I've got the Concrete Jungles that are TTS but then I received my 998gy today I feel that they are a bit bigger. I'd say its hit or miss. I know this is not very helpful but figured I'd drop my 2 cents.

They really did. I was taken off guard when I saw them in person last week. Your pics actually do them justice. They have some of the best materials I've seen in awhile...and that gum sole.

Awfully close to the Concrete Jungles, but they'll still be had. Can't get enough of green sneakers.

I find it hilarious that people in FB groups say they won't buy 997CCF's because they're not collabs. I know some may just be trolling, but I know a few truly mean it.
I'm all for them not wanting the "unpopular" or "non-hyped" pairs.

Those groups make me lose faith in the shoe culture, sometimes in humanity itself.

Yeah, I saw those post about the ccfs being wack cause it's not a collab. I was like...what...those are actually gr fire to me anyways.

The FB groups are great for deals at times, and to sell moderately quickly. Their discussions on the other hand, at times, get ridiculous. Such as with the 997CCF's.
Hey, whatever makes them happy right? haha
If anything, that leaves the GR Glory for the rest of us.
Exactly. No NB collab has caught my attention thus far this year. All I've had my eyes set on are GR's coming out. And they towards the top of my list.

I guess these idiots have yet to figure out that NB GRs are better then their collabs. Only brand you can say that for imo

Without a doubt. I hope they never figure it out.
I would say 90% of my NB's are GR's, and quality is on par with Collabs. New Balance knows what they're doing. And the majority of my NB Collabs are from J Crew, which they too know what they're doing.

Speaking of toe puffs, has anyone seen the 1300JP2 in real life? If so, how's the toe puff on them?

I've finally seen them in real life, and I'd have to say the toe puff is pretty noticeable.

Ah, that's pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to them.

Lmao, then again...I have been sitting in the sidelines since Concrete Jungles released (from the top of my head) in terms of new releases, and have since been waiting for 997CCF's and 997BTS's. So my praise comes from last years releases back,
If they start to fix what's not broken, I'll start to change my tune.
My point was NB GR's kill, and J Crew knows how to play with NB models. Toe puffs are a no no.

I saw two pairs in person. Both were bad but one was much worse. Cant be paying 300 for them though. If they were perfect, I'd consider it
