Awehness always bringing the goodness. Thanks for another great vid, dig the top 20 such a pity not all dropped in Cape Town South Africa but seeing them still brings joy. Hope you and the fams has a lekker(good) festive ✨
Such a great list all the way. New balance had an incredible year. Sage JFG 993, Kith Daytona, and Salehe were some of my favorite pickups as well. So unique yet wearable and comfortable.
Not sure how I missed this video. It is a banger and I really enjoyed it. I enjoy all your videos to be honest. I’m waiting to the brick and wood video next !
Was looking forward to this video for a minute. Great video as always.
Love from India, where none of these released 😂
Great video, and a great year for NB! I've been shocked with how much I love the Salehes, throwing them on always feels like a no-brainer. Also surprised to see the 9060s so far down, easily the best new sneaker silhouette of 2022 imho.
Great list and great production, thanks for introducing some that I never knew of. Only thing you didn’t have that I like is the 2002r hiking pack in brown - so creative and stylish.
This is a great list Sean! Didn't even know pairs like that MJCxPB 991 or the Beams 990v5 even released. My top 5 is mostly v3s which I got for the first time this year and they are amazing. The comfort is truly something else and the understated or muted colorways from Jjjound, Kith and the Teddy line have a grown-up look to them but are still fire. For me its YCMC Nimbus Cloud v3, Jjjound Olive v3, TS Navy v3, Kith Steel Blue v3 and the ALD 991 Grey. I love that Jjjound Montreal CW too making me contemplate painting the midsole on my Jjjound Brown/Black pair from earlier this year lol.
A whole video of NBs🤤… that’s why u the goat!
Happy new year Sean, you're the best channel for sneaker reviews. I always enjoy your videos.
I appreciate that!
Good top. Thanks for all. Love you bro. You are the best sneaker blogger. Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays!
Amazing list. I would change the sequence, but that is amazing!
Great list, many pairs in my personal list as well. I had no idea that Paperboy 991 pair even existed, very cool. In my list I also had the UA&S 550s, BSMNT 2002R in white, the N. HOOLYWOOD 1906Rs, and the Teddy v3s in that white with blue accents
Awesome list! My personal preference this year would've included more Teddy pairs, but this year for New Balance was just really good for all releases.
Nice list. I love the Salahe 992s a lot too. The ALD 650s are on my list. I think they look fantastic. Good to finally see different color blocking on the 550/650 models. I really want to like the 9060. Maybe I'll just buy a pair and get them on feet.
nice list. can't wait to see what NB has planned for 2023.
Great video Sean, awesome pick up, especially the NB1500 IceBoy
🤝🤝🤝🤝
So much heat!! Hope to see a video of your collection of air max ❤
Oh I was just wearing the 1st and the 20th in the past two days. Great stuff Sean!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is the 1 st Year getting into new balance but now I’m hooked
Great list, I'm planning on picking up those Paperboy 1500s sooner rather than later! I feel like you could have put the whole Joe Fresh Goods 993 pack at #3, but I would have supported you picking any of the colorways.
Very similar to my own list, well done Sean!! Happy Holidays c:
Thanks you too!
Great list, Sean! For me: the Salehe 990v2s, the Bodega 9060 + 574 collabs (both colorways); the Sage + Arctic Blue JFG 993s, and the 990v6 rounded out some of my top picks for the year. And holy cow, that MJC 991 is AMAZING. I definitely had not seen that all year and it blew me away!
Yup that 991 POPS
Great top 20! Wasn’t able to grab any of the jjjounds but got the Kith V2s and V3s, both of which are awesome. My fave pair of the year is probably the paperboy 1500s-I just absolutely love the shape and the colour blocking is so good! Special shout out to the UKF 40th anniversary pairs too 😊
Good choice!
great list! Thanks S.G.!
No problem 👍 thx for watching!
Great list.🔥 Seeing your top 20 and looking at my recent pickups made me realize how wild of a year New Balance had. I have the jjjjound 990v3 Olive, ALD 991s 'grey', JFG 993 'Sage' and a few others. All top sneakers for sure. But the pair that surprised me and has been getting the most wear and love out of all my pairs this year? The 2002R "Mirage Grey". The 2002R is just such an amazing silhouette and incredibly comfortable. Match that with the famous JP colorway and it was a day 1 buy. The fact it's a GR and you can still purchase for retail is just the icing on the cake.
Yep that mirage grey just missed the list
Very nice list and I fully agree with no.1 👍
What a great list, I wouldn’t have a few but like you said its your opinion. As always fire vid 🙏🏽
i agree about what you said about the cost of the Montreal 990v3s.
THANK GOD you had the salehes top 3, they are my #1. youre goated
👌👏🙏
great list, you had every pair that I have and same exact top 3 and same #1… I wish one day I can pick those jjjjound olive up 😢
Sean, another banger
The shoe that I missed out on and probably my favourite this year was the Jjjjound 990v3 in olive. I've never got the hype around jjjjound but I've seen them on feet and I have to admit they look dope. YCMC would be a close 2nd for me.
EDIT: Just finished the video and glad we agreed Sean!
Love all the NB shoes!! If I had to choose one , the 9060 was my favourite. In particular, the collaboration with Joe Fresh Goods.
Overall, I love your list! This year I picked up the Sand Be The Time 990v2’s and the 990v3’s that just dropped today on NB. Really looking forward to the Bricks & Wood 9060’s!
Very solid list!
Glad you think so!
First full year of copping NB and boy what a year it was! My three favorites have to be the JFG 993 pack, Jjjound olive 990v3 and the KITH 990v4!
Great list! 👍
Glad you think so!
Your NB collection is awesome! My favorites are the 990 V3 Steel Blue, and Daytona, and the JFG 993 Sage.
Good choice!
Happy Holidays, Sean....
Happy holidays!
Best sneaker youtuber, all them others only showing hype nike jordan shoes lists
So much heat. Would’ve ranked Bodega a bit higher.
Easy top 5
Agree
Same 🔥🔥
100% agree they deserve higher. I have them and they're 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude is buggin. The Bodegas should have been #1 IMO
Not mad at this list; just had Teddy’s 990v2 Marblehead/incense in my top five so was surprised to not see it at all on this list. I think your #1 spot was on point.
GOAT list
Hyped for this list every year. And of course ur wrong but I still watch the whole thing lol
😂😂😂👍🤝
Great list! I agree for the most part, but I don’t know about those Sense 2002rs… 😮
Here are my top 10 pickups for the year:
1. JJJJound 990v3 Olive
2. Teddy 990v2 (Sea Salt)
3. ALD 991 (Tan)
4. Kith 990v4
5. Protection Pack 2002 “Japan”
6. Salehe 990v2
7. JFG 993 Arctic Blue
8. Teddy 990v2 Marblehead
9. ALD 650 White and Gray
10. ALD 550 Gray Suede
I wish I could have gotten those Montreal and YCMC 990v3s and the Paperboy 991s - they would have been in my top 10, maybe even top 5 if I could have grabbed them! I totally slept on the YCMCs, and that’s one of my biggest regrets of the year. I hope to grab the Paperboy 1500s in the near future though…
Great list! I received the 990v2 Sand be the Time for Christmas and I think it might be my favorite NB of the year. I know people were focused on the AMM Jordan 4s and the Jordan 1 L&F but for me the 990v2 is a better shoe and I’m glad I was able to cop.
I took an L on all 3 lol
@@griand21 congrats
1906R X Invincible x N.hoolywood and 9060 Sea Salt are my favourite NB shoes this year😁
Bought 12 to 15 NB shoes this year but chose to keep 8 of them. My top 5 NB pickups (mostly resale though) as follows:
1. Jjjound 990v3 olive (found a lightly used pair at close to 40% cheaper of resale price at my size, just had to pull the trigger then)
2. 1906r x thisisneverthat (one of my raffle retail dubs of the year which went straight to toe when received, became one of my most worn shoes of 2022 at festivals and travel)
3. JFG 9060 Penny Cookie Pink (got it for not much over retail, such a gorgeous colorway on a shoe)
4. Teddy Santis 990v2 Sea Salt (An underated shoe imo, the pure white and cream colorway is perfect for my smart casual attire for work. Also one of my most worn shoes of 2022)
5. 1906r x invincible x n.hoolywood (Such an unique pair with contrasting materials on the upper and many lace options, the orange laces is the best of them all imo)
The other 3 are the JFG 993 Arctic Blue (keeping on ice for 2023), the 9060 sea salt and 2002r navy protection pack. Overall a great year for NB. Brand of the year!
Amazing list Sean.. that’s my no1 sad I don’t have it and price is SKY high now.. that YCMC nimbus is also incredible.. NB killed it
Amazing year for sure 👏
mine would definitely be the atmos 2002r "oasis", I managed to get a pair and it has been my go to sneakers to wear
Bodega had my top spot, but Joe fresh killed the calibrations. The Paris joints were to exclusive but top 5 forsure. The whole list… chefs kiss!
You def win NB reviewer of the year. Review grs and collabs plus responsive to your fans. Appreciate you
I appreciate YOU!
Nice list 👍
Thanks! 🙏
I think my shoe of the year is the 90/60… like all of them. 😄 I know it’s perhaps a bit overly chunky, but I like the visual presence it has plus the chunk results in serious comfort. I also think pretty much every colorway available be it a collaboration or a GR is pretty great.
Same here bud.
Workwear, Ivory Cream, Bodegas and JFG on the way.
Yep, I guess I’m a fan ! 🤣
So much razzle dazzle in that model 🔥🥰
I agree 🎉
It’s the best new shoe design in YEARS. Nike relies so heavily on retro it’s refreshing to see new design (even if it’s more than a bit inspired by the triple S)
Nice!!! I think the Jjjjound olive is the NB of the year also. I just wish I picked it up!
My top 5 pickups of the year are
1. 990V3 Sea Salt
2. 990V3 Amethyst
3. JFG 9060 (both blue & cookie pink)
4. 9060 Bodega
5. JFG 993 Green & Pink.
But once I scoop the Jjjjound off the resale market, it will be #1 on my list!
Also looking forward to the CNY 9060 & CNY protection pack 2002r releasing soon.
Solid list!
The Aime Leon Dore 991 “Tan” is so underrated. Chefs kiss!
Excelente video. El kith 990v4 untied arrows es top 1 porque es el único que conseguí. Gracias, Sean. Saludos desde México . Buen detalle la playera de Mickey por haber ido a Disneylandia.
Very nice. But little surprised none of the 2002r protection pack got a nod in the top 20. Some of the colours were fire and the rough jagged cut suede was also good. Even the Benbury one did not get a mention.
United arrows kith was my favorite one in the pack it's a beautiful shoe and colorway, JFG 993 cool pick, sand be the time also very cool because I'm surprised the colorway somehow works, when I didn't see that JJJounds olive I knew it had to be number 1 once I didn't see it.
New Balance was insane this year. Every pair I got I had to keep.
Find yourself a pair of the AURALEE 2002R’s Sean! They definitely deserve to be in there!
I agree with both the JJJJound collabs....such grown man swag
same top 3 in my case, #4 for me was the 550 Sea Salt Yellow, and #5 the Teddy Santis 990 V3 Olive Leaf
I just got back into NB at the end of the year. There’s no debate that the JJJJound 990v3 is the NB of the year. I had to cop a pair when I saw them. My number 2 would definitely go to the Kith 993 Pistachio.
Moon beam Sean !
JFG 993s were an absolute banger. Have the sage now and want the blue next
nice pick ups bro! no ALD 550? so under rated imo
Sean let’s go
Can you do your top 20 NB of all time?! I know you recently did the your favorite old school NB but at least your top 20 New School. Even better, your top 20 all time favorite sneakers! Nobody does that! Come on amigo!
Fave NBs this year in no order:
- JFG 993 Sage Green
- Salehe Bembury 990v2 Sand be the time
- Conversations Amongst Us 550
- ALD 650R Green (people have completely forgotten about these!)
- 990v6 Castlerock
- TS 990v2 Sea Salt
Still waiting on my pair of 1906d Refined Futures to come in tomorrow, also a contender!
nice list 👌🏻. surprised you put 993’s so high up since you prefer 992 over 993 😅.
The 990v3 moonbeam/macadamian nut with the JJJJound brown/black 990v3 should of been in there.
My top 5
1 Jjjjound olive v3
2 jfg sage green 993
3 ycmc 990v3
4 teddy santis Marblehead v3
5 brown jjjjound 990v3
A runner up is the green basement 2002r I’m obsessed with them
So glad I went for the ycmcs on release day pictures don’t do the shoe justice but my most worn are by far the olive jjjjounds I even doubled up I wear them at least twice a week
jjjjounds are immaculate every time
I was sooooo surprise we didn’t see a 2002r protection pack in the top 20
Dude that hurts you got the Montréal jjjjound and the pink paperboy sheeesh. I'm struggling to get anything over here.
Out of all the new balances I bought this year the 990v3 Daytonas are my favorite..I don't understand why they don't do more colorways with the suede toe box instead of that mesh that is impossible to clean. Granted suede isn't either but at least the suede looks so good. I'm not mad at the mesh I just wish they did more like the Daytonas.
its the boedga 0990v3s for me!
In your opinion based on style and a bit in comfort 990v6 or 550s I need help choosing
The SB 990v2 Kith 990v4 Kith 990v3 Daytona were my top 3.
Nice pickups, but where are the 2002r protection packs? They’re fire.
I would go with the JFG 9060 in Baby Shower Blue as my #1
The best comeback to game: New Balance. No doubt!
i think the navy 2002r protection pack deserves a mention, they never really restocked those for some reason, just the mirage greys.
Sean, what about the jfg 2002r amongst us?
Can you also please do a top 20 general sneaker pickups for 2022?
Of course!
JJJJound Olive, ALD Tan and SSense would be my order.
Great list, no protection packs mentioned tho 😕
Are the 990v3 better than 990v6 ?? Comfortably
990v4 is truly a underrated shoe
Can’t argue with #1. I don’t have it and I want it
My 3 pickups of the year were Jjjjound olives, Kith Daytonas, Bodega Age of Discoveries. Had to pass on a lot of other fire pairs, but the wallet's been light so had to be choosy
🎉🎉🎉
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oddly enough, NB Lunar New Year pack was the best of the year (even though it was just released). Timeless colorways with a bit of story. Those 2002rs and the 9060s were incredible in hand
just ordered the 2002r protection pack lunar new year I'm excited
What a great year for New Balance especially the 990v3! Between 990v3 and 993 which one do you prefer sean?
V3!
Couldn’t agree more!
Great list and great work again man. But you must dislike the 9060 a lot to rank the Bodegas this low.
Between the colorblocking, material selection and quality + the story telling and special packaging (box, poster, etc…) they’re definitely a top 5 if not top 3.
But your list your taste ;)
I thought your list was pretty solid. Sure I disagreed with some choices but overall, solid list. I think you hit the nail on the head with the olive jjjjounds. Maybe my oooonly gripe would be no Slow Steady Club v5s!? I think they both look great.
SSC sat in 21-25 range 😅
@@SeanGo haha fair enough my dude! Let’s see what 2023 brings us!
Can't believe the workwear 9060 didn't get a notable mention...sheesh
I thought the DTLR Miami Drive 990v3 was a super underrated release
For me, It’s easy to say that NB is the brand of the year, they just continue to push boundaries, make great quality and overall bring amazing comfort. I gotta agree with your top 3, prolly have Salehe’s as #3 with JFG’s at #2, YCMC’s are top 5 forsure, I’d either put JFG 9060’s or SSENSE 2002r’s for top 5. It’s very hard for me to pick haha
Legendary year for NB. We'll look back on it like Adidas in 2015.
9060 Joe Freshgood , 993 Joe Freshgood & The 990v3 Marblehead Top 3
