awesome! How's the fit like compared to gr?
I opened it up and it was just a vacuum sealed NB box. Pretty cool idea but I feel like they should have used a custom box. Overall I like the shoe itself more than BS but the special packing of the BS more.

Did anyone buy them? Besides the one above.

The box is a letdown. It should have been a sturdy square box similar to a Concepts box. The outside should have been styled to look like a piece of the lunar module, while the interior should have been dark black, to represent outer space. You could then use the silver foil as the wrapper for the shoes. The shoes would pop in a dark box. Throw in the ice cream and call it a day.
Also the inserts for the shoes should look like the surface of the moon with crators! They are just plain. Small point but could have been a nice touch.
However, they are dope overall in terms of a release. They grew a lot on me as the day passed into night. They are understated yet also quite loud from across the room with dark denim bluejeans. The dark navy mesh is fantastic. The color is it's own unique white and it looks a little different as the light changes throughout the day. The lighter color of the leather, however, will reveal any flaws, scuffs, marks or dirt during the bright light of day. After sundown the shoes really look good. The color blocking will work for any season, even winter if you can keep them clean. Yes Han Solo could have rocked these on iceplanet Hoth.
I also have the Concepts 8Balls to compare the color and leather too. The NB's are really, really nice and a different color.
They fit like any other 997.
Although while I do admit they look a little old man on JCrews website, I can assure you for the discerning gentleman, they are indeed the white fire!

jcrew is good at that. the dark military's look grey indoors and olive in the sunlight. a lot of regular gr's are seasonal- they only really work in spring/summer or fall/winter. that's why gy's and nv's are so great they're 365 wearable

How is the quality of Horween NB sneakers in general? I'm keen on copping a pair of Horween 1300. Thanks.

I've seen the 998s in person, quality is great just bulkier than normal because of the leather. On another note looks like a lot of RL 997.5 are on the way.

not worth full retail, but if you can find them on the low i'd highly recommend them.

Do you already size down for your 997/998s?

From what? I honestly haven't worn anything except NBs in years. For an example for J's (when I did wear them) I was 8/8.5 and for NB and Asics I'm a 7.5/8. I've personally been more comfortable in a 7.5 for 576/670/996 and 8 in 997/998/1500/577

Ah ok tough to figure out then. My true size is a 9.5 but I always go .5 down to 9 for 998/997/577.
