Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

[kicks504]

Such good info on here! I will be deploying to Bahrain, so I will def. be in need of some assists over the next year. On the flip side, some shoes (jordans, lebrons, etc) are easier (although pricey) to get out there. Hoping I can help some people out and maybe even find a spot that carries NB. I dont remember seeing too many on my last visit so I will need to try my luck online and get some assists when possible.

I am all about helping out fellow enthusiasts whenever I can, its one of the core culture elements that has become increasingly rare. I hope this thread stays on track, it has brought me back to NT.

Welcome back and I'm down 2 help just lmk

This thread is on fire! Thank you so much for the sukauto link. I've been fiending for the grey 576, so went ahead and grabbed a pair. I don't feel real confident these will hit stateside and if they do, I'll double up. I always said I can't help myself around a classic grey NB colorway. My wife wanted a pair too... But no US size 7 available. if anyone comes across smaller sizes, PLEASE let me know. I keep myself out of trouble by getting her pairs when she wants em!

NB is killing me right now.  I know the 1500 above has been posted before, but darn that thing is 

Not always a huge fan of the 577, but I love the color blocking on the one I posted above. 

Both on pre-order on End Clothing, but unfortunately I won't order from them due to being slammed with customs tax from them in the past, due to how they ship (Fedex) and how they mark their packages.

I am going to grab the B&Y collab. Anyone have a list of US release locations (other than LDRS)?

Weekend pickup/ m996/ $99.50/ @ shopnicekicks  Few 13's left.

grabbed the matching 996 water bottle hookup on feebay.

First UKs came in today.  420/ Made in UK/ $29.99.  Few 13's left.  http://www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com/detail.asp?style=U420UN

 

[stunnaman]

just got my 996s in from Feature, and boy am i disappointed 

I thought the saddle was a dark navy leather, not a gray leather

my mind played tricks on me 

 

 

[remedy444]

The saddle is not Navy? Wow, I thought it was navy as well.

That'll make my decision easy between these 996's and the 1300ER in similar color way.

I've returned a couple sneaks to Feature before and if I remember correctly there's no restock fee or anything, just pay return shipping. If that's the route you decide to go with these. 

 

[perks]

^WOW.  I thought it was navy this whole time. Still a nice shoe though.

it was a big *** hassle gettin em, its gonna take forever, and i gotta take an L on the shipping..eh f it..theyll prolly grow on me after a while lol

 

[diakonos]

^^^ wow that does suck. i thought it was navy as well. i wonder who actually thought it was grey...?

anyways, @stunnaman - how do they feel? comfortable at least? (i dunno about anyone else but even in your picture the saddle still looks a little navy to me) my are playing tricks on my mind.

Yeh I hear yah... Im considering grabbing the 1300ER and hate the filters some places put on their photos.

Example:

 

[playray]

Do I size .5 up on the 996 compared to a 1500 or 999?  Nordstrom.com is saying to size up.  Anyway if anybody is interested, they have it on sale at:

http://www.ycmc.com/996-runner.html

Use AC10 for additional 10% off.  Few sizes available.

[rune04]

stunnaman I had the same feeling you did when you opened that 996 box

hahha I thought it was navy also and opened the box like WFT???? I have grown to like them though. Ive been wearing them almost daily since they came.

I'd say definitely get the same size as the 1500 and 999. If anything the 996 can run a little big, but it depends on where they were made.

 

[kip2mylou]

I would say go TTS to size with the 996. They do fit a little bigger but not enough to go down half a size.

And has anybody ever ordered from End Clothing before?
