the gold and black plastic is killing an otherwise great shoe

Sorry for not posting this in the initial post, the colorway is known as the 'greenback' dropping 10/15

Colorway is great, but man those stock photos J. Crew puts out are atrocious. I'll be in on these for sure. 

Where did you find the photo by the way?

Here we go...

All i see is green bay packers.   put a G instead of the N and there you have it.   i'm still on the fence....

Don't really own any green clothing/ shoes, depends on the shade but these do nothing for me.

Nope nope nope (unless its just the terrible jcrew pictures...)

LeBron High school colors. That black plastic throws them off a bit .

I'm in 100%! I hope this is a sign of things to come.. J. Crew realizing that they cant release sub-par 998 drops no more like the Royalty & Wines and now dropping boutique level collabs..​

Don Magic Juan will rock the hell out of those

not sure about those leprechaun 998's

i bet painting the midsole stripe white would make them look a little better though.

that mudguard looks monstrous... and absolutely no fan of golden accents in any cw, so i'll pass. good thing my 998bb arrived today

Super dope! Concepts box and teh extra laces?

General question; What do you guys think is a fair price on a non SD pair? Like 8ish/10 condition wise. Never should have sold mine but they were a bit too big

Yep all there. I literally hate that box as I hate ALL concepts boxes. 

 

[whoisthisguy]

JCrews look great but their stock photos sure don't make the shoe look appealing but I may cop. Trying to save enough cash for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

 

[badpriorities]

Sucker for that jcrew quality, but can't say I'm feeling the green much

I was thinking Celtics. Goes with the Saint Patricks day jerseys.

i need a different picture i think before I make a decision.

Are these Greenback going to be available online or only in-store? Article depicts that they're only available in store.​

I'm sure it will be both online and in-store. J. Crew has never done an in-store exclusive like that.

The more I look at them the less I like them. The shade of green on the perf suede is kinda weak. Why is it so hard to make a good green suede sneaker, a deep, rich dark green without any added junk.

Bit the bullet and grabbed the 998DPHO from ebay for $180.  Excited to get them in.

Speaking of monstrous mudgaurds, this just came in.

I passed on the surplus pack cause I saw some funky shapes. These were on sale so I got them. Tired of this bs....

Looking for a 997NV size 8.5 or 9 for a good price if someone can help me out.

If you're looking for retail:

http://packershoes.com/collections/...b-new-balance-m997-navy-2?variant=21921570311

You can always wait it out until Black Friday when Packer goes 50% off everything and hope it lasts till then

Here's a much better pic

My 998BB's just arrived too. Worn twice, they still got the factory smell. Mudguard/shape of the right shoe is also larger than the left. At least the factory cut has been consistent throughout the years lol. J crews are a little disappointing.

Wow repped! I always thought I was a 9 (I wear 9 in most Nikes and NB) how do these run?
