My Man! First of all, I cant say thank you enough for your support and kind words! There are a bunch of old head collectors out there with stash's that put mine to sleep, tons of vintage stuff NB hasn't released in years, all the classics, but those guys are some of my idols as far as collecting goes and ive been fortunate to make some really cool connections over the years ive done this and thats the best thing ive gotten out of all of this by far. Love seeing the brand get its dues and rise in popularity recently, it's what motivated me to start making terrible videos in the first place lol to be able to interact more with the community. S/o everyone rocking New Balance today, yesterday, 20 years ago or into the future, I think its so cool interacting with and watching other peoples content and passion. You are WELL on your way to having an all time collection with the amount of energy and enthusiasm you put into this. Those Black Tom 991's and the Blackbeard 1500's are two of Crooked Tongues all time best, just started in on the basement stacks so theres a bunch more to show 😉 would be great if I could figure out the technical side of things like you have to make things stand out more but, c'est la vie 🤷♂ Thank you again for the shoutout bro, it means a ton. Cheers 🫡
Of course man! You inspire me to make content and you've shown me it's okay to have a room full of new balances 😂 you'll figure out all the technical stuff in no time! Keep doing your thing, I appreciate you 🫡
991v2 stone island is a pair ive been wanting to have since they came out. Those sold out too quick and i couldnt make the purchase. Not im hesitant to get them for resale price
The stone island 991v2 is an instant classic. I wanted them very badly but like you said they sold out so fast. Hopefully you can get your hands on a pair
Video idea : why are collabs so important for you? I mean important enough to spend so much on them? For example, you made a video on the 860v2 ALD recently. I bought a pair of 860v2's White Team Royal Silver for $99.99 (canadian, so like $74 US) at Marshalls last week... OK, the colors are nice on the ALD pair but at 4 times the price?!
This is a great video idea! You make a very good point as to why people like myself spend all this money on collab sneakers when I could find another color for so much cheaper. Thanks for the idea!
There’s a lot of NBs that I want, but the one I consider a personal grail is the Levi’s X New Balance 992. I have 2 pairs of 992s but that one is the one that got away so that L stayed with me.
No one asked but I’ll share mine: 1. JFG X Keisha blue 990 v4s 2. bricks and wood 9060s 3. Action Bronson Balkava/Lapis Azuli (resell in my size is like $600-$1000 😢)
This list is so ideal. I can’t believe I forgot about the jfg Keisha 990v4 for sure a grail for me. I love the laces in the brick and wood. The action Bronson prices have went up so much over the last few months😥 hopefully his 1906 aren’t as expensive

APs finest is the goat. Crazy collection
I just got the jjjjound 990v3 in the brown and black a few days ago. Definitely worth the money. Love from NZ ❤
I’m so happy for you, enjoy them!
I might sound basic but the grail pair has to be the Carhartt WIP. Don't think I'd every get it since I buy pairs for below retail/on sale.
I love the carhartt 990, definitely a very valid grail sneaker! Hopefully you can find a good deal on them someday
My grail is the 992 Studio FY7. IIRC it was only limited to 250 pairs. It's over a band in the resale market! 😅
I hope someone gives you $1000 randomly so you can get them 😂
AP is the goat
Hey man! Have you ever try the 2002r?
I haven’t yet but I hear amazing things about them! I need to get a pair for myself!

My NB grail has to be the ALD 990v2 😮💨
Those are so clean 😮💨

The Levi's and New balance 992 collab is so good. I can see why that's a grail for you, I hope someday you are able to get your hands on a pair!
