What I love about this series is each pair is very wearable, I can't see any in here that I personally wouldn't wear at certain times of the year.

[@suprajuno]

The amethysts are growing on me more and more. That shade of purple is dope

[@otto7556]

Every color way of the V3’s is sooooo goood just perfect I want them all!!! Gotta get me at least one from this collection. Really enjoyed this video 😁

[@Oying76]

I have been waiting this for a minute. I really thought your #1 will be the Sea Salt. I agree 990v3 Marblehead is the best colorway on all the Teddy Santis Collection. This is the only pair I copped. Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@AriannaFrancesca]

Awesome video! I picked up the Raw Amethyst for myself and absolutely love them. Definitely quickly moved up as a favorite.

[@oldmansneaks]

Great review and ranking Sean, I reckon their placement will change as time goes on.. will be interesting to look back to 2-3 years down the line, or maybe even after season 2 and season 3 completes 😁

[@610jiggy2]

Sea Salt v3s the best in my opinion. It’s just clean & the easiest to rock; it goes with every outfit.. S/Os from VA

[@therefjeff2730]

I have 3 of the V3s (Navy, Sea Salt, Moonbeams) you put in the top 5, and I agree with you on them! Seems like the Marblehead and Sea Salt CWs are heavy hitters in your ranking!

[@sneakerjunki3]

The V3 amethyst, V3 marblehead and V3 stray rats are my top 3.

[@poodle3927]

I love those Olive leafs and the castlerock colorway both are 🔥 beautiful shoes.

[@phesoj92]

Great stuff per usual Sean! Imo, the dunks and Jordan’s getting oversaturated last couple of years has led to a more “even playfield” and increasing availability on the sneaker landscape which I think NB has capitalized great deal of. Though it kind of worries me (similar to Nike), NB as of late, has dropped tons of popular models/CWs/collabs which I think is in their interest making most out of the “shifting” market. 2002r are a great example of that. I know that there are tons of 2002r great CWs/collabs/GR and some less interesting ones but would u maybe care doing a similar list of that model? As always thank u for educating and sharing your views with your audience. Keep up the great work!

[@michaeldelacruz8798]

Yo Shawn! Love the content as always but we’re still waiting on your top ten NB new school list or your all time top ten NB list?!

[@mattmc8391]

Totally agree on the top three ,can’t disagree with anything here actually 🙌 I ended up with the Navy / Spring tide V3 , I love just looking at them 🤩 materials are great .

[@samlee458]

very nice list. for me, i would bump all the v3’s to the top of the list haha. but of cos the marblehead v3 is my top favorite of the whole pack 👌🏻. color combo is just so good imo.

[@alejandroserrano7755]

V3 are the better version if we being honest

[@miggles4406]

I prefer the V2 Marblehead, I think the colour blocking is better. Both are AWESOME though

[@chaechaerro]

My favorite is actually the Scarlet V3s! Followed by the Marblehead V2s and V3s and the Macadamia Nut V1s

[@SeanGo]

Hahaha damn!

[@chaechaerro]

@@SeanGo Love that everyone seems to have a different favorite, his collection has something everyone would like. Hope it's the same for Seasons 2 and 3

[@poodle3927]

Martin tierro I absolutely agree with all 3 colorways. I think they should have been tanked higher

[@momonyak]

Happy to see some love for the macadamia nut. I only have 1 pair from this season and it hurt me when @sean go ranked it 15th.

[@joel09899]

i bought about 4 pairs (2 990v3s (raw amalyst and sea salt) and 2 990v2s (sea salt and navy) but chose to only keep the 990v2 sea salt, because that has be my go to for my casual work/office attire. Giving up all those 990v3s to get the jjjjound olive 990v3, which i am excitedly waiting for. And i am definitely looking forward to the new Aime Leon Dore 550s, Joe Freshgoods 993 and Season 2 of the Teddy Santis Collection.

[@sideswipe714]

Was hoping you would do a list! I agree that v3 looks/comfort >> than the v2 and v1. But I do like the look of the v2s. My top 5 would be all v3s: Navy, Marblehead, Moonbeam, Sea Salt, Raw Amethyst

[@SeanGo]

👏

[@miguelsanchezlopez9433]

1, Moonbeam. 2, Sea Salt. 3, Olive Leaf. 4, Raw Amethyst. 5, Marblehead.

[@yormeaceko7101]

For sea salts, v2 or v3?

[@theryansullivanshow]

I really appreciate your vids my G!

[@KidsSeeFantasmas]

Got the olive leafs because of your vids! Need the amethyst now

[@thegoodguy5738]

nice list. also looking for your review on the carharrt 990v1

[@herohour6496]

This is an excellent video. Very informative and very visually stunning. Thank you.

[@SeanGo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dannypitassy]

Hey Sean! Fellow Solesavy member, and the amethyst was an instant classic when I saw it. Luckily I missed the first drop but a few days later the SS crew notified me about shipping from a Canadian retailer with no tax and free shipping to California!

[@SeanGo]

Nice!!! Love that pair

[@MrWalker54]

1) Moonbean V3 2) Black V2 3)Macadamia Nut V1 4) Olive Leaf V3 5) Marblehead V2

[@beachcity562]

I like marble 990 V1 and macadamia nut 990 V1 in top 5 raw amethyst, sea salt, marigold! Dope list can't wait for the second season

[@daenehegner]

Great to see those kind of content (NB-related) here on KZbin

[@SeanGo]

Yessir!

[@adamsteinberg9271]

All seasons covered with these. Moonbean V3 ranks#1 for me and low-key I think the Navy V3 ranks#2 for me based on versatility and will probably be #1 during the fall/winter

[@michaelmccann2072]

Hey Sean is there a link to see the full season 1 and season 2 collection designed by teddy santis?

[@jonathanquiroz297]

Love your videos bro! I’m still waiting on your review of the kith 990v3 steel blue!!

[@SeanGo]

If they’ll ship lol

[@renatorodrigues5016]

Number 1 is 🔥 my favourite NB coming out this year.

[@bishoujokai]

Just got the Navy/Castlerock and its so easy to use!

[@yuriwibowo3866]

Great review Sean! My personal rank would be: 1. Amethyst v3 2. Olive v3 3. Steel blue v3 4. Seasalt v3 5. Marblehead v3

[@SeanGo]

Solid

[@TandJPerthLife]

I agree with your top 5... Although i went for the Kith Steel Blue over the Teddys.

[@oliverjones6687]

That’s a hard list to rank so hats off to you on breaking it down so well. Also scary when you work out how much you’ve spent purely on this collection alone with each being around £200 😟

[@SeanGo]

🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@PlasticLyfe]

Thanks for the comparisons

[@mikedonovan9783]

Good list and very solid top 5. I bought N1 for me and N5 for my wife :)

[@shengzhang5570]

top 2 agreed. i can see you really dig 990v3 lol. awesome list except 990v1 marblehead should be way higher in the list :)

[@kevdaylight]

Got 13/16 and your top 3 is what’s eluding me 😭 as you usually say, everyone’s preferences are different, I would just replace v2s with v3s on your ranking. I prefer V2s because of their sleeker, less bulkier look than the v3

[@dontezm3958]

Solid list 🔥

[@Dantega415]

I got agree with your list but imma have to put the Marigold’s up a bit higher. I love orange too much being a giants fan. And I’d put the Sea Salt V3’s at number one followed by the Marbles n Amethyst. Didn’t know their was a 2nd n 3rd season so I’m def hyped. All my past few cops have been all NB’s

[@LoneWolfandCub]

blue jays! great comparison vid!

[@nurswiz]

Love you bro. You are best sneaker blogger.

[@picanha694]

I agree with your list. the amethyst and the marblehead v3 is the best.

[@SCRandall]

The only shoe from this collection I have are the "moonbean" v3s, so obviously they're the best :)

[@wzz399]

New Balance 990v2 sea salts for me are class.

[@cupofrice]

Yo Sean - Between v2 and v3 which shoe would look best with shorts? I live in the South so it's shorts 90% of the year lol.

[@SeanGo]

V3 probably

[@SPMNDK89]

Only pair I picked up was the moonbeam v3s, woulda also copped the amethyst and olives but sold out within minutes so 🤷

[@marcusedcofficial]

I think I'm going with the navy 990v3 for my first ever new balance!

[@briandorsey6437]

Fire blue pair of NB

[@ev1627]

I like this list a lot I’d have ranked the 990v2 true camo higher but again that’s your opinion :)! Edit: I think you based off the list on comfort and uniqueness which is very understandable. Just had to point this out there for the people who might go out to get you 😂! Great list nonetheless

[@JussLoveMeDontHate]

Solid list!!

[@areksoo]

I agree with the top 5, but swap the Raw Amethyst and Navy. Now that the 990 collection is done maybe they'll finally release the 990v6.

[@vor946]

i love my moonbeams but the suede is now permanently dirty:(

[@Unxpekted]

V2 sea salt and marble head are at the top 2 spots on my list. V3 has too bulky of a toe box for me so I always gravitate toward v2. Raw amethyst are amazing!

[@weirdflex2608]

And i just got marblehead 990 v3 yesterday at retail price dang

[@ariliff]

Hoping for some 998s next season

[@alborzmont2860]

My top 2 are V2 MARBLEHEAD AND Sea salt/navy/red.

[@kenken_77]

fully agree on #1 bro!

[@ericadiewibowo]

Number one should be 990v3 sea salt Teddy Santis ❤️

[@la7091]

daaamn i thought the "black/ true camo" was the best one of the pack lol on feet is even better Top 3 imo: 1. black/true camo v2 2. moonbeam v3 3.scarlet v3

[@feisalbimopramusdi4584]

My top five would be like this. 1. 990 v3 "Navy/Spring Tide" 2. 990 v2 "Navy/Castlerock" 3. 990 v1 "Marblehead" 4. 990 v3 "Sea Salt" 5. 990 v3 "Raw Amethyst"

[@Dill_doh]

Sea salt V3s or V6?

[@NanaaaCarvalho]

Great video Sean, but Scarlet was robbed :( Hugs from Brazil!!

[@edmondwoon]

Yeah, we have same taste and top 3 ranking. Fist bump Sean 🤜.

[@SeanGo]

Yesssss

[@kaina732]

1) Marblehead 990 V3, 2) Sea Salt 990 V3, 3) Navy/Spring Tide 990 V3.

[@jeffbenedetti2599]

If you ever have a size 13. I'd be very interested

[@dirakurnia4739]

ngl, my top 3 is the samee lol.. :D but I do think Sea Salt V3 goes up to the 2nd place because it's easy to mix & match w/ my fashion rotation!

[@zaheeralghul2509]

amethyst is the best colorway. I really slept on them. The Red/Navy v2 aren't as good as I thought they would be.

[@willfredtk]

I love my navy spring tide I wear them all the time

[@leo2832]

My top 3 picks: 1. Marblehead v3 2. Sea salt v2 3. Moonbeam v3

[@rileysmith4735]

I wouldn't mind this influx of 990s, if they mixed in some other silhouettes such as the 997/998/999. The 990-993 really aren't to my tastes :(

[@feliperodriguez466]

Hi Sean where did you get the sweatshirt from?

[@SeanGo]

Walt Disney world a few years ago

[@alalha100]

Raw amethyst my fav

[@waadrabbani8552]

Make an updated sneaker collection video. All the sneakers you have your collection.

[@moncherso8902]

Is the v3 comfortable to wear whole day?

[@SeanGo]

very

[@SleepingElephant]

Very similar lists, I rank mac nut and olives as top 2. Raw, navy lower more mid list.

[@ASpec818]

Solid list but navy spring tide 990v3 takes #1 for me

[@hochayfai5220]

990 v3 is nuclear!!

[@aarontherobberbaron]

My Top 3: 1. Moonbeam v3 2. Scarlet v3 3. Olive Leaf v3

[@TourmalineTovah]

Honestly my top 3 would be 3) 990v3 sea salt 2) 990v2 sea salt 1) 990v3 moonbeam 😊

[@dieserrobi]

Imo the olive leaf is far higher in the ranking. I‘d say top 3 for sure

[@cmn225]

and it's not 3

[@adwinvargas6431]

New balances go with almost everything

[@bored2dad]

Just bought a M990TA2 (seasalt/navy) at 50% off. Not my favorite colorway but value for money.

[@SeanGo]

sheesh steal

[@skaijuice3714]

Respectable Top 3. But i thought the V2's could have been a higher slot. Your bias untowards for V2 is...noticeable. haha.

[@SeanGo]

Hahahah

[@chay3003]

#1 Raw Amethyst v3 #2 Marblehead v2 #3 Macadamia nut v1

[@ldm2622]

scarlets are #1 for me. not really following the reasoning that it looks like a GR colorway. I feel like any of those grey/white toned pairs can be GR

[@dominic8645]

ill put the navy v3 at #2

[@Wladislav]

I started with 2 pairs of the 990 v3 Marblehead. Didn't like them much, event the build quality wasn't all that (Made in USA NB are vastly overrated if you ask me), so I returned them and ended up with the v3 Amethyst and v2 Sea Salt. I'm happy with my choices.

[@waltvancourt5052]

#2 to 5, 3 to 2 and 5 to 3 Otherwise, mostly agree.

[@ortistmusic]

I watched just to make sure that you'd place the 990v3 Marblehead in 1st position (I just received my pair today and would have been personally offended if you didn't 😅)

[@liluzivert6398]

basically hype shoes are 1 the rest arnt cuz they aint hype ?

[@SeanGo]

Nah hyped because they’re the best lol, not the other way around 🤣

[@Revelation1316]

Men wear stoic colours, Brah.

@@SeanGo 😷🤧🤡

[@WayneLiu945]

990v2 generally just not as good as v3 no matter the colorways IMO
