I think if you're not nostaligic just get a pair of Hokas - you can have better comfort color or not and have a better price.

If you're going super Chinese dad core/ norm / 90s boy maybe it has a role for you. Like the style and its suiting the new 90s mom jeans style right now.

A while. I haven't had 990's, but I had a pair of 574's that I wore from 2014-2020. I worked out in them 4-5 times a week including treadmill and wore them pretty much every day when it was cold outside. So, I would guess 990's last similarly as long

I bought a pair of 990v5 and they’re my favorite shoe that I own but the 990v4 Jupiter is extremely kino. I should just sack up and grab a pair because they’re pretty cheap but I own too many shoes.

I like both the v4 and v5 but I feel like the v5 is where NB decided to lean into the “dad shoe” thing which ironically resulted in a sleeker silhouette. Still extremely based and I’m glad NB made a wallop on the trend and tricked a whole bunch of hypebeasts and dumb instagram broads into shilling a sneaker that cost $180 because of the materials and place of manufacture instead of pure hype.

Dad shoes. I don’t care if they try to rebrand. I don’t care is they pay up and coming young hip hop dudes to wear their hoodies in music videos. They will always be ugly dad shoes. Uncool as they come. When I think of new balance shoes, I think of all white with blue trim new balances with green grass stains all over them. The fact that the entire not or world has been bamboozled into accepting them only shows how tragically uncool and unoriginal non-thinking retards most people are.
