Looks like there also having some pretty good sales on some Made in UK stuff we dont see here often in the US. I've never ordered from SNS before since its overseas, anyone familiar with the site and know what shipping would be like to US or what the charge usually is for importing? I've heard 200 is the limit and anything more than that means customs fees but not sure if thats universal or just for certain countries or what. 
Ordered multiple times from sneakersnstuff and never had a problem with them. They usually dispatch your item the same day or the next business day. Shipping cost $10 flat via fedex to the U.S. and usually takes them 2 days for them to arrive to my house, so super quick shipping! Never ordered anything over $200+, so never had any custom fees charged at all!

SNS is legit and quick shipping too. If you order over $200, they'll declare half of it so $100. That's what they do to my orders anyway
 
Every time I ordered from SNS the package ships quick. Some people have had issues with the packaging since it's just cardboard molded to your shoebox. I have had no issues thus far and shipping was pretty cheap to US for one pair of sneakers.
 
yep, SNS are solid with their order processing times.  I've never had issues with the thin cardboard 'cover' but would prefer that they box it properly.
I highly recommend SNS, I've gotten MiUSA shoes cheaper from them and shipped faster than anywhere in the states. Their prices and selection are really good atm too
 
SNS are legit and almost an institution in Europe, with stores in London and Paris these days as well as the original shops in Sweden.
Well dam this is more helpful advice than I thought I would hear thanks guys lol I did some searching and as confusing as the whole overseas shipping/importing laws are when it comes to textiles and goods and even how they break it down to fabric percentage and how much threadcount per kilo blah blah etc it seems under $200 is the line where you won't need to deal with customs or importing fees. I'm not sure how often they would mark down declared amount because even then you could still get hit with charges if someone takes a closer look at it so ill prob stick with a couple items at most just to play it safe. Also 10 bucks flat rate shipping is a steal considering FeatureLV charges more than that and thats within the US lol. I was hoping to snag some Made in UKs on sale but it seems US 12 is normally the highest size they sell and im typically a 13 for everything but 998 which they never have, not sure if Europeans have small feet or they just don't sell that many 13s but UK 11 always seems to be the highest size you see overseas for some reason. 
 
^ you're thinking too much bruh

I know I always overthink everything when i purchase online, I'm very indecisive sometimes when it comes to my money lol.

This 996 hoodie is pretty nice considering the sub average lifestyle pieces they usually release for apparel. Not sure why the description is for the womens hoodie I assume someone was sleeping on the job lol the sweats are some of the best looking fleece joggers Ive seen on there too. Anyone order from their NB international collection before? For every item it says size up one and that tag size will reflect actual size while the size you ordered will be the US conversion size I guess. Just curious if they do run a size small sometimes NB apparel can fit pretty loose and I have a few pieces that are too baggy to wear.

Just order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit. You're making this more difficult than it needs to be.
 
For those looking for unfiltered Nimbus from NB1, I have a few pairs using that color. Here is the latest, Red Carpet Lebron inspired. Quick shot in the house. Unfiltered
thanks for this mate! toe/base underlay are both Nimbus cloud right/ im guessing the lining and base N logo is Aruba? appreciate your photos a lot! 
 
 
mos d, it was just weird because i don't think that 997 had hit retails and they were already 130..i was hoping they'd hit 100 like 997cgb
I am still hoping for the same, don't get me wrong haha, next time I see em in the ballpark though I'll have to jump on it, that first eBay run didn't even have my size
