Why the 991v2 is my Favorite New balance right now (And Why you need it)

I give a quick rundown as to why the new balance 991v2 is. my favorite new balance sneaker right now.

[@Bassistking]

The 991v2 is just amazing, and probably my favorite NB right now. I bought the navy pair the moment it came out and man I don’t regret it not one bit. Also fitted them with black laces from a pair of 991v1 I own and it just gives such a clean and professional look that the included gray and navy laces just don’t deliver. If I had the black ones, I’d totally put the navy laces on it to match the Abzorb SBS pods. Anyways I’m rambling but nice collection, man. You’ve earned a subscriber in me today.

[@samdopkosky]

I can imagine how good the navy would look with black laces! I really appreciate your sub and support

[@usuck233]

Haven’t come around to the 991v2 since I’m still working through the 990s but this video is making it grow on me

[@samdopkosky]

That’s how I was, I was strictly a 990 guy and then I made a leap to the 991v2 and it was life changing lol

[@MarcSerrano87]

Try them. I can’t imagine there being more comfortable all-day/everyday sneaker

[@Justin-kn6dp]

Very nice shoes, but personally I find them a bit heavy, especially compared to 990s. They're really ideal for lifestyle use or on feet for long hours and have amazing comfort and support, but if I know I'll be walking a lot I'd sooner wear a 990 model for the weight savings. The 991s seem super durable though, probably take a very long time to wear them out.

[@sonictheory]

Damn bruh…I’ve been holding on from pulling the trigger. You’re a bad influence 😂😂😂

[@DankPlankSam]

I got these a month ago and they’re currently my favourite shoes to wear!

[@sonictheory]

Finally pulled the trigger on the Magnet V1. Damn it’s narrow even though I took my usual size. Is it the same for the V2s?

[@jericperey3285]

The thing about 991v2 is its sleek design. If you are a sneakerhead you would just simply appreciate its beauty especially on the side view. Now there is the comfort factor. Combine them and they are an almost perfect shoe. I thought I like the 992 before but I like 991v2 more now.😂😊

[@samdopkosky]

It really is the perfect shoe! I need to grab a pair of 992s to do a comparison!

[@BertoBeats]

I really gotta pick up a V2. Been waiting for a colorway that knocks my socks off to pull the trigger cause I've got a lot of normal grey NB and I know this silhouette has so much potential for other colorways. It's really exceptional.

[@samdopkosky]

I 10000% agree with you that this shoe has a ton of potential for colorways. I’m really excited to see what they come up with. They royal blue colorway looks really good for the 991v2, it should come out soon

[@Eyeball08]

Convinced me. Bought the restock on NB. Gonna be my "go to" pair for the summer.

[@samdopkosky]

Im glad you got a pair, enjoy them!!

[@eiyrie2990]

Im about to get my first 991v1. I keep hearing the sizes on these are hit or miss. But just a quick tip, i think if u put like low "elevator" music while you are talking in your vids , it would make the videos flow even better. Elliot the shoe guy does a crazy job at doing it

[@samdopkosky]

I’ll have to try that out! Thanks for the tip!

[@humphrey6630]

Hey Sam, what do you think about the 991v2 in light grey? I found a pair online in Europe where i live and I can't wait for them to come! So stoked!

[@samdopkosky]

They are the perfect everyday lifestyle sneaker especially in that color way! I hope you enjoy them!

[@B-Rad]

Been eyeing the Navy pair for a month, at first thought it was plain but it grew on me to the point that will be my first 991v2. That's not until I seen the upcoming blue/silver pair releasing next month. Those look 🔥 Have you seen them?

[@samdopkosky]

Navy new balances are so classic. The all royal blue 991 is absolutely stunning, I cannot wait until they come out!

[@B-Rad]

@@samdopkosky have you seen style# U991 SG2 ? 😮‍💨 Royals are nice

[@TGCid01]

Really hoping to catch the navy or black v2s on sale somewhere, 250 retail hurts. I've spent way too much on sneakers in the past 10 months to justify $250 on them

[@samdopkosky]

Yeah the $250 retail really hurts the pockets lol

[@arthurman6129]

I think everything on this sneaker is perfect except the font style of the “V2” in the back. I wish it was just a simple New Balance logo or V2 in a different font style

[@Primetime65]

Nah the v2 font looks cool

[@manny9025]

Picked up the black pair & cant wait to get them. My first pair of 991’s. Really wanted the stone island collab. but didnt hit in those. Depending on how i like these black 991s when i get them, i just might bite the bullet and get the stone islands even though resell be annoying

[@samdopkosky]

The stone island 991s are so clean. I have gotten past the rage when it comes to paying resell for collab NBs, if I want it bad enough I just buy it lol which is not financially responsible

[@jw6417]

Do you own any of the Gortex NB’s for rainy days, if so would be good to see something on these. If not, no worries, great content

[@samdopkosky]

I don’t own a pair of gortex nbs yet but they are on my list! As soon as I grab a pair I’ll do a review

[@jw6417]

@@samdopkosky In my opinion you do the best reviews and helped me purchase my first pair of NBs 990v6 in grey :) ….. just purchased the 2002R jjjjound Gortex in pine for the wet and rainy days and can’t wait for them to arrive

[@sunildaniel1838]

@@samdopkoskyI recently bought a pair of NB JJJJound 2002r gortex in the Charcoal colorway; it’s a brilliant winter sneaker

[@therapygrind]

I doubt you're older than when this line came out, Steve Jobs loved of New Balance sneakers, wore 992 in his last years, but before that, he wore the 991. I went to a yard sale and found a pair of new NB 993 Pink 20th Anniversary Susan C. Komen Breast Cancer shoes, woman's but they fit & I bought them for $20, but these were made in the U.S.A., did not mind the pink color. The 991 is probably the #1 shoe advised by orthopedist to this day.

[@samdopkosky]

I have seen a ton of pictures of Steve Jobs rocking the grey 992 with the jeans and black turtle neck, classic. That's an insane find at a garage sale and for only $20. I can see why orthopedist would recommend the 991, it has everything!

[@carlosluna-oh4tl]

Can’t wait for the all blue and all orange/mustard colour that’s coming soon on these

[@samdopkosky]

I cannot wait for these either, hopefully they keep pumping out general releases for the 991v2

[@F22dtmer]

I own both the v1 and v2. Maybe it’s just me, I felt the v1 was more comfortable. The toe box in the v2 is too narrow. For reference I own an 11.5 in both versions.

[@samdopkosky]

I might have to grab a pair of the v1s to compare the two

[@F22dtmer]

@@samdopkosky great reason for some NB’s my guy 😎

[@GOJT]

How about the size? go up for down?

[@samdopkosky]

I would go true to size or a half size up. I made a video on this if you want to check it out!

[@Charles-kc2vt]

I would pick it up but there's no 4E 😢

[@samdopkosky]

We gotta get new balance to make a pair just for you

[@FartsFromApplz]

Grey pairs just restocked

[@samdopkosky]

You’re a goat for telling me

[@callmemrdee]

Bro. Stop. I can’t buy another pair of NB ahahaah

[@samdopkosky]

🤣🤣

[@Matdg]

Should I get a half size down like in the 990 v6 for these ? Love this sneaker man. I'm waiting to receive my 990 and see how they fit me but you got me all juiced up for this model already. Damn 😅

[@samdopkosky]

For these I would go true to size. The 991v2 and the 990v6 is the best duo right now! You need them both 🤣

[@Matdg]

@@samdopkosky alright alright I'll cop them in the summer 😂🤩💪

[@assexpected7]

Waiting on the royal blue for my first pair

[@samdopkosky]

Those are so clean, a must have sneaker
