano 20 away when the heel bent. As a flat feet girly, most comfortable shoes i've ever worn feet! I should've attempted to fix them😢.
I'm sure they will release more colours so hopefully they release a similar colourway for you to cop!
I love it.. very underrated
thanks for your review! i'm struggling with sizing, it amazes me that you went a full size up. Could you please give me references of what sizes do you use on other models like Asics, New Balance and other brands? thanks again!
to this day my favorite shoe for winter in colorado, i have 10 different colorways, my favorite is the lunar new year (insanse shoe check it out) I will wear it on my wedding or funeral day or some shit idk
It's too bad I've just discovered the existence of this collab because I"d like to have a pair now, I guess I will have to browse the eBay listings to hopefully get them. The classic moc toe look combined with the ripple outsoles is a winner. Thanks for this video.
fn3-s anthracite was slept on pretty hard imo, mainly since it was a women's release. would agree tho most colors outside of the ub1-s piedmont and this ub10 have been at best ok to terrible.
I just checked them out - quality colour! That actually reminded me about the HN2-S Protoblast in the chocolate brown colourway (someone out there must know what all these letters mean LOL)
Great review. Personally I prefer the kayano 20 to the 14. I find them sleeker
🔥🔥🔥
I was on the fence about these Chemist Creation 855s before seeing this video. Thank for the in-depth review. Every one slept on these and they're missing out~
Glad you enjoyed the review! I just checked Chemist Creation's website and it seems like they have restocked and included some more sizes.
Does it fit snug even sizing up? I’m a 10.5 in NB, Adidas, and Salomons. Like you said though they only have 10 or 11 available. Afraid of the 11’s feeling like boats because I’m genuine 10.5 US, and 11’s usually run big for me.
I would say they fit well at a half size up. In your case, I'm almost sure the size 11 would be a better choice. At the end of the day, a slightly bigger shoe can be fixed with thicker socks but with a tighter shoe, there's not much you can do.
I wonder how long that bounce stay over time before it gets hard
so I've followed the Wave Prophecy since it came out. Since ~2012 I've had two pairs of Wave Prophecy 2, a pair of Wave Prophecy 5, and a Wave Prophecy 7. I've used the Wave Prophecy 7 nearly every day since 2019 -- they have remained bouncy for the last five years. I'm looking for my next Wave Prophecy now! I just hope they keep making new models of this lol
That's good to hear that they can withstand constant wear for 5 years!
@@themaru-chanchannel9188 🤣🫠😅 so actually slight update. one week ago, the sole finally fell out of one of the shoes 😅 RIP Wave Prophecy 7 2019-2024 I got my Wave Prophecy 13s this weekend though and I am back to loving my new pair!
Love the color blocking of the shoes! I hope cop one soon here in the Phils.
If only they could bring the price point down a little bit...
According to Asics, it does feature FlyteFoam.
Yeah, on other iterations of the Gel-Kyrios, they have the FlyteFoam branding on the shoe so probably just removed the branding on this iteration for a cleaner look.
I like this shoes, but in high. Adidas released them more times. I have a black & white and this knicks colourway from a different time. Not exactly the same, but both are very cool looking. I use orange shoelace to this and adidas blue to the black
The high tops definitely have a more authentic old school vibe to them! Orange laces would be an interesting switch up.
Qui siamo a livelli altissimi,retro Adidas top,modello e colore che andranno a ruba.
I ordered 36 because I’m normally 36 and theyre too small
6:49 damn they say it's always good to have enough space, so i dont evem know if i should get these
If your foot is slightly wide, I would probably pass since they are very narrow and unforgiving.
Midnight Navy
I'm a 10.5 us in the newbalance 2002r and a 10 in all the adidas Boost sneakers. What size would you suggest?
so you are a UK 9.5?
Sorry for the late reply. I'm a US9.5 in most of my sneakers. I go up to a US10 in shoes like the Asics Gel-Kinsei, Saucony Shadow 5000 and Nike Zoom Fly SP. For this I went with a US10.5. In your case, I would recommend either a US10.5 or US11. Hope this helps!
After watching 7-8 of your videos this afternoon, appreciate the depth of knowledge you’ve got on shoe CMF details, and knowledge recall of shoes from the last 10 (now ~15) years. Production values are solid, honest without pomp, and smart snark - sort of like @jerryrigseverything. Your channel deserves wider exposure. (except for that baroque couch in newer vids, less homebrew than the un-ironed sheet backdrop, but clashes with your in-vid clothing & shoe genres) A pretty reasonable % of the specific shoes you’ve reviewed over the last 5 years are ones I’m interested in. In a couple of your vids you mention (what sounds like) a priority for comfort, and this resonates; legit cushioning + smooth internal material feel are musts for me. I haven’t picked up any of the Nike Sacais or MMWs yet, have been deciding which to buy to wear vs which to buy to put in the new shoe room. Your “best of 2020” statement for the grey-white MMW 4s: are those still solid? I was about to buy Road Warriors next, and honestly they look more pure and less likely to have bubbling, chipping etc than the MMW 4 CMF, but your statement “these are the best” gives me pause. I had at least a couple interesting running shoes in the 80s and 90s, and made some artsy proto women’s heels shoes during college, and interviewed at Nike (Beaverton) in early 2000s for a PM role (after moving back to the US from working at Audi HQ in Germany). Fast forward, I went strictly into “splurge only on experiences” for myself for 12-13 years and bought only pedestrian sneaks and boots, then helped friends with their shoe + app startup 7 years ago and got re-acquainted with shoe mfg tech. Only started to get caught up for real on fashion & art since the end of 2022. Have been buying some Hermes shoes etc to get qualified for bags (check), and Balenciaga sneaks (really like the fabric sock 3XLs, Speed 2s are too stiff in the sole), and 2-4 pairs per month of Adidas, Nike, and a tiny number of lux brand shoes. Investment-wise these are all terrible awful choices vs art or Hermes bags, buuuuut can buy a lot of interesting shoes for a fraction of one piece of appreciating art, or one Kelly at retail - and wearing comfy avant-garde shoes no one else has (or has the balls to wear and degrade beyond any resale value) is fun. Most of my first 30 Adidas purchases in the last 18 months have been Boosts Ultraboosts from 2015+ and the few unique 4Ds, and nearly all of the Nikes have been Alphafly and similar runners. Zero Jordans, was never my thing, and 1 pair only of AF1s or SBs - have become too accustomed to soles with a great spring rate. Long comment, wrap with a question: what list of comfy stylish and unique sneaks would you suggest, right now, for a total of <US$3k?
Woah, thanks for the comprehensive comment! To go back to the MMW 4s, I haven't worn them for a while since they aren't exactly an everyday shoe, but they are still holding up pretty well and honestly, I'm still a super fan of the design. Seems like comfort and midsole technology is quite important for you so I'll mentions a couple of shoes that have surprised me in the midsole comfort department (spoiler, they are both Asics): Asics Gel-Quantum 360 VIII - Compared to the last 3-4 versions of the Gel-Quantum 360, the version 8 has a completely overhauled design and the foam they are using now (FF Blast Eco) is proper soft! A bit chunkier that previous iterations but they are lighter, softer and more comfortable than ever. Asics Gel-Quantum Zientzia - So this shoe has the midsole that was first featured on the Gel-Quantum Levitrack (I have a review of that shoe if you want to check it out) but the short of it is that the heel is the first ever "pure gel" cushion setup. Well worth a try!
do you still wear them ?😅
Sold them LOL
Wtf is your numbering
Fake or replica?
How about a third option - authentic.
This colourway reminds me of New Balance
Very much similar to a New Balance 550!

Are Mizuno’s in general considered super trainers?
By today's standards, I'm not sure if these would actually be good for running.
what’s the difference with wave prophecy beta 2 ?
It seems like the Wave Prophecy Beta 2 has the updated wave midsole that was introduced when the Wave Prophecy X was released.
never had the original 360s back in the day but i did have the red grey vapermax 360 witch had the 360 upper and the vapermax midsole. hope the 360 retro soon
Yeah would love to see a retro. Full disclosure, my left shoe's air bubble burst (not surprising given the age) but they are still somewhat wearable.
Loved it great job! I have the Wave Prophecy LS Nagai Sportstyle Sneaker love them!! Also have the GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC they are both my favorite shapes. Many colors in both. Always stick with the same styles just different colors both around $250-260 USD. Would love to see you compare these 2 styles!!!!!!!!
Just looked up the Nagai pair. Funky colours! I've actually being eyeing out the Gel-Quantum Kinetic since it uses the same sole unit from the Kiko Gel-Quantum Levitrack (I reviewed that on my channel if you want to watch that) but might hold out for the rumored upcoming Kiko Gel-Quantum Zientzia.

Hey there I am a US 9 for Nike dunks. I’m really stuck inbetween buying 42/43. At the moment . Could you advise me which should I get?haha

What type of outfit do you suggest for these ?
where me buy this ?
Been after these for years, managed to find a worn once pair in my size for retail 2 hours after someone posted em 🙏🏽
Hey bro u got these and interested selling I’m Australian
I still have these and haven't worn them except for the review. Reach out to me via my social links in the description (Instagram preferred) if you are interested in buying!
hows the shoes after 2 years?
I will say the tightness on the top of my toe is no longer there these days. As for how much wear, I've probably only worn these for a collective 2 months or so but they are still holding up very well. The suede at the back though is quite dirty since light-coloured suede is just a dirt magnet.
This is a grail of mine in either color. I wear a US 10 and was really hoping you held on to yours so I could ask to buy them off you lol. I’m probably just gonna settle for a gel kinsei OG in huddle yellow.
The Levitrack was definitely an interesting shoe! But the Kinsei is also a really nice retro runner.
Got these brand new in my room fire pair
Definitely a stand out colourway!
Bought recently a pair from Sizeer. Compared to Adidas Forum, for example, they're much stiffer. They also lack height in the toe box. And you somehow get the feeling they want to slip out of your heel, if you don't lace them tight, because the sole is stiff and they have a low profile at their back side.
Having worn both, I agree with this. Very stiff and shallow in the toe box and pretty bad heal slippage. But because of that, I have really put my shoes through a lot and they are still holding up pretty well. I just looked up Sizeer, are they a big retailer in Europe?
@@themaru-chanchannel9188 Sizeer is very present in malls, they seem to have more than 200 stores in Europe. Plus you can order online. In Buzau (Romania), were I live, there is a Sizeer store in Shopping City mall. It's good to hear that Rivalry are holding up well. It happens I wear them right now. I must give up using low socks with them, there is that strange sensation they will slip out of my heels. What's interesting is that after maybe 15-20 mins, they don't slip out anymore. Anyway, I will wear higher socks with them.

The original version in 1985. Was the “Ewing” model. As being the signature shoe for Patrick Ewing. Now the retro replace Ewing by adidas. Patrick Ewing end his relation with adidas some decades ago. He launched his “Ewing” own branded. So adidas do not want to mention Ewing in his rivalry
Interesting history, thanks for the info!

I highly regret letting these go...
Looks actually nice when you wear it.
Figured the rainbow jeans would be a good fit for this shoe.
