Top 10 NEW BALANCE Sneakers for 2023

New Balance has been one of my favorite sneaker brands in recent years and the reason is that they have consistently released comfortable, attractive and good quality shoes, not to mention all the great collaborations they have done over the last few years. Like three or four years and although no new

balance

is not as hyped as brands like Jordan or Nike, they are starting to make their way into the conversation, so in today's video I'm going to count down the top 10

sneakers

NewBalance. for

2023

that you can buy right now, not only am I going to link all of these shoes through the YouTube shopping tab on your screen or in the description below, so moving on to the next section of the video, I don't know what was . that oh oh you guys noticed my backpack.

In fact, I've been using this throughout the entire video. I don't know how they didn't notice. It's crazy. I guess while we're on the subject, I might as well give you a huge thank you. today's video sponsor Soul Premise who, of course, makes amazing bags like these. The reason I love my Soul Premise bag is because this bag is not only a very good looking bag, but it is also very high quality, but it also contains a lot of

sneakers

. In fact, for a small backpack like this there are more sneakers than you might imagine, so let me give you a real quick rundown of what's inside my daily carry, of course, we have my uh, my Tick Tock holder and It's not that he doesn't. tick tocks, it's just that I have in my backpack, next we have my laptop to edit set tick tocks and then in the front of the bag, we have two different pairs of sneakers, of course, two different pairs of New Balances, but Not only that all of the bags at the dedicated facility are TSA approved, meaning you can take them on the plane with you so you don't have to check them under the plane and lose your valuable sneakers in some kind of crazy luggage mix-up that It doesn't seem like it happens much, but it happens more than you think, so if you want to check out the premise of Soul for yourself, be sure to click the link at the top of the description below and use my discount code Seth for 40. off your entire order, but diving right into the list, starting at number 10, we have the New Balance V3 two-way, so New Balance over the last two years has made a comeback into the performance basketball shoe market, a market that they had left a couple of decades ago but decided to re-enter and they did so with the Splash, in fact they signed one of the best basketball players in the world, Kawhi Leonard, the year he won a championship and the good news is that since then I have been releasing consistently solid performing basketball shoes.

I always find it strange when established basketball brands release a new basketball shoe and it sucks, like they've been doing this for decades. Why did they release a bad basketball shoe after releasing so many good ones? The good thing about New Balance is that while some of their basketball shoes aren't the best in certain aspects compared to other basketball shoes, there haven't been any stinkers so far, it's crazy to say, but most of the others brands can't tell. that they'll release something amazing and then the next year they'll release something just terrible, it just doesn't make sense to me, but it happens, but getting into this particular shoe is the reason I put on the New Balance V3 two-way.

This list is because this shoe is not only a great performance basketball shoe on the court, but it is also very affordable at only $120. It's a great all-around basketball shoe that features a fuel cell midsole that's relatively soft underfoot, a solid traction pattern, and of course, a molded textile upper and, hey, if the New Balance V3 Two-Way doesn't is exactly your speed, you can opt for the slightly more expensive Kawaii 3, which also performs decently on the court or some of the older models and as a Sixers fan. I have to say that I am very happy with New Balance right now because they just signed Tyrese Maxi, who is one of my favorite basketball players.

It's amazing, so I'm really excited to see what comes out of that partnership, whether it's a signature shoe or he was just wearing New Balances, I don't know, but I'm excited for it all to come to number nine, the New Balance 574, the New Balance 574 is not only one of the brand's most popular sneakers of all time. but it's also incredibly well priced, just $85, this road and trail shoe features an incredibly simple but very versatile and very durable makeup. I mean, I've heard tons of people call this shoe the most New Balance shoe of all time and while yes, I totally get it. that there's a reason why this shoe is as popular as it is, I mean okay yeah the shoe definitely has that dad shoe kind of vibe to it but that's hot right now and this shoe is also very easy to wear due to its simplicity for a relatively inexpensive price, you get a solid sneaker made of good quality materials, especially for 85 dollars, and it comes in many different colors, so no matter what style you are looking for, You can probably find it in a pair of five seven fours below on Number eight is the New Balance 650r.

The 650r is a retro basketball-inspired sneaker that features a high-top and beautifully clean build. There's something about that '80s style of basketball that I love. I love leather high top sneakers from that era and this shoe fits the bill perfectly. It's so perfect that it's nothing crazy, it's not something I would want to play basketball in today, but at the same time I wouldn't want to play basketball or Air Jordan Ones or even Air Jordan 3s today, this shoe is just a clean classic. look that comes in a lot of different colorways and a couple of different awesome collabs and if you're looking for that kind of 80s basketball vibe this is a great shoe to pair with and honestly for 140 bucks you're getting really high quality . sneaker with some decent leather on the upper part of the shoe and it also looks amazing and is very easy to style, so in my opinion the 650r is a solid option if you are looking for a new pair of high top sneakers and of In fact, I should also mention that the shoe is surprisingly comfortable for an '80s-inspired sneaker, it doesn't feature crazy cushioning or anything, but the upper is well cushioned and the midsole is soft enough.

At number seven is the New Balance Fresh Foam x 1080. V12, this shoe is probably if not by far the most comfortable on this list, this shoe is incredibly soft underfoot, obviously the shoe is designed like a sneaker for high-performance running, a high-performance running shoe with maximum cushioning, and that's why you have this huge Fresh Foam. X, but thanks to that midsole you get this incredible cushioning that's accentuated and actually amplified by the really soft knit upper. I hate to say it because I'm a sneakerhead and I have hundreds of pairs of shoes or 100 pairs of shoes, but this is the shoe I probably wear the most.

This is a shoe that I wear almost every day, not only because of how comfortable it is but also because of how versatile it is, you can run in the shoe, you can walk. in the shoe, you can wear it alone for daily lifestyle. It is an almost perfect sports shoe. It may not be as pretty as some of the other shoes on the list. It definitely features that kind of futuristic sock-like aesthetic that some people love, some people hate, but if you're looking for a great everyday shoe that's incredibly comfortable underfoot or even just a cushioned running sneaker Max, this is a great way to go and at $160 it's not cheap, but it's also a lot cheaper than some of the other popular running shoes out there.

I mean, honestly, the sneakers are great. I love it. I can't say enough about these. Actually, it probably should have been higher on the list, but technically this list is not in any specific order. I should have said that earlier in the video, but this list is just sort of the top 10 New Balance sneakers in any order you want, so don't ruin the list if you get to number six: it's the New Balance 550. ... this shoe is probably one of my favorite shoes in my entire collection. I'm looking at my wall of shoes right now and I can't see many shoes that I've worn other than this one aside from, of course, the New Balance 1080 v12s. but other than that, as you can probably see, the New Balance 550 looks very familiar to another shoe we already talked about on the list, the 650r is essentially a high-top version of this shoe, featuring the same midsole and many of the same panels. the upper and again this shoe is inspired by retro basketball shoes from the 80s and that is one of the reasons why I love this shoe so much.

It is a low leather sneaker that is very easy to wear. It comes in many different colors. in some pretty awesome collaborations like this one, the collaboration with ald and not only that but the story behind this shoe is pretty interesting too, the 550 was first released as a performance basketball shoe in 1989, it was in the market for a couple of years and then it was shelved. until 2020 when Teddy Santis the founder of ald decided he wanted to collaborate on the 550 silhouette and pulled the silhouette out of the archives and now in

2023

there are tons of 550s available and tons of different colorways and tons of collaborations different. an incredibly versatile style sneaker that is quite comfortable to walk in and for $110.

I don't know if there's a sneaker I'd rather have on the list for that price, coming in at number five is the New Balance 2002 R originally released in 2010. This high-performance running model quickly became one of the lifestyle models. most popular of the 2020s and I personally think there are many reasons why there were many great collaborations on this shoe; in fact great collaborations continue to appear on the 2002 R and two, it is also a very good looking sneaker for only 140 dollars, the panels on the upper of this shoe are very interesting, not to mention the materials, especially in collaborations like this , they are high quality and in my opinion A1 you also have a very comfortable midsole which is a kind of mix between energy and cushioning absorption and although the R 2002 is not a shoe that I would choose over other running shoes today , it's still an incredibly comfortable lifestyle model that I would wear all the time. and I have a ton of pairs of these so I tend to wear them all the time and you know what would happen if I personally recommended a pair of New Balance 2002rs?

I would recommend Salehi members either the orange color or the amazing wedge shoe. and also the materials are incredible, honestly, an excellent versatile shoe that is very comfortable and very attractive, and speaking of comfort, if you are looking for a comfortable pair of socks, they also look good to combine with your New Balance sneakers. I definitely recommend my Apothecary brand of socks and our new Essentials mid length for months, you guys have been asking us to ditch the Essentials mid length for a mid sock to pair with our ankle socks and our flat socks and we finally have a pair white, gray and black that will always be available and of course if you want to purchase a pair of Apothecary media, they will be available on apothecary.com starting this Friday, Friday the 17th at 11am.

ET and number four is the New Balance 993. The 993 is another New Balance classic, it's one of the newer New Balance classics and honestly it features a very clean and minimalist aesthetic that I love . I mean, okay, I guess I could say the same for many of the New Balance sneakers on today's list and many more. of New Balance shoes in general, but this one in particular is incredibly clean and comfortable, which is amazing. The 993 is part of the legendary and classic 990 line and features very soft cushioning underfoot, as well as a very well cushioned upper that makes it comfortable. to wear all day is actually very similar to the 992, another shoe that I put on previous lists and that could have been on this list, but this year I decided to focus on the 993 because we are getting more collaborations with the 993 than with the 992 and further.

This shoe is made in the USA by New Balance, which means that 70% of the domestic value of this shoe is from the United States and those shoes tend to have slightly better quality because they make you pay a little more for them . The shoe is a 200 sneaker, it is not cheap, but because it is more expensive, it features slightly better materials and the build quality of this shoe is a little better than some of the cheaper New Balance sneakers. I don't know if that's because it'smade in America or if it's because it's more expensive, I guess it's just because it's more expensive, but either way it's a great looking sneaker that uses really solid materials and takes third place: the New Balance 9060.

The 9060 is a new brand. The

balance

silhouette is kind of a combination of some of their older silhouettes and older design styles mixed with some of their more futuristic and newer design styles. I think all of those things come together to create a shoe that is not only unique but also very comfortable and very attractive. I mean, just look at the midsole of the shoe, it's crazy, you don't see many sneakers with a midsole like this, it's very unique, it's very flashy, but it definitely gives the shoe a character that I love, but for me personally, I love it.

What really draws me to this sneaker is the panels on the upper, they're intricate, they're clean, they're not too complicated but they really add a lot of interest to the shoe and even though the 9060 is a lifestyle silhouette, I I love the kind of retro aesthetic of running, I think it's really popular right now in the early 2020s and it's a shoe that is very can be worn with a lot of different outfits and also has a very edgy feel to it and you can buy a combination of Standard '90s and '60s colors right now for the retail price of $150 or you can purchase one of the more limited collaborations like this Bodega. collaboration for a slightly higher retail price, but as you've probably guessed when it comes to collaboration sneakers, these pairs are much harder to find.

Coming in at number two is the New Balance 990 V6. A New Balance 990 line is one of New Balance's most popular. popular lines of all time and the new balance 990v5 is one of their most popular releases and of course the 990 V6 is the continuation of that now classic sneaker when the 999 was first released with the 990v1 the sneaker was designed to be the best. running shoe of all time and as the models and iterations have progressed the shoe remains a great running shoe but also a very comfortable and wearable lifestyle shoe and the 990v6 is no different, it is An excellent shoe in all aspects, whether I am trying to run in this shoe or just use it for daily lifestyle.

In my opinion, this shoe not only looks amazing, it is also very comfortable underfoot no matter what you are doing and I personally think the 990v6 is probably my second favorite 990. Of all time, I think the V3 is probably my favorite, but the V6 is a close second and it's only because I love the panels on this shoe. I love the futuristic yet retro aesthetic of the shoe. It's just an amazing looking shoe all around. I wear it all the time and I know I've said that about a lot of shoes on this list but I mainly wear New Balances, the shoe has fuel cell foam and a capped midsole at the end which makes it incredibly soft underfoot .

Nice modern but also classic materials on the upper like suede and mesh accented by some synthetic materials that also make this shoe fit much better than previous pairs. In fact, this is one of the only pairs of 990s I actually picked up in my actual size. I usually wear a half size down because they tend to run a little big and another thing I love about the 990 V6 is how comfortable and soft the upper of this shoe is, an incredibly comfortable shoe, not as soft underfoot as the 1080. V12, but this is a close second in terms of comfort and aesthetically, this shoe would surpass the 1080 V12, at least in my opinion, so if you are looking for an incredibly comfortable, versatile and great looking pair of sneakers that you can use.

Every day the New Balance 990 V6 has you covered, however it is a bit more expensive at $200 so if you are willing to spend that kind of money on a pair of sneakers then go for it, if not there are plenty of other great ones . shoes on this list and finally rounding out the list at number one is the New Balance 1906 R so something I just found out recently is that the 1906 R is named after the year the New Balance was found in 1906 and personally , I think the 1906 R will be the most popular New Balance silhouette of 2023.

The shoe is amazing, it is inspired by the running shoes from the year 2000, it features the same midsole as the R 2002, but the upper part of the shoe features this amazing retro inspired style that I love and in terms of sneaker fashion, this shoe is probably the trendiest New Balance right now. The upper of the shoe features the 2000s running aesthetic that many other shoes on the list featured, but this one looks especially 2000s, which I think a lot of people love. Now and just the materials used in this shoe are so versatile, this is the collaboration and it features a ton of synthetic pieces and plastic pieces and this crazy metallic mesh, but the regular version of the shoe comes with this really nice suede.

I can put so many different materials on the upper of this shoe and still make it look amazing. It's such an aesthetically versatile silhouette and I love it. It's a shoe that I honestly didn't even know about until late last year and now that I have a pair in hand and had the opportunity to wear it. I fell in love. It is a beautiful shoe in terms of comfort. This shoe features a lightweight active midsole combined with wicking cushioning in the heel and upper of the shoe. Again, it's very well cushioned and relatively breathable for a shoe that features so much in the upper.

I can't believe I'm saying this at the beginning of 2023, but I think the 1906 R is probably my favorite New Balance silhouette this year. and no, it's not from New Balance this year, but I definitely think this will be the most popular silhouette in pop, at least in terms of sneakerheads. How many have seen it? It's such a wild looking sneaker but it looks so good. I love it. but that pretty much sums up today's entire list. Let me know your thoughts on this list in the comments section below and I'll see you all next time.
