NEW BALANCE 990v6 Review & On Feet

It does come with a extra pair of laces. Mine package came with a box with grey laces.

Disappointed about the price increase but then again the 990v5 is the longest set of shoes I’ve ever owned and have hundreds of miles on them.

They got 3-4 miles a day minimum (often 10+) for 4 years. I went through a few insoles but the shoes are solid. Physically they still are they just squeak now and that’s where I draw the line.

Received a pair today. They're so nice!!

I just got the Action Bronson 990v6 and I’m hooked I wore them everyday last week, first time in a long time I actually wore the same shoe all week, I put on my Jordan 4s after that. Walked around for like 5min, and said no way took them right off. Threw the NBs on. It’s insane how uncomfortable Jordan’s are.

The V6 is awful. New Balance ruined the shoe for me. My feet hurt so badly in them. My feet roll out in them and put top much pressure on the edge of my feet. My hips and back then start to hurt. Why did they have to change the stability? I miss a new pair of 990 V5.

Which pants you had on in the beginning?

FYI you should have got a second pair of grey laces

I got these on holiday to greece! I wanted them for a while and they are sooooooo tasteful and high class

Ассалом Алейкум 43 размер отправлайте пожалуйста

There should be american flag on center of the back.

For any late watchers. Dont go true to your size on 990v3s or 2002s...they are a deffo half size up. Im an 11 in those and bought an 11 in the v6. The toe box is tighter and the NB patch between the bottom lace is quite rigid meaning there is less room across the top of your toes and you are squished in. Its a shame as they are actually longer than the 999v3s etc, and its their design that is amazing. Definitely need to try them on with the thickest pair of socks you own that you wear all the time. Then you will be the judge

Mine came with an extra grey laces...

Just copped for 160 out of the door 🚪 😅

It’s a given fact that most Americans wear shoes that are too small for them. I’ve never once complained about a shoe that was slightly larger than my “true size.” I measure a 10.5, which is what most (but not all) of my dress shoes are. In running shoes I typically always go at least a full size larger, sometimes half a size. The 990v6’s I got in size 11 2E. I agree they are a bit long, but we are talking about 1/8 of an inch between the 10.5 and the 11. My advice is to always go with the larger size if your fall in between sizes. I enjoyed your video bro!

Looks like a grandad shoe

Mine came with both white and gray laces

Anyone can compare those to 991?

Heel slippage?

A lot of us don’t have a new balance store around us that’s why were watching the video … I went TTS , we’ll see how it goes

Help guys. I have a pair of 997h size US 8.5 - 26,5 cm. What size should i buy for the 990 v6 ??thanks 👍👍👍👍

After losing out on this mornings Baklava's (no shock personally) I really do need to just grab a V6 period. I'm personally becoming a slight NB fan also after finding a pair of 992 Greys and 2002r OG Dark Grey at the Platos near me last month. My God, they are comfortable! So..I admit, I haven't tried V3s...V4s, 5 or 6 yet. But I do expect these to be just as-or perhaps even more comfortable. And you are correct, the quality of these are very impressive!

I just bought a pair (gray) and they came with an extra pair of gray laces.

Just grabbed these yesterday after owning the V5’s for a year and falling in love with newbies. The V6 is just soooo good looking on feet and looks so nice with athletic wear and pops a little more against a simple fit: absolutely love them

What are the brown pants tho?

Just purchased a pair of V6"s from the New Balance site and they did say to try a 1/2 size down and got a perfect fit. I have a wide foot and the X-Wide is perfect. Still have my V5's that have held up well. Good Review.

CHAMPS carries them in-store as well as V5.

I went down half a size & I feel with wear it’s stretched out & fits bigger

The V6 does not fit like the V3/4/5. It is longer, and narrower, in the toe box. Very noticeable. Try on if you can, but, personally, I had to go down a 1/2 size and wide. 2cents. Cheers

Thnx for the review. I am a size 11 and typically wear Pegasus and ultraboost 1.0 and go half size up. That being said, should I go half size up w/ these bad boys?

Finally got a pair. They're super comfortable and it's really a jack of all trades shoe. I've been wearing Ultraboosts for casual walking for the past 3 years and they've always felt a little too light and unstable. The 990v6 has similar comfort but feels much more balanced and solid. They do fit a bit narrow and there's a small gap at the tip but if I sized down it would feel way too narrow. I rather be a little long than have pain from being squeezed. I went TTS. And these look even better in the sun!

Just a huge thanks cannot wait for the new ones coming our way ...never fails to impress

is the 990v6 and 2002r has same sizing or fitting? thank you so much

Buy made in the USA 🇺🇸

Love my 990 v1's, 990v6 on order.

So glad I tried these on in-store
I'm a true size 10 in nike and jordans. I ended up with a 9.5 wide in the 990v6. I never would have thought I had a wide foot but the rep helping me could tell before I even put my foot in the shoe. If buying online i would have just went a half size down so glad i went in to try em on.
To summarize: these run long and narrow.

I've had tons of 880's and 574 that I get in 11.5 but my 993's are 11. Not sure what size I need

"Which is crazy"

Great review Seth! I'm moving away from my Nikes and Adidas and looking at NB. The U.S.A. made 990v6s really caught my eye and your review was super helpful!

I need a direct comparison between these and the 993🔥 one of those will be my first NB

What pants are these?

Trendy or not, they are the most comfortable, well made sneakers you can get.

I was hesitant on getting the 990v6s but when they came in shipment from my job I just ended up pulling the plug on em. I love them joints lol, but you said yours didn’t come with extra set of laces, but mines came with an extra set of grey laces. That’s weird. But love the vid bro. Keep going.

when you compare these to the 990 v5's it's like night and day how different they are, they look much more like the 990 v3 which are my favorite, so I think these will be my new favorite

I got the 2002r and they are the most comfortable shoes I have. I’m thinking about these next. They look very comfortable

dude can talk...keep on keepin on...very thorough video

Coming from the 1080 v12 and Rebel v3, I pulled the trigger on the 990v6. I love the premium materials, but I was disappointed that the comfort people rave about is not what I was expecting. For me the comfort is comparable to other iconic dad shoes. Can anyone recommend insoles to make it more comfortable, and reduce or prevent lower back pains for a long day of walking at work?

Nobody has done a video comparing these to the hyped 993 but they are the exact same price so it’s a tough choice. I ended up going with these and eager for them to arrive.

Just grabbed a pair!! Would love to see some Big guy colorway love!! Getting tired of just gray and black in the XXwide variants!!

Compared to ultraboost sizing?
