These were randomly $195 on GOAT for a size 9.5 and I bought them a few weeks ago. The next day they were back to selling for $250. Guess I got lucky lol
Def one of the best colors ever IMO. If it was a jjjjound it’d be even more popular than it already is. Sneaker of the year tho ? I dunno still so much more to come
7:31 Very good conclusion. I am no sneakerhead at all, and I did not like the colorway that much at first. However, as my Grey V5 are slowly dying, I copped those (without the "hype" factor influence) when they released, and they are great. I would add that switching the laces for black make them really aggressive compared to the default ones, which are nice as well.
Appreciate your honesty! I found the black midsole/outsole combo was a miss. Would’ve been better with white and a gum bottom with a white or cream ‘N’. The jjjjound 990v4 got these right already.
Macadamias were solid!!!! Love the two combination colors drops for spring / Summer. Prefer those two over the Purple and Cilantro color way that dropped recently.
Been waiting for you to get your hands on these! I was counting down the minutes for this release and was absolutely in love from the first ever sneak peak that I saw. Once I got them in hand they did not disappoint whatsoever. These are my favorite pair of sneakers that I own. Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥. Been wearing them in the spring and I think they look incredible. Definitely the NB of the year so far for me with the Interstellar 993 at #2
These sold out very quickly and I didn’t get a pair on release. However, on a recent business trip to South Africa I found a pair at the NB store there. 🤷🏻♂️
I don't understand people saying go down a size,go up a size, if your foot doesn't fit the shoe in your normal size then it's not for you, that might work for shoes with no arch support, but with a shoe like this it throw things off
I don't think they are season specific. I got the M990AI2, which came out in season 1 and they came in the blue box. But yes, teddy pairs get either the cream or blue box. I don't know how they decide which gets cream or which gets blue though.
Best GR in a very long time, if this was JJJJound people would be way more crazy about it sadly. I'm a sucker for V4's and these just deliver with the subtle hit of the silverish mesh with those two tones of blue on a black sole, it just works. Also like a grown version of the Gel Saga Mazarine Ronnie did way back which I used to have.
Speaking of boxes those Kith x New Balance 1906R “Black/Green” that just came out didn’t have a special box and I was wondering why lol I feel like it was a missed opportunity. I saw the upcoming Jack Harlow NBs will have a standard gray box and that is surprising to me. I too am curious about the logic behind the boxes lol
Speaking factz. It is all hyped up for no reason. I have them. I like them. But definitely would have been fine not getting them. The cream pair is slept on and might actually be a little nicer in hand. I bought both pairs.
I’m sorry but How is it for no reason? If a lot of people enjoy them then there is your reason lol. The reaction to these shoes from some people is so strange to me. Not saying you are doing this but some people are actually angry that its a popular release. I got accused of being a hypebeast for loving these and making a few posts about them when I liked them way before I knew it was going to be this popular.
@mjv40 because it's how I feel about it I guess. No offense. And I would never hate on your opinion. All love to each his own. But it's a gr. No big shit. And years later it's just another shoe. We all go crazy over hype. I say for no reason because really, is it that important to get a pair of sneakers.
@@estebengno but that’s my point. People liking it doesn’t have to mean “it’s all hyped up” just because you don’t feel the same. I didn’t take any offense at all I just don’t understand that sentiment.
@@mjv40 I never defined liking as all hyped up. But whatever. Understand what you want. I'm done with the back and forth. Enjoy your life. I don't know you or care what you think about my comments.
Sean not taking shots at you but if this came with a jfg or jjjound branding everyone would absolutely be going crazy for them and reselling for about 1k
I was this close (holding thumb and index fingers very close together) to purchasing these. However, I ultimately chose to purchase the 991v2 London Marathons. I did this because I did not love and only appreciated this colorway. Plus, I decided against these because I recently purchased the JFG Belly Outros (a terrific shoe). Thank you!
I do have a question...when you buy Chinese products in China, they are may be 1:3 as you have much less logistics cost involved vs 1:5 or 1:6 if the same products are sold in America. You have Customs, shipping, trucking, warehousing, more trucking cost so that's how it was justified. However, these made in USA model should have huge savings in logistics and brands should be able to give us better material for the same cost as imports? Granted they might not be able to do 1:3 like domestic Chinese companies but 1:4 or even 1:5, would be nice. Oh, I forgot brands marketing teams knows they can get more money playing on consumers sentiment for supporting their local manufacturing sectors...not knowing they are just stuffing more money into corporation pockets. Good old greed & capitalism.
FINALLY - was waiting on your take on these

GOAT had these under priced. Especially for the other color way Macadamias but they went up in price.
Was that after fees? Got these retail and they came out to ~226 (pricey as hell)
Love my pair. They’re a head turner.
Really like the honesty at the end. I think these are fire and I'm pretty salty for sleeping on the drop.
Def one of the best colors ever IMO. If it was a jjjjound it’d be even more popular than it already is. Sneaker of the year tho ? I dunno still so much more to come
They look better IMO with the black laces

Feel the same way. Something about the blacked out midsole/outsole just doesn't do it for me. Great review as always.
Exactly!
I agree, I love colors & need white or cream somewhere on it 👈🏾
Great shoe, great colorway. Definitely more of a winter look, but anyone who copped for retail got a good one.
Appreciate your honesty! I found the black midsole/outsole combo was a miss. Would’ve been better with white and a gum bottom with a white or cream ‘N’. The jjjjound 990v4 got these right already.
Color blocking and materials on these are great. My first v4. Right after getting these in, I went back for that macadamias!
Macadamias were solid!!!! Love the two combination colors drops for spring / Summer. Prefer those two over the Purple and Cilantro color way that dropped recently.
I liked them a lot. The round laces gave the v4s a very different feeling and the tones chosen made them look like a good collab

"Hey Jimmy what boxes we got left? Grey? Sure use those"
I ordered these today from Stockx and am anxiously awaiting their arrival.
Been waiting on this one
The shoe alone is by far one of the most comfortable shoes ever.
if the midsole is going to be the standard colourway, jt could be a potential contender to be the NB sneaks of the year
I don't understand people saying go down a size,go up a size, if your foot doesn't fit the shoe in your normal size then it's not for you, that might work for shoes with no arch support, but with a shoe like this it throw things off
Las logré adquirir en 195USD en Colombia! Y para mi es de los mejores NB de la TS Session.
Box color is Teddy Santis season(s) collection color, previous seasons were that cream color. Normal core made in USA get the grey box.
I don't think they are season specific. I got the M990AI2, which came out in season 1 and they came in the blue box. But yes, teddy pairs get either the cream or blue box. I don't know how they decide which gets cream or which gets blue though.
@@jonathanlyons6436 yea these are part of season 5 . I think the blue box started season 4.
@@jonathanlyons6436 fairly sure all the Blue boxes were QS - at least in S1 that's how they did it
@@zacharymutter8432what is QS?
Sean, that shirt is fire. Great review as always btw. Got this pair on release day and I love them, put the black laces too
I’m with you Sean. Definitely not a fan of blacked out midsoles. These would’ve looked cleaner with a gray midsole imo.
🤝🤝🤝🤝
Got them . Love them. Only problem is that these shoes are coloring blue my white socks … color bleeding in the inside is a new things for me :(

These are super cool on display, the blue is so unique and refreshing, but the color combo is alright and overall meh on foot imo.

Sean, thank you for everything you do! Should I cop these or the Santis Olives? Be well
Olive for sure
@@SeanGo are 993’s more comfortable?
Almost the same thoughts as you - they are nice, but not really a Spring/Summer shoe. Cool colorway, but a bit too dark for me
Got 'em 🔥
I like the sneaker model. If this model isnt, Grey, nayy, tan, or olive... NB can (yall can have em) i dont want em.
Can't decide between these and the JFG Intro🤣
intro for me, i like the tones better
Dooe shirt snd dope review
🫡🫡
They are dope
I appreciate it, but don’t love them as much as the green or purple 993s this season
I’ve thought about. I’m a huge fan!
Thought about it
Finally someone who knows this is just typical. It’s decent but it’s not that great.
😆 🤷🏻♂️
Completely subjective so you can’t “know” a thing like that
Not a fan of the black midsole and I dont find the v4's that plush, I definitely prefer the midsole of the v6's. But I like the color of the upper.
Love 🔥
I accidentally ordered 8.5 when I usually wear 9. You think I can squeeze into it? They sold out so I can exchange.
Just finished the vid about going half size down, you’ve given me hope. Now they have to get here.
@@fredyrosales295 did it fit you?

@@estebeng I really wasn’t trying to be argumentative. My bad if it came off different. Just thought it was an interesting conversation.
For your opinion is v4 better than the v3?
fits my foot better but v3 design looks better imo
ID on the pants?
Sean not taking shots at you but if this came with a jfg or jjjound branding everyone would absolutely be going crazy for them and reselling for about 1k
that’s true
These are sitting in my size in the U.S. for retail
Debating if I should cop 👮
May I ask where?

Further, I notice that the London marathons are already just about sold out. I might try to flip them and then go on a shoe strava-Ganza! 👞 👟 👟 🎊 🎉 🙌

Reminds me of the jjjound collab a bit
It’s sitting all over Asia - lol
as it should
Luv me some NB but these aint it
Wish this shoe wasn't limited
Fire shoe! New Balance makes Nike look like cheap garbage.
Kinda feel like a jjjjound release
No. These are ugly.
😅
Let me guess, you are a Jordan or Nike fan lol XD XD
@@javierlandaverde4108 No, not at all. 80% of my collection consist of NB. Actually the 990v4 is my favourite silhouette.
Grandpa color combination.
L
Just like Jordans and AF1 and Dunks are trending now as Grandpa shoes.
Age is just a number. Lol. Some grandpa's are way more fly then their grandkids. They have wauly more money typically. Lol
Nah, I'll stay with my 9060s
I went for the macadamia Nut colorway instead and it was the better choice 😮💨🧼
