Bought these & happened to win the blue Madusa Azul pair as well i could not be happier

[@6zero8studio]

Just bought these. Had to have them. Love roses and being a Rose Water it was a must. Can’t wait to get them in.

[@TommyRich01]

There’s just something about this shoe. I’ve been waiting on your review since the release

[@VinG1213]

Thanks Sean for the review, after this view I placed an offer on an aftermarket platform, and it was the fastest approval and now I’m waiting on this beauty. This was opposed from the Medusa Azul that I skipped out on the drop today due to having last years blue 990v6 in my collection.

[@decoyhans]

which platform you went to ?

[@d_schack]

i have been unbelievably lucly to hit on the 990v6 Baklavas and the 1906r Rosewater for retail....kept both of course

[@blackgoblin1004]

Here to try on the NB site this week!

[@kwamemciver2712]

I’m really liking them more than the others, let’s hope NewBalance drops them although the odds of copping won’t be much different

love the way he (Action Bronson) change the layer of 1906R. So creative

[@jeffreyhandoko8721]

I really like the color blocking on this one, it's screams cheerfulness.. however, I don't know whether it's something that i can easily pull off or not.. Great review and photo shoot as always!!

[@user-sf8dm7dc7d]

You can bro, keep the outfit really simple, let the shoes do the talking!

[@cl_smoov5124]

Great review as always! He’s stated before that he only gives one pair of laces for each of his shoes so people have to wear them how he meant them to be.

[@SeanGo]

ah gotcha

[@bass_backupvocals]

Dope colorway but Im just not sure if I could pull this one off. Amazing review as always bro.

[@SeanGo]

👌🙏

[@YudiTera]

The Yellow Green version still my favourite. ❤

[@402car_kid4]

I posted about the Medusa azuls 258 days ago saying these are what I really really wanted out of them all. Couldn’t hit yesterday but im paying the resale because I need em. And I like the rose waters so I’ll probably pick them up as well. The scorpius were not even in my radar until I started looking at them closer and man the rusty suede and the cool mesh he used really makes me want a pair. I have a few bids in and if I can get them around 700$ I’ll take em. I sold a lot of my collection last year and haven’t been picking any pairs up the last 6 months or longer so I’m ok with trying to grab all 3 for resale.

[@TheUncannyOne]

Thinking about biting the price & buy it while the price is around $300😭🔥

[@MustBnice]

me too! i like how it's going down a bit, at one point they were $400ish...might bite soon too lol

[@wutchamacallit]

Do it! I waited too long to get a Size 10.5 in the 990v6 Lapiz and paid close to $600. This is the best colorway out of the 1906 Baklava pack IMO.

[@TheUncannyOne]

@@wutchamacallit I’m going to! I was really upset about not being able get them on release day 😞 I’m glad these ain’t $500 plus lol

[@KamRaunchy]

Never pay resale… unless you’re stupid or don’t care about money

[@TheUncannyOne]

@@KamRaunchy what? It’s called “wanting a shoe” & I have the money for it? 😂 80% of sneaker heads pay resale so I don’t see the point of your comment

[@rixter0624]

The release was an absolute shambles. Let’s see how the Medusa Azul release goes today. If I can get the Medusa for retail I’ll go for it. I struck out on the Rosewater.

[@GORGON_OG]

i love the azul pair

[@ZombieStrantz]

Are you gonna review the Air Max 1 HUF collab? The rosewater 1906r is pretty cool and unique, I think what turns me off is the orange sole, but other than that its beautiful.

[@vc0nn]

Paid resale unfortunately but I liked them more than I initially thought. Can’t wait to compare them to the Medusa’s

[@karenk3458]

There’s only stock laces because Action wants people wearing the shoes as is he don’t want anyone swapping the laces is what he mentioned for his last collab! ❤😊. They’re nice! I got a w on the blue pair for my daughter! Thankfully!

[@RussNasty]

Are you gonna review the Medusa ones too?? I gotta have those!

[@deejayy8303]

I always go half a size up with running shoes

[@JoeBananas3]

I’ve really been contemplating paying resale for these, they’re so good!!

[@budgetsneakerh3ad]

You would've done Baklava justice with some Nike socks. 😂

[@SeanGo]

lol i should’ve

[@mirazeemuddinahmed7709]

The kicks luk dope

[@Haktuspit]

Got 4/5 of his shoes so far and will get Scorpius one day. He's said he only includes one set of laces because "That's how I want it to come, it's an artists work, you don't go and change a painting" or something along those lines.

[@grahampinder8371]

Sean are you going to review the Meduza color-way?! I need to know what my opinion on them is

[@SeanGo]

@@grahampinder8371 yup picking up tomorrow

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Fantastic review Sean.

[@veryproudfatherTN]

New Balance sneakers are fire 🔥

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Just hit the blue ones! Woohoo 🎉🎉🎉

[@blakeobe]

Same! Didn’t think I’d ever hit on one of those eql. Hit the Philly dunks on SNKRS earlier this week too. Been a good one

[@kevinamaya6060]

Seems like a lot of ppl hit cuz I did 😅

[@silvercanopy07]

This sneaker looks happy.

[@bluen0tez]

colorway goes crazy

[@HBEE30]

Beautiful on feet ❤️

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

6:00 TTS

[@khalieloe8388]

Sean do u know if those Medusa Azul’s? Are action bronson exclusive?

[@SeanGo]

I believe stores will get them I heard

[@_cpdchua]

Best cw among the pack!!!

[@SeanGo]

yup!

[@epaws8403]

These are so good. Easily my fav out of the pack.

[@IBena]

Sean, do you know if there will be a later release on NB for these? There is contradicting info out there. Thanks.

[@SeanGo]

I heard no

[@IBena]

@@SeanGo Thank you! :)

[@gabrielveloro]

These low key nicer than both V6s

[@mikeysyke]

I disagree

[@JoseFonseca-cl3fd]

Everyone saying that can’t pull it off over think it … wear neutral tones or just white with black and 💥

[@Dan-cg8zl]

Damn brother how r u copping these in Canada?

[@paigewillow8768]

He has a US based friend or he pays resale.

[@Dan-cg8zl]

@@paigewillow8768 I dont think he pays resale - he must be subbed to one of those sneaker websites that give him priority access to these drops.

[@SeanGo]

Bronson’s site shipped to Canada

[@GORGON_OG]

this color is great for women

[@cristianmartinez4986]

Got a W from Eql raffle for the Medusa Azul 30min ago.🎉 super stoked BIG W for me

[@MrFritzwho]

No bots here so unable to cop. Maybe if resale drops enough… but I already paid resale for both 990v6s. This man is making me spend too much money. 😥

[@vinylscratch]

4:36 The reason that these and every other Action Bronson NB collab have only come with one lace option was touched upon in an interview video he did with GQ before the first Baklava 990v6 release. Essentially, Bronson says he treats his collabs "like a painting." He says, "They come as-is, I don't want you changing my shit. It's a painting. You don't go up to a painting and put another stroke on it." Honestly I have a lot of respect for that viewpoint.

[@SeanGo]

Fair enough!!

[@Richard-Reloaded]

Bronsolino

[@davidclarke7095]

Compared to the lovely 990 V6, I just can't get into these. Without the AB collab they're just an undesirable kids shoe.

[@zanemontego8090]

Not a fan of the stripes on the Logo/N-Lock.

[@tochung4596]

Took L and may consider resale

[@TheAeasy19]

They dtopped at 11am nd they we're $700 at 11:30. Foh

[@06mikerome]

PASS

[@leep_uq]

Too feminine

[@kevinkow13]

I can’t help but harken back to his initial release, where he arrogantly boasted about how he paid extra for bot protection. It was a shit show. Action Bronson sucks at rap and his shoes are even worse. I wouldn’t spend five bucks on these. With all that out of the way, Love ya, Sean.

[@SeanGo]

😭😭😭😭❤️

[@pattonPwr]

990s much much better. These are a pass

[@geoffreypotterpotter5005]

Possibly one of the worst colourways ever ,if these didnt have actions name on it they'd sit on the shelf and wouldn't sell...hype beasts will jump on anything...
