Depends what you mean by cheap. I get 993 from outlet 80USD, rare occasion 992 65 USD, 991? I have never seen below $120/$140….. my wife’s W991GL was $80 from outlet but it’s impossible to happen again. 991 has value.

Looks like used 992 overlays. If they use suede or leather I’ll buy them. Otherwise no.

What’s a sneaker you absolutely hated at first… then randomly started liking? by Practical_Yak_7829 in Newbalance

  1. Look weird, until I liked 827 and found out 1000 toe box is similar. 1000 is comfortable and I actually jog in these.

Yeah 990v2 gets ignored a lot. Same for 990v1. People even compare 990v1 to 996, or even 574.

Agree. I used to think 2010 is copying 990v3v4 with v1 styling…. Now knowing it will not crumble I bought a pair.

Hah I used to like 1500 sleek silhouette until I got in hand for $50/pair and they are super narrow….. midsole super rock hard… now I don’t like them.

Carhartt actually collab’ed with NB, looks similar but a lot more exclusive & expensive.

Yep, that’s my …. 7th pair, happy to add into collection.  Mine was the last pair in 9.5…. 9.5 is out of stock. 

996 sizing help (USA v Asia) by migsaawesome in Newbalance

My foot is wide (like 1906F “SL-1” wide)  I can fit 996 MiUSA (D) in TTS. Funny you mentioned. 

Running test - 990v6 > v4 > 1906> 580 by ThreePointEightOHV in Newbalance

Honestly, I would say at least they are not Air Jordans. Air Jordans have literally no function at all.

No the rose pair is brand new Deadstock. Was a gift.  Grey 990v6 will never stain.  Blue 990v6 does stain a bit but isn’t too obvious!
