I definitely agree, but I'm more partial to Adidas. Lovely set of NBs you got. I just wish NB would get more adventurous with their colorways instead of depending on collaborations to come up with interesting colorways. Not that there's anything wrong with their traditional grey-based colorways, but a little change never hurt.

It's kind of annoying when people only cop the "hyped" collaboration sneaker and ignore everything else the brand does, similar to when asics dropped those all red gel lyte IIIs last year. Maybe i'm biased, but NB has been doing things ALOT better than Nike for awhile(quality, material overall designs and aesthetics) but people seem to downplay the brand until a name like undefeated or staple is attached to it. I guess the message is, stop being hypebeasts and be more so sneaker fans.

First, the innersole was warping like what a water leak does to wood floors. Two, the stitching and cutting of the materials inside of the shoe looked like it was unfinished. Three, the leather reminds of shoes that I've seen sold during my trips to Mexico, it feels and smells cheap. Lastly, the toe curves up like an ELF boot. Don't buy it because I WASTED MY money. It'll beat these to the ground so as not to remind me why I bought them in the first place.
Fred usually ties all his shoes how they supposed to be tied....so im sure he prolly has other 1500s he ties the same way that dont do that?Originally Posted by truniversal

I've been up on New Balance since the early 90s and have never seen cheap materials or workmanship on a pair of 1500s created in collaboration with a boutique. If anything, I'd think the quality control would be the responsibility of UNDFTD. As for the "Elf boot" effect, that may be caused by how tight the laces are tied (take a look at the crease towards the back of your toe box due to the laces being so tight). 1500s have a very wide toe box, so in order to minimize the "Elf Boot" look, loosen the laces and try the sock folding method to support the loosened lace set up.
