Always here early for the NB reviews, hell yeah brother 🔥🔥
These are dope. I just recently got into NB. I bought a GR 574 from an outlet and my feet don't know how to act lol. I had to go back and watch this review again. The many shades of grey add so much depth and character to this shoe.
Finally a channel that shows consistent love to NB. I’m a long time NB collector and it’s so hard to find UA-camrs that still do reviews. I know it’s starting to become “new hype” with some of the collabs but us old timers still appreciate. Make your next pair a made in UK 1500. You won’t be disappointed.
Look forward to a 1500!
Prayer circle for a M1400 review one day 😅
Sean, you've been bitten by the New Balance bug, haven't you? 😂 Welcome to the club!
🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼
Thanks for the NB reviews sean , glad you rock NB as alot of us do !
Thanks for watching!!!
Just bought this exact pair before watching the video. That NB bug bites hard tho! Such a plain, dope sneaker. Great quality and understated appeal!
Sean buying sneakers like there ain't no pandemic. I love it.
Never go wrong w/nb 998 top notch sneakers yours truly already own 4 pairs grey colorway is out of this world!!
I am so happy I found this channel!!
👌👌👌👌
Nice. I agree, the grey is iconic, and classic!
I have the 997s Marblehead and think I'll snag the 997 Grey sometime soon. Love the NB looks
The 998 is a beautiful silhouette but the 1500 is what I think of as THE iconic New Balance.
I really like the colours - plain and some but ultra cool. Got 577 in this colourway - it totally works on nb, s 👌🇬🇧
Super low-key. I dig 'em
Excellent videos but sad to see with 5.2 k views buts just less 200 likes you deserve more appreciation man...amazing videos very new to the channel and am loving the content
Thx for your support
Sean you gotta review the 327s! I got the 997s and 827s but the 327s is definitely the NB sneaker that got me even more interested in NBs
I agree 992 could fade a bit but some of the colourways at moment are sensational. 👍
Love 998s.
Although I think 997 slightly better - the 998 are a top trainer - they just look so stylish. Grey gives a vintage /classic look which I love. Really good purchase and review 👌 👍
Nice video and the shoe is dope 👌
Classic!
As much as I love this shoe, the saying "they don't make them like they used" could derive entirely from this shoe. The inner lining of the heel is the first thing to go in a few months time. Wish they could amend this flaw as it seems to be a universal issue (also more wide sizes please #NewBalance).
Awesome review as usual Sean.
Love my pair so 🔥🔥
Can't have a New Balance collection without getting something gray!
I’m a huge New Balance guy, glad you’re showing them some love lately. Do you have any of the 1500s or 1530s?
Not yet! One day I’ll have to add one to my collection
awww yea more new balance shoes. I got a couple of 990v5s and they all day comfortable.
I love them
Gonna put white laces in my grey nb, s. Makes them look cooler. 👍
Lovin' the NB love. I got bit back in 2016. It started off because I loved their running shoes. I have wide feet and NB are perfect for a wider foot. They even have a wider size for their running collection if you have hobbit feet. Lol.
These shoes are awesome. The midsole looks strikingly similar to the 247, which was obviously inspired by the 998. The 247 (specifically the Engineered Mesh) is hands down the most comfy shoe I have ever worn, but the 998 is definitely sexier.
I got the 998 Navy / Burgundy: there are only so many grey pairs of New Balances you can get before you have to call it enough and start seeing if they actually know that there are other types of dyes in the world... :-)
One of the top 3 new balance of my favourite.I not so into those dad-shoe types and I don't know why they become so hit this year.
Legendary nahoy best shoe ever best arch support and heel drop 🤤
Hello, What year are your M998 released? Thanks for the answer✌🏻
Hey man, great review! Any NB suggestions for wide footed amongst us?
2002R, 990 V5 are decent for wider feet I feel
My favourite silhouettes are the 1500 & 998.
Any good websites to shop for 998s? They’re a little hard to find ☹️
Got infected by the NB virus back in 2010 and haven’t healed since lol! Welcome to the club!
Lmao!! Thanks!
How do the 998’s fit compared to the 997’s? Should i go with the same size i get in 997’s?
Any NB 327 reviews coming up? Hoping to get a look before more come out next month
If I can ever get my hands on a pair lmao
Srsly, who dislikes a SeanGo review? 🤷🏼🤣 You gave great fit info in the vid, but for a point of reference: How do 998s & 997s fit compared to a AM90 recraft? Compared to to a 574s? I have long, narrow feet (skis) but those 2020 Air Maxes are my gold standard & fit me perfectly. Thanks in advance & for all of your hard work & outstanding content 👍💯👍
Generally 997 fits a touch longer than my Air Max 90 Recraft but I stick tts for both. 998 I usually go half size down.
@@SeanGo Dude, W🙂W. Thanks for a speedy & helpful reply. Got 👀 on a pair of USA 998s. ('Moby Dick' 🔥💯🔥) Who am I kidding, prbly get both 😆, but I want them to fit, ya know. I like the 997s better, visually, but you always mention the comfort of them being less than the other 99x's.
the 998s are my NB Goats! better than 990s IMO
Bought these shoes on stock x a couple months ago. Regret not going a half size down because I would’ve gotten a lot more use out of these. However they are still very versatile.
I got 1 size up in a 990 (last pair). Will I live
@@BballBully not sure, I never had a pair of 990's before. I could tell you that for 998's and 997's that you should go a half size down.
Just bought the 997H but not sure whether I like the 997H, 990v5, 992 or 998 more now!
So many solid options lol
Heat
The heel cap of this is very uncomfortable. It bothers my heel area when wearing it. It also seems to block the cushioning in the heel area and I can barely feel the absorb cushioning. The cushioning on the forefoot is non-existent too and had to wear a different insole. Thought it will break in after a few months but it did not happen :( Did anybody get this discomfort as well for the 998?
Hey, hoping to cop the new Ronnie’s when they drop. Never owned a pair of 998s before. I appreciate you say in this video that you’d go half a size down with the 998 - do you generally still agree with that recommendation?
Yup! Hopefully the kith ones fit the same
@@SeanGo thank you 👌
Where can I find these??
Yup... too boring for me. Were you able to pick up the Tokyo Design 1300? I noticed that Haven had them, but noticed too late. Doesn't seem like any other shops in Canada got them. Oh well.
Yeah I did, waiting for them to ship!
Sweats ID?
Recently got a New Balance 998 Fishing Blue, they are not even remotely comfortable... They are stiff much like the Jordan 3 for example. Does this feel the same and you consider it comfortable, or did I get fakes?
I guess everyone’s feet are different?
Damn your diplomatic replies! 😂
+1 on the 998 sole being so stiff
Frankly I was getting into NB/ASICS lately and was looking at your past videos i.e. the grey day pack for sizing advice. Your recent videos not ‘helping’ too... 😂 my wallet needs a bailout.
That said another L on Ben and Jerry...
997 or 998 greys?
997
Yo I heard new balance is back
LOL it is... say no more
it kills me that they don't make this model anymore. It was the only good looking new balance model imo
Those are clean but im not too much of a fan on that tounge i think its a bit big
You get used to it, eventually you start to love it. The comically long tongues on the 997, 998 and 999 are easily my favorite part of those shoes.
You've got the wrong colourway on the intro bro!
Whoops good catch hahah
so basically all of them lol
