^ Hanon posted on IG a 990CER that looks pretty similar, maybe a little nicer than these.

Just checked them out. Both are really dope, but I think I still prefer the 1400's. I love when they use a suede N

I stopped buying New Balances that I liked because of these reasons.[/quote

Yea me too [emoji]128553[/emoji] Went from maybe 1 new New Balance sneaker per 4-6 weeks to nothing...just been super disappointed in the brand. I even sold 95% of my old pairs because I was buying a pair, wearing them once or twice, and they looked "beat" or rundown afterwards. Just didn't hold-up. One pair had really nice plush/soft suede but the nap seemed mismatched (one long, other short). And then huge puffy toes, we want sleek and streamlined, not puffy and off-center. I really like New Balance & want them to put out desirable product and they have been putting out some nice stylish, clean CWs of late: the butterscotch, deconstructed tan pair exclusive to Kith & upcoming sand pair is ******* nice too, I just hope they figure this **** out.

Sad to see that a lot of you have problems with your nbs. I personally haven't bought a pair for over a year so I can't attest to quality/craftsmanship, but for $200 plus I would hope that there are virtually no flaws.

Got my first 1300's in the mail today. Feel kinda big on me. Not much padding in the heel so my heels slip a tad. Nice looking through.

Nice, I'm still lookin for em! Enjoy em tho @crip

if i run across another 9.5 i will hit you up. they are getting hard to find. hardly ever see them for sale

 

[jwolfe]

I love these two pairs but I don't wear them at all. I might part ways if one of you guys have been looking. I feel like I've only been holding into them because of my collection

Not in office anymore but anyways...

I unfortunately agree with the first part. I've gotten to the point that I really don't feel comfortable ordering made in USA pairs online. Last time I did was the HTB's only because my local j Crew had stock. I ended up having to swap my pair out due to toebox dimples and the midsole wasn't completely glued to the upper.

I really want to jump on the 997.5 from Oneness but I've seen pairs that look like crap. Most pairs look like they used a midsole that's a half size too small.

Got my 997.5 in today and thinking of returning them again. Toe dents, asynchronous mudguards and the sole seems to be a little bit misglued. The pairs of two buddies of mine show the same problems. As of late NB quality really hit rock bottom

The indys are a little tempting

Gotta say I prefer the distinct weekender from 2015 over the jcrew dunes

Had a chance to see the HTB's in person today at a J.Crew in Long Island. I must admit that for as long as they've been out I've yet to see them in person. Needless to say they look absolutely phenomenal in real life- pictures really don't do these things justice!!! I've held off long enough but I am now patiently waiting everyday for the moment a promo code accidentally works on the website 

 

[darren502]

It is true! HTB look amazing in person.

 

[zoomin6]

HTB do look great in person, even better with blue laces

Thanks homie but I'm an 11.5

In my experience 1300 might be a tiny bit bigger. I own one of each. Same size.
Both fit fine though.

Be patient. It'll happen again. Pay attention to the expiration dates and always try as soon as a new code pops up.

Last time I got it to work was right at 11:01CT when they extended an existing code.
