Been waiting on your review for these. Honestly I’m super split on this colorway, but the lapis lazuli is a must cop for me. Keep building the brand bro! It’s dope to see you continue to grow 💯

Just copped the Lapis Lazuli 990v6. I had to check your video real quick for sizing info. Almost grabbed true to size! W Review and sizing info! 💪 Mousy

[@cd33832]

Did you pay retail, or resale?

[@yungwildandfreee8253]

I was waiting on a KZbinr to post a on feet video and you came clutch! Great video! 🙌🏽🔥

[@stephenstephenson8349]

The rope laces are perfect for the sneaker.

[@vanessaguerra8975]

I love this colorway, can’t wait to grab a pair. Great video!

[@YoungDeanTheOne]

Thank you for another solid review and I appreciate your NB models sizing comparisons. I’m going to try to cop the Lapis Lazuli colorway tomorrow.

[@SeanGo]

did you hit?

[@YoungDeanTheOne]

@@SeanGo No the drop on the New Balance website was awful. I'm going to try again on the wider drop this Friday. How about you?

[@jonathany.1515]

As strange as it sounds, I love this colorway as soon as Action Bronson was wearing them to the match, especially when I see that orange and purple tab at the back. The suede on my pair is very buttery, and no I don’t like the other upcoming colorways from this collab 😂

[@cmoodie]

Easily one of the best sneakers of the year and I'm not even a hardcore NB guy. But these a funky funky! Banger review, per usual.

[@star42]

You know those colouring books of cartoon characters you find in the doctor's waiting room, or at the library, where they have been thoroughly filled in with all sorts of random colours that doesn't go together by kids haphazardly? That's what these reminds me of.

[@lankmc1192]

I wanted to hit on these for retail since I’m an AB and NB fan… luckily got the RTJ Dunk SBs this past week for my rap colab sneaker fix

[@alexshewan]

Any idea of where to cop on release day here in Canada the Lapis Lazuli's? I doubt i'll manage to score them on the New Balance site given the history of these events. Any advice would be appreciated!

[@SeanGo]

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just NB.ca as our only option

[@alexshewan]

@@SeanGo I checked out a new balance boutique near me and they pretty much said the same. I think END has a raffle that ships to Canada but the cost will basically be $400 for the shoes which is brutal. Still better than paying resale though.

[@mesupt]

I respect the passion that he had for this color way. But the lapis lazuli is the one I'm waiting for

[@viralchopra917]

hey buddy! i wear 7.5 in 990v3 joe fresh goods and they fit me very comfortable with roomy fit. Planning to buy lapiz lazuli 990v6. should i stick to same size or half size down ?

[@LeeSeungChan1]

It will be officially released in Korea soon. How should I get the size? Is it a regular size? Do you think it's half size up? Please recommend something!

[@SeanGo]

I talk about sizing in depth in the video 💪

[@Chancemorgan44]

These are amazing - I am not paying half a stack for them. These resellers need to wake up I see a lot of pairs listed for 500 but the last sale is around 340 tops.

[@bah5595]

i recomend that stick to your normal size ( even if you have narrow or medium foot ) .. i spend 700$ for a wrong size .. the sad thing is my 990v6 ‘Lapis Lazuli’ and " carhartt " are coming with the same size as the baklava .. total lost 1710$ . from GOAT so no return :(

[@nickfury959]

Waiting for the “Lapis Lazuli” color way.

[@SirJeanLucAsec]

So I have heard that the sizing for collabs is usually tighter than the regular ones. I went to a NB shop today, 8.5 felt a little tight but perfect in length, the 9 are just too long. Would it be good to assume that the sizing is the same for the next collabs (like the Carhartt)?

[@SeanGo]

I always go half a size down across the board and they break in fine after wearing them 3-4 times for a few hours.

[@VinG1213]

Passed on these even though I think it’s unique and for some to rock it to their style. Good review Sean, looking forward to the new and more conservative colorway coming this weekend.

[@gospelcentered101]

Finally!!! Love this shoe.

[@rawsanity27]

I think he absolutely killed it. Very rarely do I like New Balance But He made this shoe look Good The Colorway really did it for Me Never seen anything like it before Deftly a shoe Ppl will talk bout

[@mcards2859]

Love these!

[@Oying76]

These definitely grown on me!!! 😅

[@mrotaveria]

With these ones it was love at first sight. Sadly the resale is too high for me at the moment.

[@estebeng]

I just ordered them on some f it type shit. The v6 is mad comfy. I paid resale. But. You only live once. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🔥💥🔥💯

[@CH-nw2kv]

I knew I couldn’t pull off these loud colors so I didn’t even try to get them. I like the lapis color way a lot more but I’m sure I’ll have no chance at getting them for retail.

[@3d1k3]

I was a fan from the first official images. Seeing Bronson wear these in the ring had me interested but incouldnt really see what they looked like. I like these more than the Lapis. Those look good but also boring. Had to pay resell for this pair but, the Lapis aren't worth resell to me

[@scottBT]

What’s considered really REALLY wide?

[@SeanGo]

My guess is like… wider than E?

[@Unxpekted]

Nice man, weirdly give me some kind of Yeezy vibe.

[@BirdieDev]

These I can't get behind, but the v6 is still incredible. Came out of sneaker purchase hibernation this week to snag the grey day v6's, they're so gorgeous! Hoping to see a review of those too 👀

[@dannygross8541]

Just say you can’t style em

[@gweedsUK]

It does feel like £220 for UK 990v6’s is getting punchier and punchier. I just sent a pair of the black/solver back due to glue marks on the suede. I hope they’re not starting to milk these ahead of quality. As for this model, just impossible to get over here anyway.

[@AshMashDashSplash]

More people definitely prefer the second colour way

[@mdtaylor2274]

I’m glad I skipped this color way. Just too much like a clown shoe. But I am interested in the lapis azul ones when they launch.

[@Leveleup543]

I thought these were hideous but on foot they look okay. I like the other pair more though

[@cl_smoov5124]

Been waiting for this review. Lol.

[@PassionateNotMad]

They only fire cause they sold out and resell high af if they sat and actual fans were able to get them they wouldn’t be fire to anyone they just be another new balance shoe. It got botted and continues to be botted when people only want it for resell not to walk in lol

Would've looked much better with a darker green, could of kept the whole theme of the shoe too.

No thanks

[@hofkingpin3216]

i still hate it i'm ngl, just doesn't look good

[@samlee458]

🔥 imo. but those pink rope laces gots to go 😂

[@nikchris69]

They just threw as many colors as possible; this shoe is just attention-seeking.

[@3d1k3]

That's a lot of sneakers though, right? These are definitely loud but not many snesjers are designed to fly under the radar. Especially not collabs. Kind of unusual for NB as especially on a 990 model. Even the collabs on those are fairly subdued. The wilder colors and materials are usually on other models like 580s.

[@triplef8362]

I wish nb could make non pig skin varients.

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Hippy

[@GOD999MODE]

Too noisy of a colorway for me personally. I prefer more neutral tones these days, but if you're a loud person who says "look at me," you've met your match.

[@shitheadmcgee6948]

So you’re saying you dress like everyone else and this is for people who are unique? Got ya

[@NamSonTruong]

very difficult to wear as a day to day pair imo
