So down on NB right now not sure I'll ever be back. Worst part about it is i can't even sell the pairs I still have.

I’d actually rank these first based on in-hand pics like this one. If they’re 8.5 and you don’t want let me know.

 

[squizzy3000]

Sorry for the duplicitous post but I haven’t posted a bodega pic in a while and I had a NB friend on the mat as well.

if you’ve got some size 9s you don’t want, let me know g

edit: and others of course. there’s a handful of size 9 fam in here.

 

[Testostyrannosaurus]

Honestly this was the colorway I originally wanted when I found the pack, but I would’ve been cool with any of them. My first pair of 1500s

I guess, when it comes right down to it, it just shows what a horrible idea this marketing ploy is. I just spent 200 bucks for something I'll literally never wear, and I had zero control over it.

Blech

You had equal chance to get the color you wanted and that's the chance you chose to take. Im still waiting for my 1500's and I bet they won't be my favorite of the pack

You could always return them, but if you are in the US your gonna lose out on shipping...

I mean, technically speaking, for NB it was a great one because you ended up purchasing when you otherwise wouldn’t have, no? Blind bag concept in full effect. Wouldn’t zero control mean being forced to buy it, or not knowing what any of the cws would be at all?

 

[bigstress]

Arrived...got the 1500 I wanted..1530 nah....

 

[jaynev]

Congrats dude
They look killer!
How pumped were you opening it to find that pair in there?

Yea! Slivered the silver wrapping and peeked and saw the teal pop!

 

[threegeees]

Amazing that dudes hit on multiples and I’m sitting here with zero

Instead of the blind bag concept which sold out bc it relied on people being hopeful and not fully knowing what they were purchasing, NB should have just made the kakkerlak pair a GR. Probably would have made the same amount of money if not more and everyone would have been happy. Seems like no one cares nearly as much about the other pairs.

 

[thecheef]

Hate to be that guy.. But I'm glad I didn't get selected on those NB randoms, they just aren't as good as they looked in promo pictures

But...you fell for the ploy.

You won. Colorways are garbage anyway.

 

[itaintralphtho]

Sold these a while back for $150+ and just bought them again for $80.

Yup

the pair I wanted just not enough to risk getting any of the others.

For how much everyone was complaining about NB doing exclusives this is the most activity I have seen during a release since I have been (in my short time here) on this board.
