pretty sure the NB1 997 prices will be ridiculous

same here in asiaThe main problem is that NB1 pairs are ridiculously expensive here in europe ... Won't change for this 997 so i'll probably just try some cw for fun and look at what y'all will do ...
A new pair of GR 997s is 209.99, I can’t see NB1s being cheaper than that. My guess is $230. And i will prob make two right off the bat if the color wheel is decent.
I used one of these when I made my 998s: https://www.newbalance.com/coupons/ (just a reminder for those not familiar). Wouldn't have otherwise, to be honest. I had added a pair of socks for a few bucks to get even more savings haha
What’s the verdict?
on fleek on feetNB needs to take better stock photos haha. They're not as flat as the stock picks look. I like them a lot. Honestly, they feel similar to the v4 in terms of sizing for the mesh pairs. I thought the plastic ankle piece wasn't sewn on the shoe and would bend independently but it is indeed sewn on. Insole feels softer for sure. I will get around to wearing them more as weather allows.
See, not as long and flat as the stock photos, and i wear an 11.5
It's gonna take a seriously incredible cw for me to grab these V5's. They just seem like V4-lite to me in literally every pic (granted, I love the V4 silhouette, unlike many here)
I love the V4s and i know ima love the V5. I feel where u coming from but i think they made subtle advancements that work. But bro if we lucky the V4 will be on NB1 in the near future
Interesting. Re sizing, do you size differently for nubuck vs mesh v4?NB needs to take better stock photos haha. They're not as flat as the stock picks look. I like them a lot.

That’s a nicely executed cw.
I’m looking to playing with the NB1 997 options tomorrow!
Oh wow! I didn’t know that the 997s cost more than the 998s. Numerically, I thought the 998 would cost more cost more than 997. What’s the reasoning behind NB model numbers btw? I’m still a NewB
