6. 670's​

I like the 670 the best then the 575. The rest are just ok to me but none are worth nb retail prices imo.

Same. 991 upper just always reminds me of my pops kicks. Each is own tho

The shades of brown and pink is dope.​

The difference between me and yo pops is I make these joints look good! (Will Smith Voice)​

Couldn't pass these up for $50 CAD.

These are a solid everyday 997 that I've enjoyed more than I thought I would when I outlet swooped them. They do need a lace swap though imo. I put some grey/black ropes in them but there was someone on IG who put some flat waxed grey laces in that matched the darker grey of the collar accent piece really well. Looked ill.

I think this is a regional thing (feel free to correct me) but when I see these I think Baltimore. I believe they are pretty heavy in that area. I will say if I was to ever cop one it would be the surplus joints.

Some sizes of 991.5 back up on nb.com

http://www.newbalance.com/pd/991.5-...lor=Navy_with_Beige_and_Brown&size=10&width=D

Repped!  My size is not up and I am a size 12 in 998.  Should I go half size down or a full size up?

Not really a 991 fan, but the CW with those materials and the sole swap makes all the difference.

I would go a half down with those two options

It's the great cw with fantastic materials on a dad shoe silhouette that creates more of subtle dad shoe look why i like them so much

that being said i am about to cop a full-on orthopedic 990v2 though, so what do i know

 

[APLUS]

I don't really understand the 991.5 hype

I'm with ya'. It's definitely an interesting hybrid but I'm a little surprised it's getting this much attention.

I really wish the 1500's had the same materials/colors as the 991.5. I ended up sending mine back because I wasn't a fan of the leather toe wrap. Slap the 991.5 materials on the 1500 and I would have been tempted to double up.

Gunning for the 670 now.

990 v4 and v3 is the supreme shoe in the philly, dc, and baltimore area

tons of hype building for them in the RF thread though, making me a little worried

Goodness I do not have the expendable income for this. I was secretly hoping Ronnie's next collab with NB would be trash but I actually really like the color blocking of one and the simplicity of the other. That and the fact that they are both miUSA 997.5 is not good for my wallet.

 

[ohwussup]

i don't care for it, dude cut the two 1500 toothpastes in half and pasted it on these

 

[vidiviciun]

These RF 997.5 kind of reminds me of Concept's "Grand Tourer" tbh... Will see what's up come release, but won't lose sleep if I can't grab.. & god bless the RF thread; bunch of vermin swimming around in pond scum... Those are the type of cats who buy KITH toothpicks..​

I know they're some good ones homie.. I guess I've had a lot of expriences from Asics releases that left bad taste in my mouth & just reading the stuff in that thread.. ​

God Bless! I can't even fathom the hype with RF x Ultra Boost.. I just want some all black GR Ultra Boost & I'll be done with Ultra Boost.​
