uhhhhh, CNS much?
No doubt. Lol. Also, I think you can pretty much great that on NB1 for like 60 bucks cheaper.
I actually do like them and that would have been pretty much a "poor man's CNS"

Did anyone ever get shots of the NB1 suede swatches from the new wheel?
I haven't come across any NB1s that used the mint cream or dark cyan colors.
I saw post on IG where someone used moroccan blue and it looks completely different than online.
remy Ive got an NB1 using the Dark Cyan for the toe wrap and embroidery coming in tomorrow.
I'll post some in hand pics when I get a sec.
Sweet! pretty excited to see what you came up with.remy Ive got an NB1 using the Dark Cyan for the toe wrap and embroidery coming in tomorrow.

When did you order? I ordered Friday afternoon and am still waiting for shipping on my pair too.I had to Google the dark cyan color and I hope my NB1 came out right.
Now I'm very interested to see the color in real life
I haven't heard anything about my pair shipping. I'm getting antsy!!! Lol
Sweet! pretty excited to see what you came up with.
I have a bunch of ideas I want to do but prefer to know the exact color before ordering.

Ut oh lolI ordered Sunday, but a member said I should hear something by today. Oh well, I'm just excited to get them and hope the color is right, but judging by what you just posted, I might have botched it lol
ATM 998s are dead to me
Oh my brother.. Why thou sayeth such a blasphmous statement?
I liked his first NB1 collab (Black And Tan's) These new joints tho....
So do y'all think the days of J. Crew and New Balance 998's collabs is officially exhausted?
Lately I have fallen in love with the 998ATM 998s are dead to me
I think that it'll be a while before we experience the glory that was Concrete Jungles, Pebble Blues, Hilltop Blues, Nighthawks, etc... those were bangers and in hindsight I wish I had copped a couple of these pairs that I passed on initially. The most recent beach ball inspired 998 is a sham, IMO.
I know that there's been complaints about QC and shapes but to me those aren't the reasons that I personally think the 998 is in a funk. I personally think that NB1 introducing the 998 silo has contributed to the 998's current state of malaise. Seriously, some of you guys have produced some brilliant NB1s that could easily have passed for GRs or collabs and have gone on to be copied by others (I can't remember how many times I've seen remy 's Dusty Blossom joints reproduced on IG and I am pretty sure he was the first to do it- correct me if I'm wrong). But that's also been to the detriment of the model. I think the 998 has lost a bit of its mystique and status as a result. I find myself hunting for older GR 998s or playing with concepts on NB1 but I'm rarely attracted to the newer color ways. Maybe if NB ever decides to pull it from the NB1 program they'll give it a chance to regain its footing.
I know a lot of us in here have vouched for the 997 to be brought into the NB1 program but I think it would do the exact same thing. I've talked with NB employees before about this and they share the same sentiment... dear NB don't kill the 997, please. Recent models seem to be on the upswing with better construction (those 997CSU have fantastic shapes reminiscent of the first run of reissues). Hope it stays that way.
