^ that sheet of butta at 0:07 though.

I'm tossing and turning on these now. Price will be the determining factor.

I think it's brown if you watch the YT video above as well. Not burnt orange, but with spotlight lighting I can see how it looks orange.

LPU

Also tried the shaping technique on a pair of 1300s. Definitely looks good but makes me wonder if it's really messing up the midsole

I believe someone posted $215 a few pages back

Hmmmm....not sure I really need a mostly brown based 997 with the DBRs in the stash. They look damn good though.

Tempting. It'll be interesting to see the hype levels on these.

Wow jcrew look great!
And available March 12!? Thought it would be another month or so

Passing for this very reason.

Wow between these 2 pics they look like 2 different shoes lol. Look at the mesh on the toe...

I'm not big on brown, I was hoping they were closer to the orange-ish looking pair, and at $215 I'll definitely have to pass. Discount (not likely) or bust for me lol.

 

[whoisthisguy]

JCrews are nice! At this moment not sure if I'm gonna cop

 

[monkeyd]

For $215 will try to get it in store for the fancy wooden box.

 

[JSWAM]

Whats the price for standard NB box who order online?

 

[panaricanretro]

I suggest watching the video all the way through. You get a lot of good looks at the shoe and it seems like the color is really somewhere in between the two above. The toe box mesh is definitely not as green looking as in the above pic, I think it works nicely with the rest of the shoe. Definitely grabbing these.

I need to find an excuse to bust out these J crews.

Longest I've ever owned a pair of shoes and NOT wear them.

 

[solefreedom1013]

Love those, bwood056 .

Those are samples, right?

All in on the J. Crew 997. Now to convince my friend to cop in store for me so I can get that fancy box. 

 

[bwood056]

Yeah.

Got them a year or so ago.

I think it was one of the samples during the hilltop blue process (I think) - same blocking

 

[bwood056]

Thanks brother !

This summer I'll make sure to lay them to the pavement lol

They're really dope. I would love if they released that colorway at some point.

I def don't need these but that probably won't stop me.

RIDICULOUS!

Here's a side by side shot with the hilltops

I had an opportunity to grab the other pair the guy had listed, but passed because they were worn with a little rip (regret it now).
