New Balance Deutschland?! Had no idea they opened a new factory. Those Germans would put an end to the quality control issues.

Speaking of nighthawks, if anyone has a lead on 8.5 or 9 I've been looking to grab a pair so shoot me a PM

Does anyone know how leather lined 997s fit compared to non-leather lined? I normally take a UK6/US6.5, wondering if a pair of UK6.5/US7 Rosés would be to big...

I just don't understand the 990v, it screams Kohls to me

Damn, you think? It's a fine line but I think the 990 has a lot of potential depending on who wears it/ how they wear it.

to me, those are one of the shoes that give NB the dad shoe name

I totally agree. I just can't get into 990V models. They really push the Dad vibe in my opinion.

The colorway on this pair i great, but the silhouette just doesn't do it for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the 990Vs either, but these are pretty nice. I do love the colors. How much does that model usually go for?

Made in USA with USA pricing range. Painful.

990V4s retail for $165 which is a fair price point, IMO, especially when you consider most other miUSA GR NBs retail for $190-$220. You can find them on discount everywhere, though, so if you know where to look you can get 'em for low.
I'm sold on the 990V4 - I've seen them in person, seen them enough on feet of friends and fit pics online. They are a dope shoe but definitely an acquired taste. I'm just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger. I got my eyes on just two pairs, the salmon joints and the original grey color way.
Also, I guess I don't mind that they scream "dad shoe" because I'm a dad

It does kinda look like a dad shoe, but the right colorway can help every shoe. I am personally not much of a fan of the grey or salmon ones, but you do you. I'll rep that. I do have a weakness for red, white and blue.....

Dads don't even wear these anymore. Mostly see them on seniors (who technically are dad's but...)

990s are the ultimate dad shoe, don't see too many people besides dads rocking them

This is generally true everywhere except the Philadelphia/DMV area. Philly, D.C., Maryland, Virginia... the 990 is embedded into the culture and it's pretty awesome. @newbalance365 contributed to a great article on Sneaker Freaker mag talking about the phenomenon:

For those of you haven't read it yet, highly recommend it. One of the best write-ups on the 990 I've ever read.
For me this article is just further proof that it's not what you rock, it's how you rock it.
