yea in my size and $10 bucks 'buy now' was a no brainer to at least try to restore them. I tissue paper stuff my shoes so they still fit in the boxes. I like shoe trees but hate having shoes not in boxes.

Damn, shoe trees mean NB dont fit in the boxes anymore? Just when I was planning to finally buy some as well haha.

tha'ts the one shoe I wanted from the sale but no 10's so close. very good first 577.Dude! Thank you and repped. That extra 20% made me feel more than ok with grabbing these for around $100 shipped. Will be my first pair of 577's, I'm pumped..
Nice man! I was looking at those too but didn't see a 9. 577 are def a solid model though. Only have the flying the flags right now but def need more.Dude! Thank you and repped.

^^ hes referring to an outlet pick up, those are the last ones not the new ones
Thank you so much for shedding some light on it. I was pretty concerned that I might've paid for some factory seconds lol...Completely overlooked that my bad.
@igotssssoul those are perfectly legit, it's just the nature of the suede and the two toe boxes being cut from a different piece. It happens with all brands unfortunately, but you may notice it more often with New Balance since they use so many genuine materials.

Awesome shot! I think I'm going to start my search for them. They look killer here!
I mean, every single pair of NBs I have are tree'd and in their box, you're good.

That's a come up. How's the sole? Can it still handle weight?Managed these 998s off eBay for $10 haha. They were pretty rough but figured I could clean them up to be nice beaters. Anyone know what year these might be from? The midsoles are not grey but yellow and the tongue/heel hit seem to be the older style. Thanks!
I have often received NB's that have different textures (even slightly different colors). Just gotta remember, the leather (or suede) came from several different animals. I wouldn't worry about it so much. Just appreciate the differences
Hey guys. I just snagged a pair of 997tny's and just had some questions about the pair I received.
The ENTIRE toe box on the right shoe is completely smooth. There's absolutely no suede fuzz at all, whereas the left shoe does have it. Did any receive any pairs like this from Concepts? Also, was their quality control just THAT bad or do you guys think I might've received some kind of variant, fake or should've probably been labeled a factory second, but somehow just made it by?
I did the best I could to try and capture the smoothness of the toe box, but it doesn't look as obvious as it does in person. Hope you guys can still make it out pretty clearly though. Also, strangely enough, the shoe size wasn't marked on the box. The tongue label looks fine to me, but please let me know if you guys feel indifferent...
I box and tree. Most of the time they fit just fine.
