How does anybody feel about buying a 998 up a half size from their normal, for either a good deal or because that's all that is left?[/quote
For 998s I won't buy anything unless it's 8 or 8.5 same with 997.

I wear a 10 in pretty much all shoes. I have 998s in 9.5 and 10s... no issue with both. Wont stop for a second if I found either if its a dope pair.How does anybody feel about buying a 998 up a half size from their normal, for either a good deal or because that's all that is left?
i've done it, and am totally fine with it, especially if it's on a hard to come by pair or one that's a great deal. makes up for the slight size difference IMO.How does anybody feel about buying a 998 up a half size from their normal, for either a good deal or because that's all that is left?[/quote

Thanks for the input. Might just get a 10 in the hilltop blues. Called jcrew and they said they are out of 9.5 in all stores and online, and since they aren't backordered they can't notify me when they get one since basically all they will get is a possible return. I guess I could always return it if I don't like how it fits. I don't think they are final sale on jcrew are they?How does anybody feel about buying a 998 up a half size from their normal, for either a good deal or because that's all that is left?
they allow returns for full refund w/in 60 days, either bring to physical store or ship back on your own dime or use their service and have 5 bucks deducted from your refund, more details on the 'returns and exhanges' page on their site. go for the HTBs, i have a pair myself which is waiting to be unds'edThanks for the input.

Anyone?
For those who have handled the Napes pack, what is the quality like?
What I like about these is they went with the OG 580 which has the Rollbar instead of the new ones that come with Revlite. Yes Revlite is lighter and not as firm but the Feel of them just felt off for me, I much prefer the sturdy og model and pretty sure it will hold up better than these new ones since less dense, lighter foam breaks down faster. The G.I. Joe branding isn't real present on these which is a plus, they also put the smaller NB on the heel rather than the toe wrap which has a better look IMO. I wouldn't pay 160 for them personally just cause I would rather spend that much on some other NB models but I could find them with a discount I would prob snag that white pair over the blacks.
More Bait x NB (October 10th) Retail is $160 each
Sharp eyes you have. Yes, those are seconds. How did you tell?@podunky Are those GYs seconds? The toe wrap looks kinda large, but it may just be the angle.
The top two 998s look good. Leather tongue and the blue tongued ones. The leather tongue one reminds me of a darker 998cel. 998s are so damn comfy.
How do the 580s fit? Don't own too many NBs, but kinda curious.Facts. Those black ones >>>>> their gliii collab.Bait killed it with these
couldn't pass for $59.99. Found em at urban outfitters clearance in store
saw them in hand at Liberty in NYC months back, they are even better in person. the accent color is a really nice bronze.Count me in on that white and navy 998 [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]

I go tts in 580s. Half sz up wouldn't hurt tho
Thanks and reps to you both.Half size down wouldn't hurt either. I'm a size 8 in, 580,850,997,998,1500, gt2, saga, N9000, Grid 9000,shadow 5000. Everything else 8.5 my tts
Yeah, the leather that wraps around the toe area. The camera angle makes the toe wrap look even larger though. I just compared those pics with my GY and I assumed that not many people are sitting on non-factory second GYs. Also, there has been a lot of factory second GYs in outlets. Additionally the stitching/cut around the heel wrap (is that even a term?) is slightly off. But ain't no one going to be seeing the inner area of the shoe so it really is irrelevant.Sharp eyes you have. Yes, those are seconds. How did you tell?
I don't get the toe wrap thing, do you mean the leather around the toe area? Might be just the angle, but they look fine to me. Maybe I like it this way more, balances out the sharpness of the overall look.
