- South Korean streetwear label, thisisneverthat, recently dropped their latest collaboration with New Balance named "The 2022 Downtown Run". Part of this collection consisted of the 1906R, a reworked take on the 2009 running shoe. Is New Balance striking gold again just like they did with the 2002R a few years back? Check out my video to find out!

I love the 1906r! New Balance did an awesome 👏 job. I love the mesh upper & I love the aging they did on them. I missed out on release so I’m paying resell for without a doubt. Awesome 👏 video Sean!
do you stay true to size? I'm a wide footer and been hearing some say go .5 up from tts but that seems overkill.
Cool that this model is being pushed as an alternative to the 2002r. I'm interested in the protection pack coming later on!
This is great lol I saw this NB collab and was looking to see if you did a review yesterday and didn't see one. And now here we are. 😂😂
I really dig the 'old school' tech vibe this gives off. Not a fan of the staining. Not sure if they were trying to go for "rust" like an aged metal, but it would be WAY cleaner without. Regardless, it's a great entry for the 1906R model and I love that even the N logo has a purpose. You don't see that at all, so it's pretty refreshing. I don't like the price tag for something that is nearly all mesh and synthetic materials. They need to work on either making it more premium or bring down the price to compete w/ the 2002r
I like these but I’m awaiting the new color way I just saw a sail color-way I’m interested in copping once it’s released.
I bought the 2002r based on the materials but I like the aged look on these a lot.
Yessss was waiting for this review. I love these but struck out for retail. So imma just pick up the GR colorway of the 1906’s. The colorway imma pick up actually reminds me of the JJJJound Asics. But aye I’ll take it
I grabbed the 2002r collab. I'm not sold on the 1906R because of the all mesh base, but maybe in future i'll pick up a pair to give it a go
Couldn't wait for you to do the review on these 🔥🔥🔥we the review on the jjjjound asics kayano 14 Sean💪
I'm usually always same size as you SG, but these have to say upsize 1/2 size for me. I've got the OG colourway in the white gold and black
So do they run half a size smaller than normal 2002rs?
@@ucthinhbui4828 it's the case for me.
Hey Sean! Did you get the thisisneverthat 2002r in this pack or did you pass? Wondering if you're gonna do a review on that one too.
Waiting for the 2002r review also.
I passed on them, kinda felt underwhelmed lol
@@SeanGo Yeah I know what you mean lol. It is pretty underwhelming for a collab and looks like a grey new balance GR but that also makes it much more wearable since it's so plain lol.
Another great review Sean!👊 struggling to understand why I like these so much despite being way out of my comfort zone😂
🤣🤣🤣💪
I found the 2002r from this collab fell short. I still believe they're sitting at my local livestock. I took an L when new balance Canada released these.... Been waiting for livestock but apparently there's a delay.
I see what you mean with Asics running shoes. They really give off a retro Kayano or Nimbus vibe.
To me, these remind me a lot of the Nike Spiridon Cage 2 (retro runner, metallic accents and the mesh). Most people only cared about that shoe for the Stussy collab and they ended up discontinued rather quickly.
No wonder, the spiridon cage 2 is imo one of the least comfortable and worst fitting shoes of all time.
For once, I had to go up a half size for this model. The toe area definitely felt narrow compared to the 2002r
How does it fit? I ordered mine 0.5 up not sure if it will be big for me, how is it for u?
@@brandonlow5801 I’m a true size 8 usually in 2002r, so I first bought an 8 thinking it’s a similar fit. But it was way too tight around my forefoot. 1/2 size up was slightly roomier and comfortable.
@@cspek great, guess 0.5 should be good for me too
Cant wait for mine to arrive! Suddenly this year all my collection turns to NB 😂 wdyt of 90/60?
Saucony Grid Webs and Grid Azuras have a similar sort of look to these. ASICS is definitely the closest though. The non-collab versions of 1906R aren’t too terribly more expensive than those other brands though. I think they’re pretty interesting looking if certainly a product of their original time period.
Really happy with my pair, comfortable right away and they fit like my 99Xs
Another great vid Sean! I loved these shoes but I passed
Wide footers go half size up in these and kayano 14s
Been on the fence about these bc of the discolored mesh but I think I’m gonna pull the trigger. These look awesome.
Wore them last week and trust me they look so amazing in person, pictures don’t really do them justice and they’re so comfortable as well!
I love theses but cannot get them in my size anywhere over £150 😢please if anyone can help me
I doubt they'll pull it off. These kinds of uppers puts them closer to Asics, who make shoes just as good at New Balance, but don't have the same mount of hype behind them.
The underdog always win doe
can't wait for the GRs
How does this stands against the 1906 atmos' collaboration?
I passed on those :/
How does this stands againts 1906 invincible n Hollywood?
I prefer these lol
Love you bro. You are best sneaker blogger.
thanks for liking my comments
Do you wear all your sneakers or do you have specific rotations?
If I don’t sell them after I review them then yes all my shoes are worn
Hey man i was checking your review and for sizing do you think this fit like the NB2002R ? I asking this because some other pp says this model fits smaller, normally i wear size 12 on this 2002r so do you think should i go for the same size on this? Thanks man!
Maybe it fits slightly more snug than 2002r but I like how both models fit me at tts
Love the idea behind this model, but could drive me crazy to clean these holes.
Dont worry sean there are many more premium suede and leather versions of this shoe coming out that include all over suede/higher learning pack and also a refined future/protection pack design. I've seen leaks hehe from people I know
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
How get them
These are different but clean
Didn't expect this review 🔥
🤣 a bit late
Great vid
New camera and lens?
Yeah for a while now lol
I knew it! Storage!
Wow
That’s a lot of sneakers
300 plus I bet.
I had to give some of mine away. Was running out of space and spouse is getting really mad about it. LOL.
🤣🤣🤣
The spouse is a bigger problem than the lack of space 🤣 'another pair!!'
Actually like these alot
Sean you should add some clothing to your shoe reviews. Shoe is fiiire though.
Very dope shoe
I want to like these…with the 2002r I think that model is the perfect balance of “dad shoe” while also having a modern look. These are just some straight grass cutters 😫
Lmaooooooo
asics gel kayano 14 jjjjound is next
if this shoe doesn't give you 90s vibe, I don't know what is.
😍😎
Kinda looks like the jjjound ASICS
The next wave is going to be tech runners.
Yessir
Nylon & synthetic leather does not justify the price. Ok! Ty
Dam I wish I knew u were buyin these lol
Cuz I just bought an pair on stock x.
& I know ur Goin to end up sellin these -_-
Dislike the worn look, completely. Not overly keen on this silhouette. 2002R is much nicer.
