See I completely forgot the Kanye connection 
...Maybe I’ll skip on the UA-S pair then...Less of a headache if I just focus on the Dune 997’s...

The last time an NB sold out feels like eons ago. Last Kith x NB miUSA collab was the Mykonos pack and those were such an easy cop- they even had to do the magical "sold out" even though they had plenty of stock available in a lot of sizes. Even with all the potential hype surrounding this release there are way too many other sneakers releasing that day that I'm sure that we'll all eat. Only two more weeks!

Yeah, it's been a slow year for NB, so I'm ok with overspending on a couple of pairs I really like.

The crappy thing is that I actually am a fan of United Arrows clothing. 
Would love to get the 997.5.

They're a 997, not a 997.5. And they will be easy to get because this isn't an Off-White or Tiffany Dunk or some other shoe with hyped resale value. So I think we'll all be ok

Never understood the KITH brand, maybe if he created some pieces with subtle branding I’d be interested. His NB collabs are always good imo.

My apologies. I thought they were actually retroing the exact model Ye wore.
Im happy to hear that there wont be crazy hype on them if that's the case.
Im a big fan of United Arrows.
I'm actually really trying to double up on their 990v4s.
I got so much love for that shoe. whatmoshepark is saying
I dont think there will be much trouble grabbing either RF New Balance thats dropping
Just what I love to hear.

Just waiting for V4 to stop circulating so they can add it to the NB1 program...hopefully.

We say don’t worry but the reality is Ye backed these, RF is hyping it and he’s not a fan of letting his shoes sit. So I wouldn’t expect them to sit that long. Will deff be ready to go once they drop.
Edit:
Those 990’s are fire, Q4 is going to put a dent in my wallet.

Gentlemen...
I'm blind. I didn't even notice the Kith insoles lol. I just genuinely liked the cw. Now that I see they're by Kith/RF, my chances of owning them will plummet lol

The 998 will always have a special place in my heart because it’s the first pair of NBs I ever bought (Premiers), but the v4 is my favorite model right now.
