I'm thinking about getting a pair of v6s in this colourway. Love those swede patches. Has anyone put a few miles on a pair of v6s yet?
I also am curious about this as my V5’s will need to be replaced this year
r/newbalance consensus was that they're more comfortable than the v6s
V3 supremacy
any thoughts on which MiUS/UK to pick up? kith 998 / 990v2 40th / 577 flimy legend
ill also take any personal faves recs
I’m partial to Kith colorways, Ronnie always puts out heat.
I've had a pair for a few months now. They blow all the other NBs I've had outta the water comfort wise
Thought the v5s looked like boring v4s, which were just boring v3s
I loved my v3s
Also loving the return of the 998s
I really enjoy my v6s. Theyre very comfortable. They're a little longer than v5s but in my opinion way more comfortable than any of the previous ones. I love them even though they do look a little more goofy. I have the grey day grey/navy pair.
What’s the consensus on 550s for everyday wear?
They're fine but not as comfy as my 991s
New balance 550 are chill. They’re a meme pair of shoes but everything is a meme so who cares
Hey all! I’m more into boots than sneakers (I have a personal aversion to sneaker culture) but I would like a pair of New Balance that works with a raw denim wardrobe. I feel a bit lost when it comes to models… which have a higher quality/which are more comfortable/which are more expensive due to hype. I kind of want to avoid wearing something that’s so overexposed that it won’t age well. Does anyone have any recs?
Right now, I’m looking at the 998 purple model, the 574 in beige, the 996, and the made in UK 576
2002Rs are a good alternative to a lot of the 900-series. 574s in grey are pretty safe. Rainier's are just now coming up.
Many of the shoes on the 99X series are made in the USA or UK which is why they might be more expensive, and not due to hype. I actually am using 996s and 998s s as my dailies. I feel the former is more versatile because it’s less chunky but also not slim. Which color way of the 996 are you liking into?
I was almost into the 998 purples as it’s my favorite color, but otherwise I was interested in beige as that seems to fit most of my outfits. I didn’t really want to own a ton of sneakers, I just wanted one good one when I want to take a break from boots and my Shoes Like Pottery.
I ended up snagging a pair of Junya Wantanabe 574s in beige as I liked the color quite a bit, and I assume that some of those collabs are going to have some more attention to detail. The overall design looks less trendy too.
Thanks! I did get the 574 in beige from Junya. I think they’ll go with most outfits I have!
grey made in the UK 991s are probably my most worn sneaks
along with parchment chuck 70s
Wore these today, U574LGBB
Questioning my sanity at how much I’m surprisingly liking these (???)
At first I wanted these ironically and now I just want them because they look so comfortable
I’ve got two pairs of NBs I’m really fond of. My RC1300s:
And 57/40s:
I also have the ALD 1300s but have a hard time finding fits they work well with. Wish I got the greens 🤷♂️
They’re comfy as hell but idk what to wear them with
Are the V6's about the same width as the V5's?
I wear the niobium’s so much I had to stitch them back up. NB mules are surprisingly wearable
What 574s are these?
574 Legacy in Navy Angora
🙏
990v4 or 990v6 Grey Days? Have both sitting at a local shop
This is the most recent grey day? I almost got both but stuck with the v6s. I think the v4s are easier to style but the v6s are tanks and are way more comfortable
Tbh i like the look of the v4s more bc the suede is super hairy and im such a sucker for hairy suede
But i dont regret my choice of going with the v6s

Quick question. I got my Junya 574s in size 9 and it was perfect. I’m eyeing some 998s but not sure if I should go 8.5 or 9
I’m sensing 8.5
I have these, great quality and age well
I wear 11.5 in most NB but have to go up to 12 for 574s. I’d say go 8.5 in your case
Thanks! That’s what I did
TS Marblehead 990v2
Not sure how others feel about the v2s but they were mad uncomfortable for me. I had to swap out the insoles because it felt like walking on bricks.
i am mad tempted by the pink/purple 990v2s (very on sale if anyone wants to cop) https://www.hanon-shop.com/products/new-balance-m990py2

Carhartt WIP x New Balance MADE in USA 990v6 drops friday, $220 usd. instant cop if you ask me
Fingers crossed their QC isn’t atrocious on these
Someone posted concepts 998s with varying heights a couple of weeks back
do you remember where that was posted?
I think the original was off reddit
that's crazy. kinda wanted to see to compare with my pair of 998s (from the last grey day thing). mine seem pretty even
I’d say the above is an extreme case but I’ve definitely felt a slip in consistency with recent releases. I’ve had to return quite a few since the bodega 990v3 because of major glue stains, missing laces, etc
I will say my 998s were thankfully not too crazy. Slightly off N logo maybe but nothing like the pic above
By the way anyone have 576’s and can comment on sizing?
these are gorgeous
here are the 3 pairs i currently own. all super comfortable and wearable with most of my wardrobe, i’m definitely looking to expand the collection. -white and blue USA 990s -grey 574 -black and white USA 997s. will certainly limit my future pairs to made in USA or UK, i can tell the difference in quality and the higher price is worth it to me. Though i did score the black and white 997s on Ebay for sub $100
every single size sold out at 11am EST on the dot on the carhartt, nb, and packer websites. unreal
The Apartment 576s look incredibly clean. These would’ve gone crazy when ALD was popping off

Some NICE Fresh Foams
Gonna guess the mesh is replaced with denim? Imo pretty weak compared to older iterations
I really like the colourblocking
Bottom colorway is nice I agree. I’m probably more biased against 580s
Wish they’d do 1300s again
The top one has a pretty similar vibe to the Bodega 577 Hyprcat and 997s collaborations, which are alltimers imo https://www.complex.com/sneakers/a/mike-destefano/stories-behind-bodega-sneaker-collaborations
The 577 is fantastic
do we have a preference between these 3 very similar v6 models? mostly do workwear in the winter & baggies + tshirt gorpcore in the summer.
on that note the second pic is ALD's first drop of summer v6s: https://www.aimeleondore.com/products/new-balance-made-in-usa-990v6
What color pants do you mostly wear?
I personally like the sepia/tan best out of the 3
for gorpcore, get the first pair and swap the laces to black :ez:
I love this 610 but $180 is a bit much when the standard 610s can be found for like 60 bucks:

and worst prices, unfortunately
Wanted the GR cream ones when they came out but didn’t end up pulling the trigger.
Kinda like the ALD colour blocking better despite basically looking like a GR.
The first ones are growing on me. I’d probably go with these over the other two for day to day wear.
Out of all the pairs of NBs I’ve owned and still have, this colorway of the 574 is always the most worn.
