The colorblocking on this model is amazing. The way the colors contrast against each other make this my personal favorite Grey Day pair to release over the years.

Materials: the majority of the upper consists of mesh & some hits suede that wrap around the lower half of the shoe. Essentially, below the N logo, there is a soft grey suede that wraps around the entire sneaker. The suede feels the same as the OG grey 990v6, which imo, is soft to touch & has a nice color change to it overall. On the medial & lateral parts of the sneaker it has this synthetic & perforated material that is in a Navy color. Lastly, the rest of the upper is made up of a cream mesh that has the same pattern & feel as the OG V6 as well. Overall, I feel like the choice of the materials & the placement of the colors worked together very nicely.

Comfort/Sizing: When I think of fuelcell, I imagine a very bouncy & responsive ride, but for ME, this had a perfect mixture of stability & bouncy & they really did an amazing job. Idk how they did it, but I find the 990v6 way more comfortable than the v5. The best way I could describe it, is imagine a V3 or fuelcell model & add stabilization and that is to me is the v6. In terms of sizing I got these in a 7.5 & they fit me perfectly. Essentially, stick to your same 990 sizing.

Overall Opinion: As I mentioned previously, this is my personal favorite out of the entire Grey Day pack & was a big upgrade from a quality standpoint to the v4 I received. The colorblocking works together really well & gives it a really subtle & clean aesthetic, making it a really versatile sneaker. Regarding the model, the V6 is a simple, clean & comfortable silhouette. I personally feel like the V6 is an easy choice to throw on if I knew I was going to be on my feet all day. Overall, NB did a great job on this colorway & if you slept on this pair, they have been hitting the sale rack lately, so don't sleep on a good price.

If you made it this far, thank you for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts on this sneaker.
