9. A quick eBay search and I found a new listing for $90 shipped... don’t think I can beat that

 

[migu420]

Boom. That's a good price.

In other words, "worn to school, to the mall, getting high at my friends house, to the arcade, to the grocery store, on a date, etc"

How is the quality for the 997DSLR?

 

[reefer jazz]

The quality on the 997dslr is really good. Nice combo of leathers. I’ll try to take some pics later

How is the quality for the 997DSLR?

Other than the suede fading a bit too quickly, really good. One of my most worn pairs

 

[badpriorities]

wore 'em today in fact. Great pair. Cop if you can.

I'm also digging the perf toe. Tempting.

My pick-up and wear today.....threw them on once they arrived this AM. J Crew x NB 998 "Port" (M998JB1)

 

[ohwussup]

I need your help guys with the stussy I picked up for a legit check. I just noticed the box is different from my SR4 and the label font is different. Anyone seen fakes of these? I know they exist when I was hunting I came across sites that had it for $65 and such.

Also the mesh on the toebox is a little loose and "flimsy"compared to the SR4 which is pretty taut.

Thoughts? With @qooman permission I can give the boutique I got it from which I thought is legit

Spoiler: pictures

Bonus shots of stain, anyone know how to clean? Especially the yellow lip of the midsole that black is nasty. Already tried soap and water.

 

[squizzy3000]

Here are some shots of mine.

ohwussup - your kicks are legit as far as I can tell. Don't let the label trip you up- I've seen plenty of NB boxes with the thinner font (none on I own but I've seen it plenty of times when hunting for kicks at the NB outlet here).

As for the flimsy toe box- my pair came with that exact same problem as well where one pair had a flimsy looking toe box. Could just be a QC issue. As an FYI, I bought my pair directly from SNS.

As for the stain- did your pair come with the suede dust bag? There were reports all over IG about that dustbag jacking up the suede on pairs. My pair came stained and so I actually contacted SNS and they gave me a refund that bought my total down to $115. Some professional sneaker cleaner like SneakersER should do the trick, honestly. Soap and water probably isn't gonna cut it for this.

I'm fairly certain these were a NB1 that Concepts did. Your best bet is waiting for NB to change the color wheel so that burgundy suede will be an option. They're a nice looking pair but they're nothing special- they weren't a "true" collab.

As for what you paid for C-notes... my personal philosophy is never pay resell, lol.
