    Or maybe I just think this cause all my friends who only wore Nikes and Yeezys their entire life all of a sudden wanted to cop new balance after those two models dropped. Literally all my friends first pair of nb was a 992 from two years ago

    also most write ups about new balance history/rise of new balance usually mentions the dmv and it being an early adopter of the 990/nb.

    naw dude Japan been ducking w new balance since I was posting on niketalk in the early 2000s I don’t remember Korea x nb even being a thing back then

    all those mita nb collabs n s***

    NB themselves said that their highest profit areas from time are the DMV and SK

    but the current nb hype in my opinion is 100% because of hypebeast discovering 992 and then ald doing a 550.

    This is facts though

    Damn I gotta do some research too because I always heard Korea was the next step down from the DMV in terms of the amount of love NB got including the length of time

    Wish I could just hit HQ in Boston to ask but really to get plugged

    I just read an article and it said nb hype in Korea started in 2009/2010 because a couple Korean celebs wore it + Steve Jobs hype

    japan has had nb collabs since early 2000s and had exclusive colorways since the late 90s

    this kinda true too as lame as kith is it was def ahead of the curve and were pushing nb and asics early

    Cncpts collabs too (those 997s they did better than any Ronnie collab from that era)

    gel lyte 3 era was cursed tbh

  • Apr 30, 2022

    can anyone help me out regarding the sizing of the 990V5. I thought finally found a pair in my size just to find out that it’s the womens version. Seller sent me a pick of the insole length(26cm) which should fit however it’s a size 9 with B width. Is that a problem or can a man wear these too?
