This was my most anticipated sneaker of the year. Funny how 990s are considered dad or grandpa shoes outside the DMV. Also, I don't think they have that stigma outside of the US. Anyway, I can't wait for the collabs for this model.

I'm a native Washingtonian, and in DC, New Balances have been a staple in my city my entire life. I'm 37, by the way. I love how across the country these days, everybody is getting hip to New Balance. On behalf of ALL of us who grew up with an affinity for these shoes, who ya'll crowned for wearing "old man shoes," we would like to say, "YA'LL LATE! But welcome to the party!" 😂 Now give us our props for having exquisite taste in both style and comfort! I'm still tryna get used to seeing ya'll out of towners wearing our classic, traditional kicks..

Just so you’re aware, the 990v2 is one of the most narrow NB shoes and it’s essential to size up on those because the toe box will mess your toes up. It’s also just not that comfortable under foot. If you want comfort, look into the 990v3, v4, v5, and v6. Also look into the 992 and 993s.

@3:00 , it probably was the V2s because those are uncomfortable! The V3s took about 10 wears to break in. The v5s were super comfortable straight out the box. The V6s I Don’t like because of the midsole.. I feel they’re getting chunkier but they aren’t bad. I’ll stick to the v5s
@DragonsTypesOP
Жыл бұрын
Alright! New Balance nerd incoming! So, the 990vX line is a very interesting line because each version has a cult following, even if many may or may not dislike one version. The V1 is widely known as the least popular because it has such similar design languages to the 574, 577, etc for a higher price… and they do not have ENCAP, Abzorb, or FuelCell, so it’s a very firm ride. The V2s, however, do have Abzorb but have a weird midsole tapering where as you go to the forefoot it’s very thin, so you barely feel any cushion (as the heel also requires break-in time). I am *almost* sure that you were wearing V2s, and I say that not only because it’s on the firmer side, but probably because the V2s have a HEAVY taper on the upper and that narrowness going toward the toebox kills some people’s feet (even if you have the correct size). The V3-V5 have ENCAP, with a heavy agreement that the ENCAP gets better with each iteration. The V3 is colloquially known as the most popular out of the 1-5, and the V6 obviously departs from that. I am a fan of V1-V6, and am pretty excited to feel the new combination of FuelCell and ENCAP as a long-run casual shoe. The V1-V5 are not the plush, comfortable, pillowy sneaker. They are neutral, bouncy shoes that rarely ever hurt your feet (if not, never) after a long day’s of walking. In some weird way, I like to say they are a Jordan Fan’s next stage in sneakerdom. Because if you like JB’s comfort (which realistically is not the most comfortable - aside from the 12s and 13s) then you’d love NB! But alas, as we know, some people are traditional and prefer JB, Nike, even adidas. And I respect it, as a 1s fan and Continental fan here! But if you are this person wanting to try NB, give the 990 model a shot. Try the v3 or v5 first (widely available in stores, so try them on), and then explore the world of NB! Thank you for the review, Chris and Jodi!
@DragonsTypesOP
Жыл бұрын
I will also say, that the “newer” 2002r is also a good option to start your NB journey with. I didn’t recommend that one first, because some people consider it to be narrower than the 990 (even as non-wide footer) so please try it on first. Sorry, talk a lot.

New Balance ruined one of the best shoes of all time. It went from a sleek, versatile, functional, and fashionable shoe with a dad vibe, to a straight up ugly grandpa shoe. I’ve had 3 pairs of 990’s, but I absolutely hate these.

i just bought a pair of these yesterday and they're nice. Not the most comfortable but good for daily wear. I had the 990v3's and those were dogs*** in terms of comfort.

While Nike and Adidas make the softest cushions on foot, New Balance are much more comfortable because of the shape, arch support, and the right cushion firmness. If you wear softer cushions like Boost, you run the risk of fallen arches and plantar fasciitis, many sneakerheads and consumers fail to realize it until it is too late. I use the 574 as my daily and never had any issues until I started wearing Adidas 350s.
