Here are a few of my initial thoughts after unboxing this New Balance 990v5 “Classic Grey”. A full written review of this shoe will be posted after I’ve had more time to analyze the shoe.

• This is my third pair of 990vs and the pair that planning to get the most wear out of. Everything about this shoes says “wear me”.

• As expected, the quality of the materials and the construction of this shoe are creme-de-la-creme and the gold standard of athletic footwear in my opinion. The suede and mesh not only look and feel good, but are also functional and provide a nice breathable ride.

• Straight out of the box, these have got to be the most comfortable shoe that I’ve ever owned. Most other shoes require a few wears to break-in, however, these are good to go immediately.

• When it comes to sizing, the 990v5 runs a little long compared to other sneakers, so I suggest most people go down a half-size for a more secure fit.

Where To Buy:

This is a shoe that is readily available at most major retailers both in-store and online. Here are a few stores that will have them available in a full-size run and possibly even below retail:

• New Balance

• YCMC

• Footlocker

• East Dane

• Jimmy Jazz
