New Balance is killing it! Models,Materials,Colorway’s, Comfort,Quality is just top notch! And they easier to get then those hyped nike’s..was able to cop 4 hyped pairs in two months for retail. New Balance is the only brand from which the Gr’s are just as good if not better then the collabs!
Been rocking the same pair of 990v5s for the last couple years, and they're my favorite shoes ever. Super comfortable to wear all day, and versatile enough to wear for pretty much any activity or occasion.
I have worn various New balance models over the years my only regret is not spending more and getting the best the 990/993 sneakers. Prior to the past few years I did not have foot or orthopedic issues so I could get by with cheaper models. At age 72 its time to enjoy life and have totally comfortable footwear.
I just went to a New Balance store yesterday to try their shoes for the first time. I needed new shoes since my feet grow really fast. I’m 11 years old and I wear a size 10 U.S. mens
I just got my new 990 v3 at NEW balance Flatiron made in USA 🇺🇸, much cheaper than in Europe 187 dollars vs 240 euros….it’s my third 990 after v5 and v4 and must admit that the v3 is going to be my favorite 🤩
Amazing videos. I'm trying to get as educated as I can on New Balance and this helps alot. My first pair is the ALD 991 that recently released. I noticed you left the 991 off the list, any reason why? There are so many models to choose from and so much to learn.
He probably left it out as he thinks it is only out in UK and Europe since it is made in UK (as he mentioned) but he probably doesn't know you can get them online.
I’m starting to turn into a new balance head. The older I get, it’s more about comfort and simplicity. Great video but those 9060’s are pretty nice as well.
whats about the 847 are they a good shoe. im a big man 300lbs+ i was told the 847 is one of the best for big men is this true or are the ones you named better ?
Great video. Always love when regular shoes appear in your channel. In my personal experience, I thought the 550s would be uncomfortable due to the shape, weight, and rigidity of the sole. I was wrong. Seriously, I feel the only CASUAL shoe that is more comfortable in this list is the 990v5. Try the 550s you will never regret it.
Got my first pair a few years ago (574 made in UK) and liked them a lot. Last year I grabbed the 990v5 and that for me was a game changer and I’ve loved NB ever since, the 990s are my beaters. Then I got 550s which look great, the leather is fantastic and they were surprisingly more comfortable than I expected. Today I ordered the New Balance 2002r goreTex that recently released, can’t wait to get them in hand. They will be my winter weather shoes!
I run all my 990s into the ground, funny cuz they’re $200, I keep my 2002r super clean and I got the black olive 725s I really want the 2002rlb they look so good
@@chocolatewheelchair I don’t think that, I actually think they last a long time, I meant that I don’t really wear my 2002 just everywhere because I wanna keep ‘em clean. My 990s I’ll wear everywhere rain sleet snow
Only started wearing NB in the last year...always wore DC Etnies etc etc....getting a bit old for skate shoes I tried on a pair of NB and OMG!!!! now own 5 Pairs and loving them!
the NB 327 is used by a lot of people in health care. At the old hospital i used to work at you’d see them everywhere. They’re simple yet comfortable as well as being very affordable. It’s an excellent shoe if you’re constantly moving around
NGL. I’m a nurse and rock the Casablanca 327s when I’m not working on the floor and just in the office. If I’m on the floor, I rock the FIGS x New Balance 327s.
I started to like New Balance 2 years ago. Bought a pair of 327 initially and now I have bought more than 20 pairs. Gave away some that I don’t think I will wear again. I can’t stop buying as now that I’m older, I’m not so enthusiastic about designer sneakers. Besides, a pair of $700-$1000 designer sneakers, I can buy a few 327,xc-72, 550. Best of all I need not walk around carefully especially around an active toddler. My son and I can wear the same models too. Love the price and quality of NB.
Thoughts on the 530s? Haven't really found much recommendation regarding the pair online. There's also little to no videos about them made by mens fashion ytbers/sneakerheads. Not sure wether to to get them or 327s instead
I know your a major New Balance fan my bro, really appreciate your top 10 video on all the silhouettes. Never had a pair of New Balance until this year, the brand has been growing on since 2020, recently purchased my 1st New Balance x Salehe Bembury 574 Yurt (forest) really like the sneaker, it a different take on the 574 with so much detail for your money. Overall the design department are doing a great job at New Balance, new silhouettes releasing and a different take on the OG silhouettes have moved sneakerheads in the UK from Nike to New Balance. New Balance is giving the retailer an alternative to the mainstream and this benefits everyone and the sneaker culture. 👊🏻❤💎
Got the hyper blue/pink cw! I think they were the "OG" / PROMO colors. I remember hunting for that cw in japan lol ended up being my first and only goat purchase under retail
I live near the Lawrence,Massachusets NB factory I used to get 993's at the factory store for $99 and sometimes they were buy 1 get 1 50% off. I should have bought more of them
If it wasn’t for seth I probably wouldn’t have thought about adding nb to my collection and finding out comfortable they could be. If i ever have moments when I don’t know which shoe to wear i always go with one of my NBs
I've been a fan of NB for a while but I'm really only feeling two shoes on this list, 327 and 1080 which I own both. I guess my taste in shoes are just different. My daily rotation includes Fresh Foam Cruz V1, several 515's, 501's and 412 as my work shoe. I don't see myself rocking any of those others on this list.
New Balance has been my go to shoe for 20 years for me. I'm shocked so many people are just getting into them. Also, since then they have gone up on their shoes. I bought my first pair 2002R for 280 and I've never bought a pair at that price, it's always been less than 100.
I just copped a pair of 996’s when I went in looking for a 574… I love them soooo much man. Probably my favourite sneaker in my rotation right now! NB definitely making some amaaazing sneakers 👌👌👌
Grew up seeing new balances everywhere/on everyone. Silver spring, MD DMV area…We wore them shits to gym class. Didn’t think the hype on NBs would last this long. Didn’t think Cali heads or NY heads would start rocking them. They used to clown us back then. Lmao.
Bro, u r missing the New Balance 1600. I know they're not popular here in the States but trust me, you'll fall in love with them. Will be a perfect addition to your New Balance collection. Get a pair of Japan Limited Edition and thank me later.
It's cool that a brand that isn't Nike or ADIDAS is getting super hype right now, but with full honesty, nobody can ever convince me that these dad shoes are actually nice looking, just not my type.
New balance offers the besr & most confortable non medical shoe/sneaker I am a 990 v4 owner and love them and just bought the 993 since they are almost the same but a couple oz more. I tried gravity defyer and returned them. I found them uncomfortable when first wearing them and felt better in a couple days but my new balance never caused me discomfort from day one. I also own 1260 recently discontinued but very good but the 990/993 are the best for men with big wide feet.
The 992 silhouette has been shelved again after 2 years of being in the spotlight in favor of spotlighting other silhouettes like the 2002r and various 990 versions.
I have been waiting one, & a half years for 990 V!! Told I am getting for my B DAY since nerve Dr., Orthopedic Dr., & Orthopedic Surgeon recommend New Balance shoe!! I see people with 900V blue, & New Balance headquarters customer service doesn't know what I am talking about!! Me ? !! I called New Balance Pasadena California young gal telling me I don't know. Me ? !! So no New Balance employees know when blue 990 V6 is out yet people have the shoe posting online!! ? I need the shoe for support since I was run over at work with driver leaving area hit, & run!!
Got the 990 V5. I’m not a sneaker guy but I wanted a comfy sneaker for the office and oh my sweet lord this shoes are heaven 😂 Their so well made, no odd stitching or sharp edges when you put them on. They remind me my skating shoes I wore when I was 13 but those looked ugly af. I used to look past NB because of the dad shoe stigma but now I looking forward for my next pair lol

New Balance is on another level when it comes to durability
The new balance 574 is made with better quality materials and craftsmanship than almost all nike/jordan shoes, I love NB.

@@wutchamacallit no one cares
What are the more comfortable shoe, 997h or 992 ?
The NB 530 Encap is my number 1. Its just beautiful and timeless
Remember when New Balance shoes sold at Payless for 20-40 bucks? Good times

I’m debating between the 2002R and the Fresh Foam X
1080v12 Permafrost as a everyday walking shoe.
If you’re heavy get 1080. If you’re light get 2002r. That’s what I think.
@@Artemis-v8iwhat do you mean? Like the 1080 is more bulky?
@@Embiid-xc2be yeah. It’s more cushioning than 2002r and it has fresh foam.
Personally I like the 57/40 model perfect for comfort and a great look come in great color ways as well
Joe Fresh Goods 9060 is the best shoe of the year imo. First new balance purchase and had to get both colors.

Just picked up the penny cookie pinks…love them. Thinking about grabbing the blues now
Same here (though I have only bought the baby shower blue). Really nice sneaker, and is my favorite of the year.
My sneaker of the year so far, hands down! Surprised Seth missed them.
Thoughts on the 530s? Haven't really found much recommendation regarding the pair online. There's also little to no videos about them made by mens fashion ytbers/sneakerheads. Not sure wether to to get them or 327s instead
Do the 574 fit true to size or should I go up half a size seeing a lot of people saying to go up.
How much,may I now the Price Pls.
How the heck do you not have the Kith Daytona 990v3 on here?? I just posted a review on em and they are the best NB of the year!
where is the 57/40? i think it looks arguably the best, besides the 574 classics
I have (and reviewed!) a pair of 990v6s and they're awesome!
I love nb but my main problem with them is that the 550s don’t come in a wide size for wide wide feet

What made you turn to New Balance, Brother?
overlooked: the 997! There have been some great brand exlusives, like j. crew's, the last few years. Usually sit for a little while, too.
