Official NB basketball thread

[jking85]

These should get a GR since he won a ring last night. Well played by New Balance. My high school team used to wear them, they aren't
bad hooping shoes. I am interested to try these out on the court. I think they may feel like the Kobes.

New Balance really screwed up on this one. But I still really want to try out the kicks though.

Hope Kawhi can get his logo back from Nike/JB too.

How did they screw up on this one?

They didn't have any shoes to sell to the public!

Their only signature athlete just won a chip and Finals MVP and they didn't have anything ready except for a t-shirt.

Thanks for starting this thread. The OMN1S are a great-looking pair of shoes and have so much potential, but New Balance is really, REALLY messing them up by not having a general release by now.

This shoe should have been ready to go for the public by the All-Star Break . Idk what's happening to hold up the release, but NB needs to get it together. The buzz around Kawhi has never been louder.

What I find interesting is the turnaround on the NB1 are fairly quick and those are individually created, yet a mass produced colorway or at least 2500 run hasn’t been delivered. It’s mind boggling.

The t shirt release was a complete nightmare and after being on their website right at launch, still didn’t come away with what I wanted. I know people hate on Nike and the limited edition difficult to obtain kicks but all brands are subject to such challenges. I hope this is evidenced by the last few releases and people recognize such.

I’ve heard they run big .5 size down was the recommendation BUT that’s only what I’ve heard.

[tigo0240]

new balance needs a refresher course on how to release a sneaker...

 

[carolinakickg]

NB should be embarrassed about this. Launch a sig and there’s no GR for how many months?

 

[Magic33]

New Balance blew it in the Toronto/Canada market, but they have a chance to correct things in LA.

I hope they release some more fun guy shirts in different colors. I like the way they fit.

Any update on sizing? Do you think TTS? Baggy or slim fit?
