No luck for #TeamBigFoot but ripped nonetheless. Great find... $137 shipped is what I'm hoping to pay for those joints when they hit sales.

If I wear an 8.5 in 991.5 am I the same size in a 991?

I would think so. All my UK NB's fit the same. I find them generally to be more snug than U.S. counterparts.

Hmm all of my 1500’s are a size 9. Only my 991.5 are half size smaller, not sure which would be more comfortable for me. Man, life is hard.

NB US slacking these days with the colorways

 

[nonheinous]

They just went all black, selected Ombre in a couple of spots, and called it a day.

I honestly has no idea you could do that until I just tried it.....

 

[bootsybooboo]

Did you dudes actually get 1500s for $10 at SNS?

To be fair, these are nubuck, an option that's not available on NB1. I personally think these are dope AF. They're kind of a tripped out version of the DPHO.

I will not cop, though. My restraint game is strong these days. No new NB purchase in two months - that's a record, guys.

hahah they were trying to make that iridescent tongue and N logo pop by going all black
all it needs is a gum sole

YES. I can't remember the last time I saw a 998 with a gum sole released. I'm sure it's been done. Anyone know?

It's funny how no 998 pair springs to mind, while i can think of so many 1500s with a gum sole.
Waiting on newbalance365 to hit us with the info

 

[mattb143]

Did that CM998NXW years ago have a gum sole?

 

[newbalance365]

i cant think of a 998 with a gumsole...i'd have to dig deep to find one..it might not have been done before

a suede eraser should take care of that

I have never seen it in person and it is hard to tell from pics. May be the closest thing?

Not $10, but...

These look cool but really wish the N was suede instead of plastic
Probably being too picking about things though

Filter looks heavy with this one. What does this shoe ACTUALLY look like?
