I'm mostly a Nike guy, but honestly NB are actually the most comfortable sneakers EVER.

How I feel about the V5... V6 seems like an downgrade and you can tell they were pinching pennies...

[@Believeintherun]

Just picked these up. Casual NB is out of our normal coverage, but we needed some walking-around kicks. Seeing your praise makes me confident that I went with the right pair. Thanks for the coverage.

Can't keep the energy I had a few years ago anymore. New balance is here to stay

Best Quality of materials and craftsmanship for the money hands down.

Not compared to the V5.. There is an apparent value engineered approach to the V6...

[@briguyinsi]

Either NB is underrated, or people just don’t know. Just grabbed a pair of the OG Protection pack CW off Goat myself, but need some new 990’s too.

[@THEsoulquarian]

990’s have been hella popular in the DC, Bmore areas so I expect to see these everywhere soon. I wasn’t feeling the v6’s at first but they’re growing on me

990v3 and v5 are heavy in my rotation due to their comfort and sharp looks. I’m not feeling the chunky midsole yet, but I can see these growing on me eventually.

[@Toddwhinehouse]

They not as chunky in person definitely bigger but not too crazy to where it’s a whole different shoe

[@Rob.28]

I feel the same way I wear my v5s constantly and me and my gf were both looking at the v6 in store and it's just not it plus they're $200 now I think they look like they're orthopedic shoes the whole back 1/4 of the shoe just doesn't look right

[@mutapamighty6171]

Me too I hate the sole size.

[@Affordableshoereview]

They really stacked the foam on this one. Looks a little chunkier than previous 990s

[@bigvision]

The NB 990 series to sneakers is like the Porsche 911 is to cars. So I says to the guy!

[@dandsyfam1813]

The problem with these will always be everyone's old 990s are still doing just fine. Beat 990s just hit.

[@MrBrentblair1130]

Facts! But can’t front, I had to cop anyway. Will wear v5 in rain and other questionable weather

[@banicksy]

I haven’t graduated to NBs just yet. I’ve had running NB shoes but not at the 990 level. I am on the lookout for those Ronnie Fieg pistachios 👀 those just might be the graduation

[@roycelabor4339]

Great review! I just picked up my 990v6s yesterday and they didn't leave my feet til I went to bed! I've been a Nike and Adidas guy for most of my life. Yeah, I had a couple of pairs of NBs, but wasn't that crazy about them, largely because I didn't ensure that I had the right fit. Not this time! I went to my local NB store and got them to fit me. In a word, WOW!!! Thanks again for the great review.

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..

I really rock with 550s but I see the vision

[@RichardBridge-fw3tf]

Spotted a pair of these in the new NB store in the Trafford Centre here in Manchester, England. Bought a pair on sight, went for the grey, cream, light-brown combo over the all-grey colourway. What a shoe! I like the nod to the chunky trend without getting ridiculous with it. Normally a Diadora Camaro man, so £225 for trainers felt like a stretch, but just a Rolls-Royce ride from the get-go. It's taken me to reach age 49 to look at this model - the Steve Jobs-on-a-stage / dad shoe vibe kept me away, so I guess I had to wait until my own vibe went that way, too! Luckily for me, by the time I got to the party, we've reached a zenith with this v6. btw my only previous NBs have been 373s (not even sure they sell these in the States?)...nice shoes but they are mere shapeless plimsoles compared with the support and structure of the 990.

[@SurferKroky]

"If your sneakers had to wear sneakers ,they would wear these " 😂😂 Without a doubt the best thing i have heard in 20+ years of youtube. Im actually ded 💀 😅 Subbed !!

[@dannygonzalez6548]

Fun fact: when I was a kid I thought N stood for Nike and I liked them better. These were the days when pops would take me to the rack in like Kmart and say find your size. So I had no point of reference, had never walked up to a wall and asked someone if they had my size or even saw a sneaker box b.

Nb is definitely a great sneaker company. The 2002r and the 9060 are great feeling kicks as well. I ordered a pair of the v6, but they came in with a smudge on the front toe box.

[@donniebrasco7725]

New Balance ain't it. P

[@sl2608]

Bought the v6. Sent it back the same day. Worst fitting shoe I've ever worn. Totally different fit from the v5 (which I love). v6 is longer and much more narrow. Especially in the toe box. I normally wear a Wide. It was too tight, so I ordered and Extra Wide. NOT extra wide at all. My toes were still cramped. Extra Wide fit more narrow than a Wide in my v5. Also, there is very little padding inside the v6. Much more padding in the v5. The back area behind the ankle bone in the v6 is stiff and hard. And the tongue is flimsy, again no padding, just cheap, rough and scratchy mesh. Very uncomfortable. I don't get what people are loving about the v6. Wish they would keep making the v5. Meantime, I'm sticking with my 993 (best shoes NB makes) and my 990v5 as backups.

[@DirectorLJ]

They're not that different??? Yes. They are. And notice how they're now not using nearly as much suede. Less cost, same high price. Bigger profit margin. Jus sayin'
