I’m damn near 50 and STILL gonna ROCK both pairs. Hit on the raffles and was happy. Either you’re a loud shoe person or you’re not. If your cup of tea are some Panda dunks then these ain’t for you. Me, I’m wearing bof’uv’em proudly
I really liked both pairs, but passed on both of them. I just like the 990v6 with more color blocking. And to me, I appreciate when collaborations give a little more creative edge and flare than just a monochromatic rendition.
I hit both pairs off the JFG raffle and I’m waiting to see which I like better in person. Blue is definitely more of my color but something about the red is really intriguing
I have the exact same mindset my friend. There are certain shoes I've bought but once I got them in person I knew I wouldn't be able to wear them because they just really didn't fit my aesthetics at the age of 42. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
Why? Is it because you’re worried about what others might think? Who cares. You’re going to be in a grave in a cemetery someday and no one is even going to remember who you are.
Welp, I happened to get both these GRs😂 this week. The red ones didn’t seem to be much exclusive being I only purchased it around 30 dollars above retail. And the aftermarket price is going down quickly. The best feature is obviously the colored midsole/outsole. Being that it’s monochromatic makes it helpful in pulling off most outfits.
Love JFG. He comes up with incredible, deep concepts for releases that are full of connection to his history and community. For me at least, the colorways being so conceptual means they haven't always hit in terms of wearability. Especially this release.
Please, if this color way isn’t for you go ahead and buy another pair of black white or grey sneakers on top the 100 pairs you already own. If you can’t pull them off then that’s a skill issue 💪🏽
Pretty shoes but it’s a pair you bust out once a year for the right fit, therefore; it doesn’t justify paying that kind of money when every damn thing costs so much money. Shoes that can be worn with more clothing makes sense for the buck.
NB Numeric has this colour on at least 2 models already. So this really isn't original thoughtful design. But put a JFG tag on it and everyone looses their effin mind.
New Balance learning from Nikes mistakes and just skipping the reseller stage, mark the price up so that you’re overpaying so much for a retail pair Thankfully, I’m done buying sneakers just for the sake of having them, after the collection hit 300 I’ve finally decided to wait for what I really want and these were an easy pass
Monochromatic NBs are kinda rare. This pack is underrated and will probably be reselling for over a grand in a few years. Both colorways are 🔥.
good call!

Do what makes you happy. Especially as we get older
both of them*
These look like great quality materials on these. Can’t wait to get my pair on hand.
I love this shade of blue! My pair should arrive this week. Great review, as always!

Fell in love with them in hand
Great colorway but I hope JFG goes back to designing shoes with great concepts like the outside clothes. Great review as always bro 🫶🫡
They are great and I’m happy to have them
Just picked up a pair well under retail on SX. Gonna be the sneaker of my summer down under
Didn’t realize when I got the red it was exclusive . Glad I got those
Just picked these up directly from NB. How did that happen? Very nice anyway!
I prefer the blue pair and it’s a dope shade of blue as mentioned it’s a wonderful 👟 for summer months!
Are you getting a pair?

I can't pull those off myself at my age. Do have to admit, these look absolutely fire.
My thoughts exactly.

@@nerdbamarich2063 Older than I look!
yeah not for older folks over say 30
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 got mines this wknd can’t wait to rock em
I had to cop, the blue on this collab is too nice !!! 😍
I hit both colors on the raffle but I think I’m only gonna keep the red ones ❤️🔥
hi do these squeeze the foot at the forefoot? a shoe that fits me well is the aj1 low

Definitely looking to get the blue pair. I like the red pair but red shoes don’t like me. Never have.
I've had a similar colorway of the Nike Vomero 5, Lakeside, for a while now.
been eyeing those but I got the green instead
Love this color way and they are going for under retail on StockX
Really like em, couldn’t get the raffle to Canada tho
Lucky enough I liked the blue more and copped. I didn’t need an all red shoe. 😂
Dam. This is clean.
I usually like JFG collabs and seek them out but I I didn’t feel these two and so passed
a great looking pair but tbh whatever the story telling is the colourway doesn't wow me all that much, but better looking than the red pair
Almost reminds me of the cloud white 350s. These are decent. I see a lot of haters made their way over here from Reddit though.
had to cop when I was seeing pairs be almost $70 dollars under retail
I think these are pretty but I don’t think I would get much wear out of them.

These are stunning but I won't pay £240 for a pair of NB. Wait and see if they brick though that's highly unlikey

I got both pairs and I gotta disagree the blue pair is not that buttery of suede
Not a big fan of either color. Still can’t go wrong with NB, though.
Joe fresh out of ideas

Good shout!!
Hey!! Nike was first to run out of ideas.
nah this is a fire release, maybe abit darker blue. but for my fits which have alot of blues I really like it.
Have to the know the history to understand these. BlackPride ✊🏾
Prefer the red but these dope too!

Not feeling neither colorway nor for me I like shoes easy to wear so i can wear them not a shoe u probly only gonna wear once maybe

I must be getting old, cause these bright ass flashy colors on sneakers is hurting my eyes 😂🤦🏻♂️

First 🥇
So impressive
Very boring and ugly collab
😭
Would've been a better shoe if the mesh would've been white. I'm not really feeling these.❤
These not it. They remind of the 993s he did in 2022 which I have a pair. Same blue theme. Pass
