Special delivery , these got in sooner than I expected and to settle the if its blue , purple , blurple,....they are light gray with an indigo vibe with that said imo these >>> Navy's and not cuz I have em but Navy's are lackluster especially compared to other blues in the NB range

Here's a pic comparing my purple retro nuptse that I just happen to have out .....as y'all can see no purple, you can maybe get away and say it's a light lavender almost but still not purple

Didn't want to go in the stash and pull out another pair of purple shoes so hope this helps

I like but I'm out on these. Tha is for the pic confirmation. Was hoping these were closer to purple/lavender. Don't need anymore indigo colored kicks. Shooting for the fuscia/pink protection pack and at this point any one of the 3 JFGs.

The highs seem to fit a better than my lows.

Better fit at your usual TTS or half size down? Even as a semi wide footer half size down fits best for me on the lows....collabs or GRs. Been thinking about grabbing the blue 650s since NB still has them up

Got em in today. The 11 fits fine, my usual miUSA size, but I don't love this shoe. If anyone wants em for retail lmk

I also hoped for them to be Purple. I still like them, but I’ll hold off for now. I’ll use the funds I was planning to spend on those for the Sage JFG 993s instead.

That blue colorway is appealing...I like the contrast of the suede with the mesh and the different shade blue accent on the midsole.

Here’s that same image without all the text.

It’s the Sage cw all the way for me now.

I find it weird that everyone **** on the Pattas, but seem to love the JFG sage...Colors look pretty similar to me.

I was at work and missed that link for the orange…. Hope it easy come Thursday

Sure, if you’re blind. Which is the only way I guess you could miss the bright ***, slime green hits on the Pattas.

Patta has fluoro green too much, but I like both Patta and JFG sage

I might be the only one that's really eyeing the pinks , but one thing at a time and them PB 1500's been calling my name

i should have wrote color, not colors. obviously i meant the color of 95% of the shoe, not the two lines where it looks like a ghost jizzed on them.

 

[vinnuendo]

Very different shoes. 993 pic from ty of course. Sole is the big difference and what makes the 993 much better IMO. And the lime green hits disrupt the pattas as they're meant to. Nuances like these are kind of NB's thing anyway. 1300CL and CLS, 990GY2 and GR2, etc

For me, it’s how the outsole color and midsole accent color(s) complement the upper well. It has a smooth flow to it.

TTS, lows seemed a bit tight.

JFG again today.

 

[perfectchaosrei]

NT: not sure how I feel about these new JFG colorways..

[aceofjays]

ultimately its how you throw it together that will determine which is the best colorway, imo of course.

Passing on the Arctic Blues now, and I’m all in on the Sages.

I‘m choosing 1 pair, Pokémon style and green is gonna be my “settle color”/the last one I attempt, if we gotta go for all 3 at once. Whichever color I get it’ll be “my best”
