This fight is going to be a slugfest. I really dont know who I'd say is the better collaber. J Crew has some top notch stuff, but I feel they have a few flops as well. But Concepts seems to do a great job most of the time.

On the 997 the N is smaller so although the second photo looks nice and crispy I think the screenshot will be a truer representation. Most of the NB shoes I own do not feature sharp stitching when the line changes, instead there is one or two stitches that is parallel before going straight up or diagonally.

c notes are my favorite 998 but it is still j crew and it is still not even close, at all

not even close? chillllllll lol.
concepts owns the 997, and the 999. like I said last night they've had some duds with other models like the 575, and the 469.
But let's not act as if every 998/1400 j crew puts out is pure fire. Some are better than others and that just comes with the territory of having a lot of collabs.
I still think concepts makes the best new balance products.

You're better off without those RF's. They looked terrible unfiltered.

sucker for brown/tan suede pairs so these 997 jcrews will be straight fire. OCF!

Own the 997, what you smoking? All they did was 2 monotone CW, the j crew 997 blows those 2 out of the water. Also owns the 999, they've done 1 and J Crew hasn't done any. Concepts has more versatility with models but J Crew is way more consistent, plus concepts puts a lot more effort with stories and boxes lol.

My top 5 J Crew
Pebble Blues
Hilltop Blues
Concrete Jungles
Infernos
Independence Days
Those 5 vs other NB collaborators top 5.....I think J Crew wins it. It's all a matter of personal opinion though. Glad this has lit a fire in this thread.

they've done two but one is hideous (SEALs) and the other, the Kennedy, has never warranted the hype they get, but they're not that bad. But yeah was a weird point lol

those 999 seals look like tanks for shoes. God I've seen those in person @_@

lol. The luxury goods and roses are some of the best new balance collabs imo. They're simple and straight to the point, which is how I like my sneakers. As I said earlier, the j crew 997 will be able to compete with concepts.. but I don't see it being better, damn sure not blowing them out the water
At the end of the day it's all opinion. To say concepts makes the best new balance collabs isn't an asinine statement as some of you guys are making it out to be.
There's a general consensus on this board in runner threads that BAIT makes horrible collabs. There's plenty of people I know in person who love their collabs and usually cop every one. That doesn't mean I'm going to devalue their opinion because NTers think otherwise

honestly arguing over who did what better is like arguing over which ice-cream flavour is best; boils down to personal preference and the more the merrier.
I'm just glad we have so many dope NB collabs and GRs to pick from.

I would agree with this list.
