First Asics

First pair and decided to go for the NYC 2.0. Usually a New Balance guy, but am quickly becoming a huge fan of these. Much bouncier than any NB I have, but I am liking it a lot. I went with the same size I wear in the 993 and they fit much more snug, I almost returned them to go a half size up. Decided to wear them in the house for a couple days then decided to keep them. After five days they fit absolutely perfectly. Slate blue goes well with so much too. Happy customer

NYC 2.0 vs Kayano 20

Want to get some Asics. I love my NB 993, 991v2, 740, and 2011. All fit me pretty perfectly. Any recommendations or input on which shoe is better for what? Also, how is the fit compared to NB 993?

1890 grey days

Been rocking my 993’s, 991v2’s, and these a lot lately. Just got done with a 7 mile trail walk in these and I gotta say, they are severely underrated for comfort and stability on this sub. Best my feet have felt doing this exact loop in years. So so so good on uneven ground, roots, rocks, etc. Skater for over twenty years so my feet start screaming pretty quickly, but not with these. Highly recommend. Excited to see if this sole gets used more often in the future (excluding those kith ones people are posting)

Joe’s ordering

Anyone else getting no order updates from joe’s? Ordered some stuff last week and got an order confirmation but they haven’t charged my card and no updates since. Reached out to them and they said they would look into it, but it seemed like an automated response. Hoping i’m not the only one.

993 vs 991v2

Gonna give my two cents on the differences between the 993 and 991v2 in my experience so far. I first got these grey 993’s about a month ago for work/walking the dog/long days on feet. Wanted a black pair too so I decided to try some black 991v2’s. First off I absolutely love both but they are VERY different shoes despite the similar silhouette. Mind you I install custom window treatments, so some days i’m up and down stairs and ladders all day, some days are much more chill. The 993 is leagues better for work. Better for walking around corners and shifting weight side to side while carrying a load. Feet feel like heaven even after a heavy day. If i’m doing literally anything else though, the 991v2 kicks the 993’s ass. 991v2 is lighter and moves with my foot/ankle more. I hate running but these shoes make me want to run. The way they role from the heel to the toe feels almost too natural. The sole is softer but somehow just as responsive, just feels like I could role my ankle easier in these if i’m doing something crazy.

I’ve been skateboarding hard for over twenty years too and these shoes have improved my quality of life ten fold (my knees and ankles are wrecked). Invest in your body!

Adopted this sweet boy. Foster said he’s a terrier/chihuahua mix. We think he’s a rat/cha. What do you all think? He’s ten months old and the best lil boy

Got my first pair of MIUSA 993’s and am instantly addicted to how well they fit and how good they feel. I’m also a fan of the 992 but wanted to hear people’s experience with them vs the 993. Seems like a more narrow sole from what I can see. Can anyone break down the pros and cons of each?
