I bought the normal pair from JD sports exclusive collection for 125 Eur. The materials are premium, color is awesome, and comfort on these shoes is next level. It feels like walking on clouds and the mesh is so airy. So happy with this purchase. I also bought Nike Pegasus 38 last month for almost same price 120 Eur, and that was very disappointing. Most reviewers are biased toward Nike while Puma or NB are better choice.
My favorite is definitely that sea salt color way! Im super hyped for the New Balance collar with Stone Island. Yue Wu did her thing with it, super dope.
Have to say I got a look at the white pair in hand in Offspring and wasn't a fan of the materials, particularly the toebox where there is mesh on the other cws. The grey pair does look lovely though.
hey their- im sure you're aware they drop in the USA tomorrow -I am not a sneaker head, I have been wearing NBs my entire life due to plater fasciitis- how hard is it/will it be to try to cop a pair off the websites- any insights or videos you can recommend? I just can't afford resale prices =(
Today (16.02.2022) was a drop cloud rain cw, and there were 15 stores all over Poland that were selling them and from 9-24 pairs per store and I managed to buy for myself :)
Did anyone else’s phantom pair come like super discolored and faded ? Doesn’t even look black ? Or is that how they are ? It’s like they been out in the sun for awhile and faded lol
They all dropped on New Balance EU the same time they dropped on BSTN (here in UK I copped a pair of rainclouds), they were sitting for like 2 mins and then people started to realise.
@@jeremymcintyre5316 I wear UK9/EU44 in almost every trainer, and got a UK9 in these (which are actually a EU43) and they were too snug, my toes hit the end. I swapped for a UK9.5/EU44 and they fit perfect - I wouldn't recommend going down half size, specially down in a UK half size - stay TTS I reckon and in some cases half size up. A tip for people in UK: for these i'd say go with the EU size you normally wear, NB are weird with their sizing conversions imo.
@@jeremymcintyre5316 everyone's foot & pref is diff but hope this helps fr my exp -- fit snug esp for wide footers, so x0.5 size up fr my 550/990v5/998/1300/1400 & full x1 size-up fr 327/990v2/996
size for me are weird... i got 43 true size but NB 44 1/2 ................................................................................................................... so please try em on first thanks great video :)
indeed they fit snug. full size up from your TTS-NB size e.g. 9M US in 992, 990v5, 1300 etc is 10M US for 2002R PP (if you're new to NB take your nike TTS 9.5M US and go to 10M US for these)
Protection pack, i think it’s name after wolfs. Like endangered species, wolf are protected. The three cw represents the different color of wolfs and the aspects seems like grey wolf and fur of wolfs nah? Am i tripping? 😥

Oh man these are gonna be hard. The white and rain clouds are a must
These are super fire, agree black are the best looking out these 3 but appreciate the rain-cloud too
What pants are you wearing at 7:50?
loved this review man, so chill & informative. Just copped the Salts I won from a raffle 🔥 Can’t wait!!!
Congrats man
Walked into a sneaker store and they had them sitting at the display. Managed to get the Salt pair cause that’s all they had. Really into them.
Wow that’s crazy
@@JoshDominic all of the shipping delays are kinda helpful. The shop I went to decided to keep it low key.

oh snap, didn't realize you were the one behind the kickback podcast. i'm a subscriber and love it! keep it up!
Great vid JD !
solid review JD. incredible prem materials & build for a GR e.g. pig suede, mesh, etc. again NB doin' bits
do these have pigskin ?
Is this half size only like air forces or true to size?
Have to say I got a look at the white pair in hand in Offspring and wasn't a fan of the materials, particularly the toebox where there is mesh on the other cws. The grey pair does look lovely though.
How does these fit compared to af1 same sizing or 1/2 size up or down
Does anyone know if the protection pack fit the same as regular 2002r models? i tried regular models in the store and 8.5 fit good.
New BALANCE is growing popularity.

POD is great! appreciate the insights!
Thanks man
I’m a 9.5, would you guys say I can go down half a size and still be good? Or would it be tight?
Yea get the 9.5
i’m a 9.5 but wear 9 on new balances they tend to run a lil bit bigger but not so much tho
Hey Josh, what size are you wearing just wondering.
Great vid!
I’m 10us in my 990v4s and they fit me well. Should I go for the same size or 0,5 size up in these? (I have wide feet)
Copped the black today, can't wait to rock it 😍
From where
I wear a 8 in men , should i get a 8.5 ?
I've been on the lookout for these for a while it seems! Still waiting on the US drop and the NB site drop 🙏
Should be coming in next couple of weeks I think
When is the us drop
I have a 45Eu of the 550 NB, what size should i take? A true size or ah half size down?

Amazing, enjoy them so much, I want them so bad but here in Mexico they didn't arrive :’((
@@arvinrodrigopalacios2477 thx mate
@@arvinrodrigopalacios2477 I wish you the premiere of the 2002r protection pack in Mexico soon!!
Have the Rain Cloud, your right, the Black is very nice…. Gotta grab it
i got both
Do they fit true to size?
If I have flat feet and wide feet should I stay 7.5
Where did the sea salts drop?! goddamn, sad I missed it.
Did anyone else’s phantom pair come like super discolored and faded ? Doesn’t even look black ? Or is that how they are ? It’s like they been out in the sun for awhile and faded lol
I dont really like the white pair but the Black pair ist straight up fire. So hyped i was able to cop em for retail. Love that Shoe
From where bro???
@@micaiharrison4540 Asphaltgold, but pretty sure they are sold out
yo josh !!
Glad I waited
da goat 🐐
yal be saying everything except how they run and fit like that’s what we wanna know
Does any one knows when they release in the states
I need to know
mad details, prem materials & build. have the JPs, 992gr steve jobs, ald collabs, other GRS but these.... they're cold
Copped that gray pair on stock x for 210. 😎
Hard 🔥
super clean
Cdg already done that leather panelling with the Air Force 1 mid collab
New balance should up the amount of pairs made for these that way resale could go down and people who want them can cop
Yea surprisingly limited release on these
They all dropped on New Balance EU the same time they dropped on BSTN (here in UK I copped a pair of rainclouds), they were sitting for like 2 mins and then people started to realise.
How do they fit? I go down half a size for 992/997 should I stay TTS for these?

some cream laces on the black pair.... oh god
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Did you end up copping at retail??
Yes
These didn’t release in the us yet have they?
cdg x nike airforce 1 is def an influence
Yea the white pair definitely remind me of the cdg

You tripping man
@@JoshDominic ahahahaha
These are basically off whites. Amazing. Sneaker of the year for sure….well I’m torn between these and the joe fresh goods outside clothes
Josh, I am American living in Germany. I have both an American and a German address I can help you get American releases if u need a hook up
TTS don’t buy 1 number high or low
Du kannst Deutsch?
…. Just look at those prices by now
Disagree on the sizing, these fit easily a half EU size too small.
Looks better with joggerpants trust me +1
The homeless pack😂
love these, was able to get the cloud & salt pair, still need the phantom tho🥲
