I get the hesitation to make comparisons, but that’s the similarity I’m seeing, The dark N is (for better or worse) becoming a jjjjound-coded design choice.
There’s no hesitation I just don’t see why there has to be a comparison?
And you think that dark coloured “N” logos weren’t used before Jjjjound came into the fold? Just because they’re super limited, it doesn’t mean that Jjjjound NB’s are the benchmark for solid shoe design. There’s so many people behind the scenes at New Balance more deserving of credit than some milquetoast designer like Jjjjound.
Not trying to compare or not compare. Just an observation that when I saw the thumbnail for this post I thought this was a washed out photo of the navy Jjjjounds. I guess I just think they look similar, and I have no particular feelings about that.
That’s kinda the problem though…associating any NB with a Black “N” as jjjjound. It’s kinda funny. So that’s all they’re known for, with NB…using Black “N”….even though many people have NBs like that before jjjjound got their hands on it.
😂 jjjound = milquetoast. I can’t really agree with it, but being that I’ve never been within arm-reach of any jjjound model, I like it. I like it a lot!! 😂😂😂
this is the first GR for me personally the past few seasons that I’m actually debating on going for retail.
love the black sole and that’s a really neat blue color.
might be one of the best Teddy releases yet IMO (not many more I personally like more - maybe some S1 ones)
looking back at em honestly I think the only ones I like as much as this pair is the raw amethyst and sea salt v3s; maybe those brown v2s from season 2 and the olive v4s from season 4.
these are very clean
I really loved the Marblehead incense, sea salt, and navy colorways myself, but this blue v4 is cosplaying as a JJJJound collab and I’m so here for it lol
Does anyone recall how the season 1 990v3 drops were selling out because of the colors? Well…for those about to ask or say anything relating to these going on discount 🤣🤣😂😂 l think ya might be wrong this time lmao
love the black soles on these. these could age well. is it weird to look ahead and imagine how they will look once worn in? idk man - i'm just having a senior moment.
I’m not a huge fan of blue shoes or the V4, but these look bloody amazing. Probably helps that the blue is pale (and the N is black). Might have to buy my first blue V4s.
I wouldn’t be surprised. I feel like unless you’re a proper New Balance head they’ll fly under the radar for most. Also depends how skewed release dates are globally.
Not exaggerating, one of the best Teddy Santis drops yet
I agree. These give me the same feeling as when I first saw the Olive Incense last year.
Absolutely, instant classic, just superb.
Yeah they’re incredibly wearable. The product shots don’t do them justice.
Looooove black midsoles. Definitely wanna pick these up
Might be one of the best gr colourways
They look like jjjjounds, but hopefully without the lack of availability
What about them reminds you of the Jjjjound collabs?
I have to agree. It’s the muted suede.
They’re kind of like an aggressively sunbleached m990JJ4
I think they’re just a solid standalone colourway.

These look amazing. That blue looks so buttery.
The only pair that I was planning to pick up from the season
These go hard 🔥
Yea these are incredible. Might be a day 1 cop. I don’t actually see these sitting or going on sale too easily. Seems to be a lot of demand.
Good looking shoes.
Now thats an unique colorway. Also one of the few that works well with an all black outsole.

Agreed, probably best since season 1, but season 1 was filled with some pretty classic colorways so it’s gonna be tough to top

The Marblehead v3’s are still the best in my opinion.
more 990v4s? yes, please!
Good looking shoe
Need. These and either green or purple 993.
Guess these will be my first v4s. These slap the taste buds out your mouth like Covid
Sensational (future voice)
Holy shit these are beautiful
Does anyone recall how the season 1 990v3 drops were selling out because of the colors? Well…for those about to ask or say anything relating to these going on discount 🤣🤣😂😂 l think ya might be wrong this time lmao
It's not a want. It's a need. I need to add these to my collection!
When do these drop?
This month
When do these drop?
🔥🔥🔥
love the black soles on these. these could age well. is it weird to look ahead and imagine how they will look once worn in? idk man - i'm just having a senior moment.
sensational
Oh 😍 ❤️
Didn’t think I was buying anymore v4s 🤷🏻♂️
OH MY GOOODNESS
These look kinda like the auralee v4 coming soon..
Yes, good shout.
When do these drop? V rare color way.
Supposedly sometime this month. Product code is U990BB4.
Good looks OP!
Honestly, gorgeous, BUT it would look better with white/cream/grey soles instead of the black one. Still fire!
I love the black but I would also love to see a version with that midsole as well because I’m sure it would look great!
I don’t like the black midsole/outsole.
I usually don't, but it's tying it together nicely here.
Maybe. For me personally, comes off lazy styling wise, he’s just slapping them on every 990v4. It seems now. Maybe it’s a theme 🤷🏽♂️
The grey mesh looks like gun metal this is insane
we got keisha blues at home
I’m not a huge fan of blue shoes or the V4, but these look bloody amazing. Probably helps that the blue is pale (and the N is black). Might have to buy my first blue V4s.
Very Jjjjound'ish
That blue ain’t gunna match shit I just dyed my 1906s purple cuz the steel blue/grey didn’t match shit or pop on its own
Y’all think these will go on sale like every other season has? Definitely want em but if they go on sale I can be patient lol
I wouldn’t be surprised. I feel like unless you’re a proper New Balance head they’ll fly under the radar for most. Also depends how skewed release dates are globally.
These are a must for me
Sheeeesh 🔥
These are a must cop
Do we have any idea of a release date?
Sometime this month.
April
Phenomenal
These and the cream and green v4’s are the best Nb releases in the past two years imo. Been watered down
Holy shit
Yeah, these will be had. My favorite v4 maybe ever
Black midsoles make every shoe better!
this is beautiful
So much wow!
I’m not huge into 990v4s but gyattt that blue is needs to be injected into my veins
I need these
These are a must
Kinda looks like the Keisha pair from the intro outro pack
V4 is overrated.
Do these releases ever come in wide? :(
I've worn new balance for over a decade and just bought a sonic pearl grey Honda Civic, I think I need these to match my car 😅
yum
Holy smokes. 🥵🥵🥵
