Sounds like the materials are not as good as the 997gy. Are the materials comparable????

Sorry man I've never actually seen the GY in person, I wish I had a pair to compare. But there's obviously not the plush pebbled tongue since they used the embossed croc 3M, but that's just a matter of preference I suppose. All of my 998s (aside from the J Crew Concrete Jungles) have that super nappy, almost fur-like suede, while the 997NVs and the Rosés are just a bit rougher. Still very, very nice, don't get me wrong.

997's are a little tight, anyone know of any methods to stretch them? is heating them with a blow dryer a bad idea?

Autobahn Days and Nights - a year ago at NRML - just walked in at 3 pm and scooped my size 9s. The hype seemed to really blow up after the C-Notes last fall(?)

These sexy beasts arrived today. So much better in person and definitely worth the price tag. I can say that I am very satisfied with this purchase.
My second pair is on their way too. It was sitting with UPS for a while and it just got updated. The second pair should be here by Thursday. Now onto the RF x NB 850 black Friday release.

Very nice. I had been kind of undecided as to how those look best but I really prefer the white laces over the other 2

Yea white laces really make the shoes pop compared to the grey. The grey have 3M in them and its almost too much grey 3M on the shoe. Same with the pink laces, no 3M but just too much pink.

i heard there's a early sample pic that was floating or floated around but apparently the teaser looks nothing like the sample..or was what you saw this very same shoe?
- 2,059

It looks to be the same shoe. I will say the latest teaser def looks better. In fact, I couldn't remember if it was the same one. Hey, it can always change. Official pics arent out, but if it is indeed the one I saw...buns IMO.
edit: Same shoe. They just highlighted the good part of the shoe.

lol. Concepts is the worst. Can't believe they're this slow. Mine barely shipped today #37xxx. They're scheduled to arrive on the 24th via snail mail.

Suede on the 997gy is slightly softer than the 997nv probably similar to the 998's as it does feel fur-like.

I gotta offer for some catcher in the rye 997s for $170 shipped. How's the suede on those? any 3m?
