Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

No special box but I’m definitely a big fan of it.

 

[Unbalanced]

I only see size 13 available?

Yeah this is my bad. Had all sizes listed as available. But when I clicked on them it was just big and small sizes. Footaction does weird restocks on these though so they may pop back up during the sale.

real talk I’m gonna be kind of pissed if nobody gets a special box

Those are winners problems. I’m still just hoping to get the shoes!

Are there any lifelong suede protectors or just any that last longer than 2 weeks? I’m back and forth on spray protectants, I have enough shoes where I don’t wear the same pair multiple times in a two week period (I’m sure this is the case for a lot of you here which is why im asking) and I’ve never spilled anything on my shoes apart from McDonald’s syrup on some air maxes years ago. feels like I’m wasting money with crep smh.

planning rotations is something I’ve thought about but that’s too much thinking lol

Try Tarrago Nano Protector. I use it on all my suede stuff including jackets. It only needs to be reapplied once a year.

Pretty lame if Concepts not sending out Cods with special box. Would think straight from them, special box, wider release, regular box...

 

[infamousbape]

My cods some today, I got the pre-order so I'm hoping that they come with the special box.

Union de Jordán NB1 997s for work today

I don’t think Eric got a special box with his early pair. So not looking good.

Did the JJJJounds 992 release everywhere already? Just trying to figure out when everyone will have their shipments from raffles, the resale price drops usually around then.

 

[WiscoTerr]

Had the pre-order, no special box here either

I never liked either union 1. These look much better overall to me.

 

[Danslides]

I’m definitely disappointed that everyone didn’t get the nice box.




....On the other hand I found my 327s in the closet and I got all the fixings.

A CNCPT collab without the special box is kind of halfassed, but Ima chalk it up to COVID lol. I know the packaging means a lot, but it’s just a box and it usually messes with the stacking of your normal boxes. Last year I lost 2 special Concept boxes to water, and as long as the shoes are good Im happy.

Is $217.50 shipped (includes tax through eBay) for the Bodega X Racers in 10.5 too much? I really don't want to pay that much over retail, but haven't seen prices drop all that much.

 

[peteypablo555]

Is $200 shipped for the Bodega X Racers in 10.5 too much? I really don't want to pay that much over retail, but haven't seen prices drop all that much.

if your heart yearns for them I think it’s OK

I’d say that’s pretty fair. At the end of the day it’s all subjective tho. I don’t see the price on those getting much lower either. I say DO IT!

No, Europe is still set for raffles/releases.

 

[getitaway]

Thank you both peteypablo555 GratefulReb . I rarely ever pay over retail for sneakers, but for some reason I find myself looking for these every day and that price is the lowest I've got someone to accept so far. Going to jump on it.

Concepts' special boxes are extremely lazy. They're just bigger boxes to hold the shoe box. While the exterior design may be cool, they're just a waste of space and cardboard imo.

Concepts boxes are cool and all but they mess up my stacks like crazy lol. I have like 6 or so of them and any one that has come with the regular NB box in addition, I just use that. With that being said I would still prefer to get it if given the option

what a disgusted thing to admit too.
