Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

What looks good? They just look incredibly cheap with no R&D input. They seem to be taking huge step backs with quality. Looks like Will paid extra to let Jaden hell out on the design process

Simply from aesthetics, they look good to me. They look better than the v5s. But then again, it's just my own opinion.

998 tts or half size down looking to grab this pair off eBay

I would recommend half size down for 998's

Do they fit like the 997s cause I wear a 9.5 in those but could've went .5 down

Was able to sneak away from our newborns and take a photo of these.

The 997 has a more narrow toebox. I go TTS for 997s personally.

V6 look beautiful. Very in line with the streetwear vibe of Korea or Japan. It makes sense that they go in that direction. I love the sole (coming from a big Hoka fan). The material balance def leans more mesh which I’m ok with. It will be interesting to see the usual suspects play with this model.

Explains the quality. Might as well just move the 990 to being made in China. How do you like the hoka? I heard it’s a great trail running and hiking shoe. How many miles you put in them a year?

I actually got that same pair in a 9.5 (I went with my 997 size) and they were about a half size too big for me. It's tolerable when I wear them, its not like I'm slipping out of them but would have preferred a 9.

slightly confused with your comment. The upcoming v6 are made in USA. If you’re trying to slander made in Japan or korea, know that stuff made there is usually top quality, QC is decent. And made in China doesn’t have those connotations any longer. I’ve seen loads of shoes of decent quality coming out of China. You might get the odd bad apple but that’s true with anywhere.

Can somebody use their bots for me to cop the JJJJound v4’s?

I don’t even see a point in trying to manually cop.

how do these fit? I’m a wide-footer and have never worn the model. just getting back into NB with the ALD 550s and my 11 fits well, but long. the outsole is gorgeous on this pair.

Was about to say this. Unless he’s ignorant enough to think that Made in Japan is the same thing as China.

They look like some alibaba
knockoff attempt at making a fusion model

NB trying to get that Skechers money or the job market for shoe designers is worse than it is for the restaurant industry

Manual is possible since they have a trivia question during the drop.

Yo NB fam sorry if this was asked recently but has any one received shipping updates from ALD on the 550 second chance?? I won and got my initial confirmation email but never got a second email for shipping. I entered/checked out as a guest so I don't have an account I can check the status with.
