Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

new pickup
NB 1290 - liked how they looked and figured it would be lame to say i was "into New Balances" and only be copping retros. These are made in the USA, well constructed but the suede is definitely that air max 1 non-premium suede. i like the insoles, these are also very light and seem to be very comfortable

Oh man those 577s are horrible. Sad how the shape of even flimby models has gone to ... That banana wonkyness is an embarassment. How could they ever lose their molds.
 
Picked these up for $97. Personally, I think this is the 2nd best pair of NB's that came out this year. Just ordered the red pair from Barney's earlier today as well

Been eyeballing these for a while now. Lovely shoe, but that $130 is a stinger with all these presents to purchase. Care to give us some on-feet shots whenever you choose to UnDS?
 
I'm not sure if this has been posted here, but Crooked Tongues is offering 25% off until Friday with the code CTCYBERMONDAY. They also have free worldwide shipping. They have some pretty good NB stuff up right now.

dadbath sighting :nerd: :lol: good post bro- good to see you back in here

Thanks, man. I've been busy, but I'll try to check in here more regularly. Crazy how far this thread has come in the past few months.

francollectual, nice pickup. Those are definitely not to be missed. The suede on them is fantastic.

T21D, nice stuff. I wish 577s still had that shape.
 
Ty and dadbath. Someone actually posted a non-retro pick-up. What's going on?! Next thing omash will be back in here posting pictures.
 
MEMPHISMODE DISENGAGED::::

I went half size down from my TTS as suggested by a few folks on here and the seals fit perfect.

I'm def not the person for this, but would anyone like to do a list of size differences for the models?

:lol:

I'll give you a run-down of mine. My 1400's, 999's, and 993's are a 12 (and they all fit comfortably snug- i'm a true 12.5-13). My 998's are a 13 (too big and a little narrow) and my 580's are a 13 and fit well). I wear a 12.5-13 in adidas and Jordan. In Nikes, im typically a 13 (especially air maxes and dunks/forces)

Here's a breakdown of NB sizing for me:

574 (made in Asia) - 11
574 (made in UK or USA) - 11.5
575 - 11.5
576 - 11
577 - 11.5
580 - 11
670 - 11 or 11.5 (varies depending on the pair)
996 - 11 or 11.5 (varies depending on the pair)
997 - 11
999 - 11
1300 - 11
1400 - 11
1500 - 11

I hope that helps.
 
Anyone have any more info on the 990 30th Anniversary shoe?  Missed out on the Bows and Arrows release.

THANKS A BUNCH M8.

THIS WILL BE MOST HELPFUL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WHAT SIZE DO U WEAR IN NIKES, IF U WEAR NKES
 
^ 11 for Jordans. 11 for most Nikes, but 11.5 for Dunk SBs and 11.5 or 12 for Air Max 90s.

Seems like most shops are doing an in-store release on Dec. 1.

If you're looking to buy online I'd say Crooked Tongues would be your best bet. Hanon doesn't specify whether or not they'll be selling them online.
 
if youre in the the US though you might as well pay a US reseller though rather than buying overseas. retail prices for the 990s are crazy. 160 pounds, 180/200euro.
at least in canada it's $180 canadian.
another shop in canada appears to have sold early. only a 13 left on their webstore.
