Haven’t seen in person but these looked pretty good IG, definitely a little brighter I think.

There is a size 9 and a size 10.5 (better price) on amazon.

Not the NB x Carhartt collab. Just a play Carhartt hoodie, not from their WIP Line.

This is the one I have and it works well. Honestly I think buying a suede/nubuck eraser is a must have for anyone who has New Balance sneakers

Is that what it's meant to be? How would that work?

All I could tell was it was extremely uncomfortable, just pressing into both sides of my foot. They also don't have that perfect color in what I think is the non uncomfortable version of this shoe.

First Shoe (Really Uncomfortable One)

Second Shoe (Nice one, but without the Black on White color scheme ):

With the black laces I find it stealing the main focus instead of the olive. A darker grey would balance it out and have a nice toned overall look.

Another color that would work with olive is the golden brass olive color. The mesh color from the marblehead incense.

The laces that came with the 990v3 patta will also work.

insoles, works great for me

I used the gray ones that came with the Olive leaf v3's. But I did order these from Amazon for my 2002r Phantom's and they were good...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NVRF5RD?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details

I highly recommend Foam Tex. I just tried this stuff for the first time on my Stray Rats v3's and it worked awesome.

Gotta let it dry fully before you judge the results on suede.

Got both off Amazon. The big one was from a few years ago and is out of stock now. They have similar ones there that you can find tho. here is the smaller shelf though

Holds up well, you'll need to touch up here and there when wearing them, but nothing to bad.

I used 2 sizes of Posca beige markers to get the midsole that color and got them from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T3DFTRE/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Used this marker size to color in the laces\stitching between the midsoles)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046ZAL40/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o04\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Used the marker size to paint the midsole)

Without knowing where exactly the tear is, only suggestion is maybe get some fabric repair tape (something like this on Amazon US). They're used to patch up outdoor equipment and jackets, so maybe it's worth a shot. Granted it might not match the color of the shoe, but it's something I would sacrifice if that means the shoe still functions as intended.

Get a suede brush and eraser kit (Cheap one on Amazon US). A toothbrush can work at times too. Regular soap is meant to break down oil so you'll dry the suede out faster. There are soaps for leathers and suedes, but personally would only use it if I NEED to clean the shoe.

these from Amazon

just spray them with a suede protector

Honestly new balance socks from the new balance site are a pretty solid option. For unbranded socks I’ve usually bought these: Dickies Men's Dri-tech Moisture Control Crew Socks Multipack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QF0TG0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6F6HC07CP6WT3SY4C6Q0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I don’t have any 993s but got some 992s. Got some replacement laces from amazon and they look pretty spot on to the ones from NB. Not sure if the 93 and the 92 have the same laces though

Those white on white look 👀 clean tho. Yeah, it’s perfectly imperfect manufacturing. Maybe lace um up a little higher or tighter? Some shoe stores sell these little stick on heel pads for back of heels so they help when people have a slight fitting issue.

I got them from here: https://www.amazon.com/New-Balance-990v5-Sneaker-Castlerock/dp/B0797LTWLT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3E9Q0QFBXKE23&keywords=990v5&qid=1642920618&sprefix=990%2Bv5%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1

Choose your size and make sure it is sold by Amazon.com.

Look for the "New & Used" option by Amazon.com.

The item may be say "Used -Good" or "Very Good" but I swear that Amazon only notices the condition of the box and not the shoes themselves.

Hopefully available where youre from

Try something like this kit. A crepe brush and then the brass brush. Should help restore the nap of the suede. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074ZS3JJ7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0B82JGAJG43T4M5YYVNH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Found these on amazon. Quite similar.

that is brutal, sorry man. you don't wanna use glue to fix it. get some contact cement, much better for holding pieces together. if they don't hook you up with replacements that will fix them.

I got them on Amazon. Kinda pricey but quality is on point Stackable Shoe Organizer Clear Plastic 3 Pack Shoe Boxes for Display Shoes Sneakers Storage Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MM1MVXN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YDK2S22DTFJDH5TAS6GG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've replaced the laces on my 993's (and other NB's) with these and I prefer them considerably. Just make sure you get the size you like.

These powder blue look dope with them: https://smile.amazon.com/VSUDO-Shoelaces-Sneakers-Athletic-1Pair-White-114CM/dp/B082Z5T55J/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=vsudo%2Bdouble%2Blayer%2Bflat%2Bshoe%2Blaces&qid=1626643188&s=apparel&sr=1-3&th=1&psc=1

I like this and a suede eraser.

1. Do not start with water. It will make the oil and grease set in. Start with sprinkling/coating the oil stains with corn starch. Gently rub it in and let it sit overnight.

2. Brush all the stuff off.

3. Use this as directed and really clean it up. Start this portion with the wash. Jason Markk Premium Shoe Cleaner and Suede Cleaning Kit (Bundle) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBW4I0K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_p-AeGbH2SX88J

4. After it dries overnight, move on to the suede kit.

The brush will help bring the nap back up on the suede.

Much appreciated - the 100cm good enough for most 990/997/998?

I own a pair of 990v5, not sure what the difference for laces would be but I’ve ordered a couple of different brands from amazon and settled with these which are a bit wider than the original laces but they’re very good quality and feel solid/premium.

The blue is a little lighter than navy, but still nice. Check out the military green. Look great with jeans.

A tip: I spray every new pair of NB’s with 2 coats of this. It doesn’t change the color at all, and helps with water resistance and stains. https://www.amazon.com/Bickmore-Gard-More-Water-Repellent-Neutral/dp/B000HHLM9E/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=suede+protector+spray+for+shoes&qid=1604348929&sprefix=suede+&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGl...

It is not easy to find/order that force field fresh spray in my country...what i can do is order from Amazon is a difrent brand Crep Protect that I believe does the same thing, i read some good reviews others not so good, maybe buy and try in the next days.

Thank you

These are the exact shoe on the page I bought it from.

Edit: Also I think they could be from an American seller. The ones on the bottom are from a UK store so maybe that's why they could be different.

I use the reshoevn8r kit on all my sneakers. It comes with 3 brushes (soft, medium, hard) so you can clean multiple types of material. I use the soft on suede/primeknit/mesh/laces, medium on the outsole, and hard on the sole. Although, I rarely clean the sole because it's just going to get dirty again anyway.
