New Balance 990v3 by Teddy Santis

This is definitely going to be an unpopular opinion, but this is probably one of my favorite V3 teddy pairs as of now.

Materials: this is the first V3 Teddy pair we've seen with non hairy suede, and I honestly love it lol. The suede is soft to touch and has a nice color change to it while brushing across it. The mesh used is the same mesh you usually see on most v3's. I will say one thing, and this is my personal opinion, but the shade of burgundy on this sneaker is beautiful in hand and probably my favorite all red sneaker in a while.

Comfort/Sizing: imo, the 990v3 is very squishy on foot as you stand in place but also has a slight firmness to it as well. It's a very easy sneaker to wear all day without any discomfort. In my experience, I recommend going down a half size in the 990v3. Imo, this shoe fits me perfectly in a size 7.5 and definitely wouldn't recommend going any other size.

Overall Opinion: I really love this colorway overall. The shade of burgundy used on this model is really beautiful & doesn't feel like it's just a bright red shoe, it has a darker shade to it which I personally prefer. It's very simple, easy to style, and given that it's a V3, this is an easy choice to throw on and wear if you're going to be on your feet all day. This colorway will probably not be a very popular one out of the Teddy pairs this year, but it's one of my favorites
