These have GROWN on me.

I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on the Frieza looking one already. I want to acquire the JFGs before them though. I know they'll be dirt magnets in the long run, but they sure look nice in these images.

On feet:

Why is it so hard to find a pair of 993s for a decent price. The grey ones bing in the $300 range ain’t bad but I want the black ones and in a 10 they are taxxxxxiiiinnnn.

i feel you. i'm hoping they restock eventually since NB still has bigger sizes online.

Tried on my 2002Rs again. Crazy comfortable. At first I thought it was just the insole, but the midsole has a perfect balance of firm and squishy. Fascinating that they didn't have the original 2002R midsole and went with the 860v2:

I'd go Rain Clouds. Then grey 992s (they will keep restocking).

Had to give eBay a chance on the 990v3 Tornadoes and for under $300 with 2 day shipping I’m not mad at all.

Need these so bad. Trying to get somebody to grab me a pair but can't. Look great.

I've tried around 10 raffles for these 2002r rain clouds and lost all of them, had 3 friends play for me and same.... it's so frustrating and I cannot justify paying resell for a MiAsia... or at least not what resellers ask for. i'll keep searcing!

New Balance Canada has started shipping stuff in a bag instead of a box. A little annoying...

Same with New Balance Australia

Only if they have black outsole, then yeah they'd be had. Im either between the purple (Lakers) or blue (my kiddo's school color lol).

The auralee 550s only went up to a size 12 right? There's 2 pairs of 13s on stockx.

Pics don’t do justice. In person some angles grey, some almost brown. Not mad I paid resale they were worth it.

Honestly wanted rain clouds and ALD 550s in yellow/green until I saw all the people that copped. I’m personally trying to avoid overhyped shoes but that’s my preference currently. I’d go 993 since they are harder to get atm.

Without a doubt, Rain Clouds. The 2002Rs, right?

I feel like the 993s will restock eventually and I’ll be mad I paid nearly double, but I do want them slightly more being MiUSA

Yes the 2002R

Concepts just came in. Quality surpassed my expectations

 

[mikey23]

I remember the 5740 getting a lot of hate early. Now ya eating them up.

I like them as is. The only thing I'd swap would be their laces. They just need to be around $60 shipped

Watch what I do next to these

just bought one of them

 

[nonnative]

Anybody see any other raffles pop up for the WTAPS 990s? Want them but $315 from END is too much. Gonna take a bunch of L’s but still gotta try.

 

[cpf262]

Let me know what happens. I thought they only went up to 12. Interested to see if someone labeled them wrong.

 

[marcxy]

Been waiting to see people dye these more..

Matcha green, purple, clay, etc.

Today’s on feet. This is an under rated color. Being from Washington DC you always see NB but 9/10 it’s usually something grey, next all black and then navy.

Yes the 2002R

Thought you mean you had a chance at retail. The resale on 993s is Bill Cosby rn, that ain’t fadeable until $250 or lower.

991ani has become daily pair this summer, really enjoying these.
