Teddy Santis x New Balance 990 V1 (M990TA1) "Marblehead / Incense": Review & On-Feet

After being named last year as New Balance Made In USA's Creative Director, Teddy Santis (of Aime Leon Dore) dropped his first collection late last month. Today I'm reviewing the underrated 990 V1 in the "Marblehead / Incense" colourway. Let me know what you think of these and if you grabbed a pair of them too!

V1’s are my pick simply for versatility of the silhouette, easier to work into most fits than a more technical model like the V3

[@mobilemonster7681]

Levi's 511's and a looser fitting t-shirt/graphic tee are an easy fit for v3-v5 IMO.

[@808kicks2]

Totally agree

[@johnaomercado]

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. V1 baby!!!

[@willt.9654]

They look so clean with those wool trousers. Love this silhouette

[@RobertSStein]

Got these on feet right now. Always gets compliments.

[@DeanAlmonte]

I'm picking up the V1s. I have a few NBs, but not the OG Retro 990. Thanks for the review

[@georgecallacna621]

Got the V3s. Really considering picking up the V1s tho too

[@devsmith3757]

V2 ,3 ,1 v2s just look dope diff structure they stand out from the pack

[@daddac]

Thanks for sharing the detailed sizing info!

[@jhoeysanga2290]

1st 🙋🏻‍♂️ I’m so into NB’s and got lucky to cop V2! Best sneaker channel! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@SeanGo]

Thanks!

[@samlee458]

colors and the materials are so good on this pack 👌🏻 🔥

[@SeanGo]

Yessir!

[@jellagonilla1927]

Hi, I need sizing help on these. If you have Jordan 1 lows, what size do you get them in?

[@senior_burrito2957]

great vid

[@SeanGo]

Thank you

[@yanchandra1237]

and is v1 fit same as v5 ?

[@eade2445]

I currently have 574. My true size is 44 but i had to swap them for 44,5 and my toe is still too close to the front so i would want 45.. But this one would be more true to size? Whats your opinion

[@SeanGo]

574 fits more snug than 990 V1 in my opinion

[@DoctorMahek]

as you go from V1 to V3, i find you get more comfort in the shoe but it is slightly (ever so) slightly less versatile in terms of silhouette with casual wear. The V3 looks more like a running shoe but that can be the look you're going for. Reference: Have a few V2s, a V3, and 992s etc.

[@SeanGo]

agree

[@andymehers8685]

I picked these up a few weeks back. A rookie move (I know), but a small amount of water managed to spill on them and seem to live on the sneaker as a permanent reminder. Any recommendations for cleaning the suede on the V1s?

[@SeanGo]

Have you tried using a suede brush? Usually that works for water

[@andymehers8685]

@@SeanGo just picked up a suede brush, so will give that a go. Thank you.

[@yanchandra1237]

hi sean, does this fit can break in time after being used couple times ? because i feel so snug in my true to size. maybe because i have a wide feet.

[@nowatergirls]

Have you seen the Kasina air max ones yet? Might by my sneaker if the year

[@SeanGo]

Yeah those look nice!

[@808kicks2]

@@SeanGo we need the review I know you 👮🏾‍♀️

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

Those V2s look pretty freekin nice to me as I dont usually like the V2s. I dont favour the V3s, I dont like that plastic looking N logo I much prefer the V1s.

[@jayroman3627]

V2 V1 then V3 for me

[@muhdhrz1566]

Does it contains pigskin?

[@PatrickSomsana]

So clean. ID on pants though?!

[@SeanGo]

Uniqlo!

[@hansari8697]

All we wanna know is the back portion of the interior of the shoe shattered back board quality? Is SBB quality no longer a thing? LOL

[@connergordon6628]

It’s the weak point of the shoe, it’s a very thin fake leather. The rest of the materials are A+ though.

[@gdasensei144]

One of the niceses sneaks ever

[@Riley022]

👋👋

[@austinrukweza455]

They look like 574s that went to private school

[@ImranKhan-ub4ib]

Let’s be honest it’s another boring grey new balance

[@corecrit3007]

4 you maybe, they have tons of colors…open your eyes

[@user-lr3di2gp7o]

How about heel to toe arch drop do they have it?
