Does the NB Concept Store in iSquare mall still exist? I remember getting the 1300jp there is 2010 and yeah, the made in USA stuff was really expensive. What about the NB store in Mong Kok, is that still there? I remember that one being really cool as well.
Size 13 does exist for those. Groovy has them, but they're pretty expensive at $195 CAD.

They're still available on a bunch of Euro sites, but they'll be pricey.

Nice shot, Lemon.
I'm going to put on my NT13 hat and propose a new topic:
What is the best pair of NBs you've seen someone else wearing in person?
I ask because there are so many amazing NB on feet pictures posted here and on IG these days, yet I still rarely see anything which wows me in...
Bodega 577s

Cool to see another US 577 collaboration and the materials look great, but I'm not big on the colours.
^ I'm not sure if the same fix would work for the 999s because they may not have the same tab in the toe which was removed from those 1500s. But if you try it let us know what happens!
The UK 577 fits a half size small for me, but I would be careful about going a full size up.
I don't own any 998s, but I've tried them on and I would say they fit the same as the 997 (which is true to size for me).
Great question! I'd pick the Sneakersnstuff/Milkcrate 577SN1 and get rid of a couple colours (maybe the green and yellow). I really liked the gray pair they did as well but the 577SN1 was just too busy for me.
Nice pickups, EZ.
Nice 1300s and picture, kani21.
Thanks, denniscu, B Sox, jelly, and demiller.
Sorry, jeremy, I couldn't help myself.
On the topic of grails, I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'll never have one of the original Crooked Tongues 576s (particularly the blue...
Probably best to try them on in store if you can. There was a size survey a while back in the NB thread. 60% said the 998s fit TTS, 40% said they fit a half size big. Here are the survey results:
