Love these and compared to v5 i thought i would just wear these occasionally but man these feels so good. I have to pick up the grey's because i am still shocked how they feel.
Got the black and swapped the grey laces for white ones. I actually wanted black V5s because I love the grey so much, but I don't like the colourway of the sole. Really happy with the V6s
I had the grey for a year and a half now. It’s nice and I enjoyed wearing them last summer but have mostly gone back to my favorite (990v4). Recently picked up the black V6 and it has really started to sell me on the 990v6. This silhouette just looks awesome with the black white and grey on it, and I’m not even usually a huge fan of black sneakers. They look awesome on feet. I’m going back for the triple black v6 soon for my next pickup because of how good the normal black one is.
after three months of wear daily at my job, the 990v6 are perfect. very cushiony and lightweight compared to my 993s i used to daily. no issues other than the longevity, i feel like they get dirty and creases on white midsole way faster than my 993s
These are indeed some comfortable pair of sneakers. What I’m not understanding though, is why reviews don’t mention the pressure point under the tongue area - more precisely where the tongue is stitched to the front part of the shoe. (Not sure about the technical jargon, apologies) If you reach into the shoe, you can feel there is a huge clump of textile right above your feet, kind of like a knot. I have experimented with 3 different sizes (one way above my usual size) and they all have the same problem. So does the 990v2. Surprisingly, I have only found one review so far which mentions this shortcoming, plus a few reddit posts. This pretty much makes the shoes unwearable for me. What about you guys?
Thanks for the video, how's the comfort compared with the V4, V5 are they more squeezy since I don't like overly soft soles, struggling with plantar fasciitis so arch support and the right amount of softness is really important, thx
from the early leaks i said these were gassss! I agree that the dramatic change in silhouette made the model quite polarising, but think about the dramatic changes from the v1, v2, & v3? After the shoe was leaked there had been some subtle changes, which i think were for the better. Early samples had the shoe looking somewhat bloated (reminiscent of a yeezy wave runner), and the final product is sleek and clean. Doesn't have that 'classic' running shoe look like previous models, but it's a welcomed change in my books.
Love my v6's after a couple wears. They're wayyy different than my v4's though. You definitely want the right size in them, the fit on the top of foot with the tongue is much different because the heel feels more elevated or raised up. Very glad I didn't size down. Also they're more narrow from heel to toe. They don't actually fit longer to me though, just more narrow. Definitely more sporty shoe.
Thanks for your review. How does the shoe fit ? true to size? I normally wear a 13 but I’m thinking about getting a 14 for proper room in the toe box. Thanks
I still love my V5, they fit my foot just right specially on the toes. Enough support even when I’m standing the whole day. But definitely not something I would wear jogging on the treadmill, that’s something I think the v6 might be better at in terms of cushioning.
Weird you say they’re TTS because I went to try on my normal size 9.5 and they were crazy tight width and length so I had to go with a 10. Wonder if I’m the only one lol
Are the outsole heels still fairly firm on the v6? I noticed the heels mashed some when you pushed down on them. More than previous versions? One of the things I loved about the 990s were the fact they had a firmer heel strike and more durable bottom soles, than say mushy or squishy running shoes. I hate mushy heels on some running sneakers. Thanks.
@@JoshDominic So they aren't somewhat firm, like say 990v4's? I still have a pair of those. The foot beds can be cushioned inside, but the previous versions have pretty firm outsole heels (under the encap) as I recall. The current 880v13 and v14 have freshfoam, but the heels have a lot if squish like hokas. Ever tried those? One would think the new 990v6 would be firmer than that? Just curious.
I tried them on in store. I wear size 11. These fit true to size, but I did have to go with the wide version because the regular version runs a bit narrow at the toe box area.
I agree. I wear a 10.5 comfortably in the v3’s but tried on a 10.5 in the v6, just too big. The 10 fit better length wise but I had the get the wide version because the model is just more narrow than the other 990’s.
theres a wide version? there are 2 version of these? i personally like new balance because its hella wide, u telling me theres a wide version eventho new balance 990 line already wide?
I just got my 990 v6 last week direct from New Balance online. (White….11 4E) I absolutely love this pair overall. I could wear these everyday. BUT………this pair is like champagne to me. AND……Made in the USA! (Which is a rarity these days.) Definitely collector’s item material like Jordans.
Not sure about V6s. When I wear them, it feels very running shoes on feet (too light, too soft), not lifestyle shoes like my V5s. Also, the chunky 3M pieces on both sides visually compete with the N and it bugs me.
Go down a half size on the 990 V6 in the US. I wore a 9 wide in the V5 and 8-1/2 was spot on on my new V6's. It even says it on the New Balance website in the US. I agree with all Josh said about the V6. They are well worth the $199 we pay in the USA. I went with the gray and may also buy the black.
hey buddy! i wear 7.5 in 990v3 joe fresh goods and they fit me very comfortable with roomy fit. Planning to buy lapiz lazuli 990v6. should i stick to same size or half size down ?
I wonder how you are feeling now after a few months? I have found the internal mesh lining to be a real step down in quality for NB. I will be switching brands.
Bruv I must apologise, initially when I saw it on the South African website it didn't say it was made out of Pigskin and then recently I looked at the Singapore and US sight and saw it was pigskin and the South African new balance site has updated it and it is. Keep the vids coming and making us smile 🎉
👍Great no-nonsense review + thoughts. 990v1, the OGs, are the first and the best. I have the v5's in grey & navy & they're great everyday-wears. Eventually I'll get some v6's (of course) but I do think they look... IDK, like to me Air Max 90s are to 999v1s and Air Max 97s are to these 990v6s. (Edit: 998s are my fave after the 990v1, and 996s are close 3rd, but for sheer comfort the v5 is hard to beat; these v6s look great for casual/weekending, like a softer v5) They do look more modern, less classic. And that's fine. Room for all of them on my racks. 🤷🏼
I got the black 990 v6 but unlike every other New Balance shoe they were too narrow for me. If I cop again it would be the wide version but I waiting to see if those other 990 v6 colorways drop. Definitely want the Action Bronson Azuls
@@picanha694 well I have an extremely wide foot. Length wasn’t the issue with the 990v6 mainly width. I didn’t realize it ran more narrow than most New Balances. You can go for a size down wide but I definitely just needed the 12 in wide (which is my true to size)
Excuse me, but i have to ask this cause 990v6 is nowhere in my local stores and no chance to try it on , so I need to order it online . Is it true to size? or i need to go half a size down ? your feet length should be 30 cm (11.8" ) according to NB size chart list, is it ?
I have Both Pair as Well . I Love Em Both & Rotate Wearing Them Both Like Every other Day 🤣🤣 Their That Comfortable & Fly . They Look Better Than The Christian Dior sneakers To Me . Especially The Black Ones 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are downright gorgeous and I'm so glad they're still sleepers. Just copped the grey day pair, cant wait to get them in
Rocking the greys on regular basis. can't wait for the navys to come out.
Got the black 990v6 in wide with more comfortable compared to the regular size fitted way more comfortable and relaxing the first day I bought them

Don't forget that with all that they are still supportive for all day standing without making your feet ache from fatigue.
Evry body say 990v6 is too long what do you thig can you compare size. 990v3. 990v6 is it big than v3
@@davitisay8817 get same size as 990v3

Yea that one fire
Is that the Teddy version?

Just copped the black/grey. Going to switch between these and the 993 during the week.

I’ve returned two pairs due to this. Sized down at first then went with my normal size. Hoping the wide version works for me.

I heard they run big so I wear a 9 1/2 10 in Nike so I just went 9.5 I haven't tried on a pare new Balance in years? Hopefully I got the right size.
Im stuck between the 2 colors or a pair of grey 993s ......

The cushioning is firm enough for lifestyle I think
@@JoshDominic I'm on the heavier side. Too soft for me. I'm used to the V5s so I find the difference huge.
🔥🔥 review as always my guy!
Thanks Ryan

I wear the same size in both those shoes
@@JoshDominic thanks for reply and do they fit exactly same or you feel v6 is slightly bigger ?
agree. i been wearing my grey pair everyday since i copped them 2 weeks ago.
I’ve got a Grey 574 and Navy 990V5. What color would you recommend to me for the V6?
Hi guys, i have a pair of 997h size 8.5 US - 8 UK, dose it fit like the 990 V6 ?? Thanks 🙏
I wonder how you are feeling now after a few months? I have found the internal mesh lining to be a real step down in quality for NB. I will be switching brands.
Dope. Might order the black ones now. Where’d you get the hat from?
It was part of the Salehe bembury drop last year
Pretty sure the NB# Tiago 1010 also uses Fuel Cell cushioning. They’re so comfortable!
The photos leaked yesterday of the last Teddy is a must!
Thanks for your review
Got these for 293 CAD price was outrageous but i don't care i have the money and it feels like walking a cloud and i like the look
How do your like these V's the 993 Cores N Shoes
I hope that the v7 will again have the style of the versions of before (4 or 5) before with the comfort of the v6
That would be key
Nice collection. Looking amazing product..
I need the navy blue Bronson’s.
Oh me too
What about arch support?
Amazing designs 💕😍
do the soles have a good grip

@@27madnoor it varies person to person but personally I just needed true to size wide.
@@27madnoor I would NOT go down a size, I can say that confidently
The price in Europe is just too high. Waiting for a sub-200 pair.
does it have a wide version?
Here in Manila, the retail price is around $300 💸
That’s crazy
in indonesia its also 300 and they have no wide version so I have to get help from a cousin who are visiting the US soon.
in taiwan its also around ~USD300
Also can’t wait for those 990v6 action Bronson lapiz lazuli
I still like the V3 the best, followed by the V5
Same here, I love the V3 and V5’s the best.
Best colorway so far
This workout are amazing❤️💯
Thanks for your reviews ❤❤

I wish the midsoles were more comfortable…they feel bit too stiff for me for having fuel cell.
It’s more stiff than regular fuel cell because these are supposed to be lifestyle shoes not running shoes (which all other fuel cell shoes are )
Best one so far so comfy can feel the bounce
