I'm sure failure will be the outcome, but I'll give it a go on the Tassie's tomorrow. I love the 998 silhouette

But what is there to keep track of besides member names? Look at Team AMFAM. Those dudes have a GRIP of members and they're going on 7 years strong. Granted, getting approved there can take time, but there isn't a cap on how many people can apply. In short, they aren't trying to be exclusive. 3 people a month out of the thousands that post on NT? That's crazy.Anymore and the group will get out of hand in a quickness. It's already really difficult to stay on top of things over there. The 3 a month amount was voted on. there are exceptions to the rules....3 people a month? Sorry if this sounds elitist? What happened in here?
In creating a community via Team NB, you're really excluding a lot of people with the way it has been implemented. I personally have no desire to be part of any team, so no, I don't feel excluded. But why cap applications at 3 a month? To limit resellers? That doesn't even make any sense. You think resellers give a **** about a team?It's still fairly quiet here compared to a ton of other threads. It's always just a very hyped up release that causes increases in traffic and posts here and other threads.This thread was so much better when it was barely 100 pages and it would only increase by 5 posts a day, displaying release info, future releases, pictures, etc.
Now I leave for a week and there's 50+ pages... lol I guess NB is gaining popularity here on NT. Not hating, do your thing guys... by the time any link or info is posted here, the shoes will be gone anyways.
If any of you don't want to be a part of team NB, that's your prerogative. This thread is still very much the meat and potatoes of the new balance love on niketalk, don't get it twisted. We created the "team" to feel more like a community to keep resellers out. Releases like tassies and fingercroxx caused a lot of issues and now we see pairs going for $200-300 above retail all over the place. Granted, resellers will resell no matter the circumstances. Sorry if you feel excluded or that "thangs done changed". Times change, people are more thirsty for information, and you never know who is a reseller and who is not on here. Take a look at the Roshe thread. My god.
you did thank you, I'm confussed with your sizing but I will go tts 10.5 when I search for those hanon 1500s, I heard gripes about the nice kicks model, but I now know why the hanon 1500I only started getting 1500s last year. Started with NiceKicks grey/red pair and thought they were awesome. Then I got the 2 Crooked Tongues (Made In England) collabs and I thought they were great, I instantly realized why everyone was complaining about the shape of the NiceKicks. Then I got the Hanon CHF and I was convinced that the Crooked tongues shape was not a proper representation of a good 1500 shape either. The Hanons are absolutely perfect. It seems like NB is back on track with made in England 1500s since the Hanons.
I never truly understood why dudes would complain so much about shape until i had a few different 1500 in front of me. Even the difference between the CT and Hanon was a shocker considering they are both made in England.
Even the sizing was all off and they all fit similar and comfy
Nicekicks = sz 11
CT = sz 11.5 (my usual nb USA size)
Hanon = sz 12 (my true size for everything else)
Not sure if i answered your question, but i figured i`d share.
oh man, such a disadvantage for big footers, especially for how much you probably paid, I'm sure you can resell but better get your size locked down first if you ever consider itYeah man, those Hanon's fit absolutely true to size (my legit size of 13, not my NB tts which would be 12.5 typically- depending on the model). My 12's fit so damn snug

Take a look at the Roshe thread. My god.You dudes act like you're privy to info that nobody else on the internets is. Like you said, times have changed--this is 2013 and nothing is a secret anymore in this age of Twitter, IG and FB. Will you have randoms come into a thread right before a hyped release and try to glean info? Sure. But those dudes get no love regardless. But trying to limit info pertaining to random restocks, coupon codes, etc? You're fighting a futile battle, IMO.
Btw, I have no issue with the team concept--just the feigned exclusivity of it. Set your requirements, screen applicants accordingly and let all who desire to be a part of the team apply whenever they want. If it's really about the shoes, the number of members shouldn't matter as long as they contribute, word to Team AF1 (who doesn't even have an application process, but is on their 6th Volume).
No one is trying to alienate anyone. Just because we put a cap on the # of members, doesn't mean our intentions are to alienate; in fact, we're attempting to do the exact opposite. If you want to call us out on that, point the fingers at Team AM, Jordan, Roshe, and all the other "teams" on here, as well. We're not the first to do it, and we won't be the last.I came to this thread because I have been quietly accumulating NB since around 98 and welcome that opportunity to share that interest with others. I have stayed with it as its atmosphere was so much more welcoming than the other threads in here. Upto about two weeks ago that is when all this Team NB debate started and people started getting told off for Avatar use etc. I don't mind if you have an exclusive team or not I think the most important thing is that by doing it the thread does not loose what's so good about it- mature, helpful and considerate and above all respectful to all constructive contributors. A team with restricted membership will always seem elitist wether that's its intention or not in any field. Have the team of course as is your right but try not to let it alienate genuine contributors with a passion for the subject as a result.
same in Denver - all Jordan everywhere... there's one spot that gets New Balances here (nothing really exclusive) and to show you how little hype NB's have in Denver, they still have a good amount of pairs of the grey/teal ML999GT from about a year ago and the black/red M999BR's from 2011 sitting on the shelves.no hype in texas. lol. im wearing my tassies at the mall right now around a sea of jordan breds, and no one gives my nb a second look. thats the good part of here. bad part is they are on the dl here and theres no where mortar to cop

Clutch: here is the pair you are looking for phinsfan: http://us.asos.com/New-Balance-Made...rt=-1&clr=Blue&xr=1&mk=na&r=3&mporgp=L1Byb2QvWhoever is looking for the 670 should check out www.asos.com They have both colorways (and a fair amount of sizes) for $150 shipped both ways. If you register as a student, you get 10% off every purchase you make, and they're currently offering free 2-day shipping for purchases above $140.
Respectfully disagree. I think people are turned off by the high Aussie retail and exclusion of NA, but they'd sell well as a GR, as many other GRs do, not sit. Would they fetch crazy resale as a GR, nope. Maybe that's what you meant?If these were a NB GR they would be sitting.
Nice pickup dude! Prly my favorite 1500 that I own...suede is toooooo nice.Today's mail
