    A dedicated NB video from Sean Go?! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
    The amount of heat NB dropped this year was insane; both in terms of collabs and GRs! Can't wait for 2022 and the 990v6!

    Not surprised at all on your number 1 pick being a GR. New Balance absolutely killed it with GR colorways and that 990v2 really shows that. I personally made a top 20 video solely dedicated to GR nbs of 2021 because there were so many fire GRs.

  • @chaechaerro
    @chaechaerro 2 роки тому +14

    Wow it's my first time seeing that 990v2 that you put in number one. Absolutely beautifully executed colorway and now I want one! Happy to see shoes that aren't usually considered as "hyped" being placed in the spotlight.

  • @Nanijoe10
    @Nanijoe10 2 роки тому +2

    The fact I picked up a dozen sneakers this year and 9 of them are NB is all I need to say. Not to mention only 2 of those made it to your list (Bodega 990v3 & KithxNB 1300) . Just because NB has been SO versatile this year. There were so many different silhouettes, collabs and CWs. It was just that crazy. There was really something for everyone to love, but more importantly they've all been quality.
    Can't wait to see more from you Sean. By far my favorite sneaker reviewer on the platform

    Neat video! I was surprised the other Levi's 990v3 colorway didn't make the list considering you appear to like gray, as well as earth/cream tones. I have a pair and consider them my second favorite pickup of 2021. Separately, I'll have to look more into the 920 on your recommendation.

    I’m missing the ALD collab on the 993 tbh. Both colorways are straight fire 🔥. I only managed to cop the brown pair, but they both should be on this list imo. Great NB list nonetheless Sean! Keep it up bro. Peace ✌🏽

    I love the 5740, one of the best new silhouettes I've seen in a while. That bricks and wood pair is fire, but I like even more the concepts collab, awesome shoe, I wish they had it available here in Brazil.

  • @MrRoda8143
    @MrRoda8143 2 роки тому +1

    Great list! I really like a lot of the cw's here, but unfortunately, pretty much majority of the shoes are fetching for a high resale price, and I don't dip into the resell market unless it's a grail. But hats off to bringing greater awareness and recognition of the high quality and heat the "dad shoe" company has been putting out lately

    The 992 x J Crew are ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥and I was blessed to catch them for retail. I also think the recent M992CPs that dropped are a great GR. Glad to see 992s are getting to be more accessible.

  • @ardhitoalphabhirawa4419
    @ardhitoalphabhirawa4419 Рік тому +1

    992 is also my favorite NB pair, i really like your review coz you're not always choose a collab hyped up shoes which sometimes had a terrible colorway imo. NB had a great general release colorway right now like the 992 blue grey that you mentioned also in your video. Keep up the great work sean, you really had a great taste in sneakers 👍👍👍

    @hgr.7857 2 роки тому

    Great vid 💯 Top 20!? As in, you came up on more than 20 pairs of NBs *in a year.* 😂🤯👍 That's awesome. Once I broke the seal on MIUSA NBs (1st pair = 998NF I copped used) I kinda went wild too. Now it's hard to work in all the other stuff. My feet are *happy* in some 998s. But those Version 1 editions... the quality has to be felt to be believed. Oh well, too many NBs, not enough feet/days is a good problem to have, and money is made to be spent, after all.

  • @areksoo
    @areksoo 2 роки тому +8

    Good list. I struck out in all of the collab NB releases, but was lucky enough to pick up a few this year: 992 grey, 2002R Protection Pack (Sea Salt), and 550 Team Carolina. Also thanks for the detailed review of the 550. When the newest 550s released, I was reasonably close to the front of the line, but my size 12 was already sold out. I was hesitant as I never size down, but I bought in size 11.5. You were really spot on with the sizing! A little snug in the toes, length is perfect and the heel is oddly wide.

  • @Japanaholic353637
    @Japanaholic353637 2 роки тому

    Great video Sean and really appreciate you making a list dedicated to NB. I guess it just shows how much NB's popularity has risen over the last year. For me, personally, I would have the Aime Leon Dore 993s in my top 20 and I would have the 1700JPs in my top 10. Another pair I would put in my list is the Japan-exclusive 1600s. The materials they used on these asian-made 1600s is better than any 57/40 I have seen this year. Another one I would put on my list is the 990 Version 1. I love all the 990 anniversary details that they added to these Version pairs. I wanted to get the Version 3s as well but had no luck.

    Very solid list. I appreciate how you made a separate list for solely NB releases. They definitely have earned that distinction. From the GRs to the collabs, NB has brought it this year. I just purchased the NB 992 in the blue/ black/ grey color way. Waiting for them to arrive. I love how the GRs are slept on by the masses and I’m able to scoop up a pair on a restock. Or better yet, they hit the sale rack. Later.

I really like the 992 Jjjjound grey pair with the black “N” symbol.I have the forest green pair and wear them a lot! I’ve bought a couple of pairs of 992 on your list after watching your reviews. They’re amazing in hand. I’m still hoping to buy one of your hats if you ever decide to sell them. Thanks for all you do, and I hope you & the family had a nice Christmas.

  • @MrRoda8143
    @MrRoda8143 2 роки тому

    Nice picks, a lot of them are truly great. But I have to disagree, the AMM3s were not exactly available for everyone to cop, as with most of the NB releases. The only ones I consider that the consumers had a shot at were the Patta 1's.
    Everything else, you'd better have a show plug to cop a pair. But your 20 selections here were definitely on point. The only shoes I hit on retail were the Parra Dunks, a freak snkrs miracle haha. My AJ1 Grey's, I had to bite the resale price as it was a must cop for me.

But I don't have NEWBALANCE snekers because in India 🇮🇳 they don't have any official website. They do have some stores but not in my city (kolkata)😥. I wish they could launch their website or app for India just like other brands did. So that I can buy some Newbalance snekers 🥰🥰
