New Balance 991 V2 (Vintage Sport) "Off White": Review & On-Feet
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'm back reviewing another general release New Balance 991 V2! This one is labelled as "Vintage Sport" in an "Off White" colourway, but notably it incorporates hits of red and blue, along with a beautiful gum rubber outsole. Check out my review of this Made In England beauty and let me know if you are eyeing this pair for your collection!

Love em! Super clean and very elegant colorway . My pair it’s been sitting in my closet for couple of weeks but Ima wear mine tomorrow
Thank you for reviewing them…I wore mine today
Was waiting for you review!!! thanks Sean! I was waiting for someone to compare it to the Nimbus colorway!
I got them in today. Fire. I swapped to the white laces as well.
From the first moment I saw the promo pics, I knew I would cave. Gonna be my summer staple. Hoping to hold off on any other pairs this year due to snagging both these and the turbulence pair - getting too expensive!
Any shoe I’ve ever looked up, even more obscure ones, there you are with the on foot. DAMMIT SEAN YOURE A SHOE GOD

Loving this colorway. Such a classic look.
This pair is so tempting🔥🔥🔥
This will be my fifth 991v2. Great work as always Sean! Do you have any early front runners for the SOTY?

Great summer shoe!
NB is killing it with the 991v2, I finally copped the Silver Blue Turbulence pair and well worth every cent for quality materials NB always offers, and that gum rubber 👌🏽! Will definitely be looking for a pair of these, just couldn’t get my hands on them on release day. Looking for a 9.5 if anyone knows where to cop…. Excellent review Sean✌🏽

It's a decent update on design, but the toe box is way too narrow and it's overpriced for no obvious reason. I've said it before, but they need 2E options.

Eager to try the v2 and would like the Turbulence to be my first. Anyone know if they’re coming to Canada? Ain’t paying higher than retail.
These are nice but I already got the Nimbus pair and I like those better. These would be dope for 4th of July tho
ohhhh another good lookin colorway 👍🏻

Gorgeous sneaker. Just wish the toebox wasn’t so narrow.
These are swaggy kid
IDKW but this reminds me of when I got my first pair of Reebok Classics.
These are dope! Would really like to see more rubber gum soles on this silhouette and a 2E option for wider footers.
Missed out on the gel lyte 3’s 🇰🇷 and copped these instead 🔥🔥 Apparently its a Kith exclusive but NB announced a wider date later this month.

No , its not exclusive in solestop sell them , and another stores around Europe, hope don't, sold out to soon.
991 v2 gr's could hang with some of the more hyped collabs out there. are you keeping them?
Hey Sean ! if you can only have one pair of new balance what would it be. Planning to buy a new balance but the array of selection confuses me.
Great review, love watching your vids! As far as sizing goes, what size would you recommend for the 991v2 models? I have 993's and a pair of 9060's, all which are size 10 (TTS is 10.5 for me). Would you recommend sticking to .5 down like other models?
@shatdood
25 күн бұрын
I would only half size down if you have narrow feet. They are long like 998s but more narrow than other MiUSA models. I'm half size up in these from my 993 (which I go half size down from my TTS in 993)

Feel free to report back. I am considering ordering a pair, but I'm still on the fence. I could always order and return.
I have the nimbus pair but the gum bottom has me on the fence
I was able to snag a pair early on, (10.5) love them!
what a clean pair man, you have the best NB collection now.
Always love your reviews. Do you prefer these over the nimbus cloud? I ask because the nimbus cloud seems a lot cleaner for obvious reasons. Thanks!

Gorgeous pair of sneakers but I just can’t pay $260 retail for a pair of kicks. $200 is already such a stretch. Wish I could swing it because I think they’re beautiful and I’d love them to be my first pair of 991v2.
I love this over nimbus …love the red white & blue
Beautiful shoe, but light colored suede shoes aren’t for me. Got the silver blue turbulence and love them 👌

I want a pair badly, but sadly it’s listed sold out on NB website. I’m hoping a restock is underway. I believe this is a GR, not exclusive or limited release. The only question remains: when will NB restock? 😅 I’d rather not pay resale for this shoe.

Which is better 993 or 991 v2? Can’t decide between both
@leonelbustosb
26 күн бұрын
They are different. 991 is definetely more comfortable. 993 has less drop, and is more bulky than the 991. I have 990v4, 990v6, 993, 2002R and 530 and today I got these 991v2, and I can’t believe I did not had these before. If I could choose only one, I would go for the 991V2

993 is going to be better for slightly wide footers. 991v2 is more sleek, sporty and narrow. Both are great. Historically, I've always worn 993s, but this is cooler for 2024.
These or the New Balance 993 Sea Salt Made in USA? Which do you prefer?

this is one of the best nb colorway ever ever. on the 1500's it looks so so nice. for looks i think the 1500 but its very close and these are gonna be way more comfortable.
$340 CAD retail is so pain.
That price is too high, they need to cut it. Anyway, they sold out quick.

American mentality. Letting people suffer with bad working conditions, bad pays as long as you can get cheap products. I happily pay the price for a good product made by people having good working conditions, with a manufacturing process that is respecting nature and strict laws and rules of a developer country. Go out and get you nikes made by kids

@@leonelbustosbNo, it's more like greedy @$$ corporations charging a 1000% premium. We know these shoes cost maybe $30/pair to manufacture. Edit: NB can still make a stellar profit charging ≤$200. They're just trying to maximize profits while inflation is trendy. It's well known that most brands are arbitrarily increasing their prices just bc they can. They might be paying their workers $2+ per hour, but nothing to justify a $50 uptick in price.

@@zachthewombatI just don't support price gouging. I'm 100% positive NB's bottom line will still be very robust if these sold at $200. In fact, more people might be inclined to buy them at that price point.
Had to buy 4 pairs because the finishing quality is really really bad. Finally picked one that is barely pass my standard and I almost end up not making the purchase…. What is the point of MIUSA or MIE if they don’t come out at least matching made in Asia quality ?
