Never bought shoes from Alamo Shoes but I see that's Amazon Prime eligible so Amazon will ship it from their warehouse, easy returns. I would easily feel confident buying from any third party seller that Amazon handles shipping for.
I think what you have in the first one is not the OG 990s, it's what New Balance calls the Bringback. I have this one and it looks the same as yours.

There...
Guys there's a J.Crew code: 40% off that works on third party items: SPRINGTOIT
I think it's a glitch but I was able to pick up the 990GL4 for $103, used my Amex card which had an offer for $20 off $100, so $83.
Update: looks like they fixed the glitch. Sorry!
Think I'll get the Rose 574's. Love the color. I missed the 997 release. Thought about getting them on eBay but didn't want to overpay, Also saw that the liner on those were leather and I didn't want squeaky shoes like my M997NV.
Just trying to decide if I should get my usual size 10 or size...
Any advice on how to clean this? My suede eraser/brush didn't work. Not even sure how it happened as it looks like bleeding from the red tongue.
Thanks.
Just checked Ebay and I see a handful of listings for M998APC size 7 and 8's, for 90-100 bucks. New without box. People tryin' to make some extra cash.
What's your price point? For me it's $150 for the blanket. Honestly Woolrich jacquard blankets I wouldn't pay more than $100+tax but since it's a New Balance one I'll pay a little more. The shoe I have plenty of 997s but if it goes for 125 I think I'll cop just for that wool tongue.
That's a little harsh since a Woolrich jacquard blanket retail price is $198 but you can often find them on sale for less. The Woolrich x New Balance 997 is retailing for $220 which is only a $10 markup. Concepts 997 adds on much more.
Love wool blankets but at $250 you should buy a Pendleton...
Well, I just saved some money. Went to purchase the gray and black, had them in my cart and then I checked out and the gray said size 10 was out of stock, so then I decided not to buy it altogether.
Plus the $20 increase from a week ago put me off as well.
Looks like there's 12 N's visible in the box, assuming that there's a matching pair underneath, for 24, plus 4 N's already on the shoes...it could mean we get 28 N's.
I'm liking the gray pair a lot, I think I'm going to cop. I wear 10's in MiUSA pairs but for the four Asian made 574's I own I...
Haven't done OCF in a while but I gotta praise the M997CSIY - the suede is nappy, no creasing in toe box at all, shape is great. This is premium high quality craftsmanship, at least the pair I got. Second time wearing these and I'm appreciating the color way more.
