Give this man a New Balance 998 collab, New Balance lol.
He seems like a better fit to New Balance than Nike anyway

Underwhelming in hand when compared to other V3’s this year but still decent.

Out of the two I’m thinking darker green. Still seems like there is a better lace option…?

Black pair from & 993’s

Pink Fuel Cell RC Elite V2s for today's run.



Slowly building back up that stamina.

I need to hurry up and grab a pair of Beef Brocollis.

May be my current favorite from the Teddy Santis collection....

Do you recommend spraying NB’s with a suede protector?

On the fence as I remember spraying a pair of v3s a few years back and over saturating the suede. I couldn’t tell if it actually worked to protect the material from dirt, water tbh as I ended up wearing them a lot

I have yet to suede protect any of my New Balance, but I know I should. I have been running that risk for well over 15 years wearinf New Balance shoes, but I have yet to mess any of them up, save for 1 or 2 pairs I used as beaters. Anyone else recommend a good suede protector?

I use this one from Amazon:

M&B Pro-Tex Water & Stain Shoe Protector (10.5-Ounces), white, (86100Z) https://a.co/d/054JTv0

I wish I knew of these products before I got into NBs, as I messed up a few of my NB1s. SMH.

Resisted long enough but finally looking to get a pair of 550s. How do these fit?

TTS for me.

Good call waiting it out. They’re readily available everywhere now, as the kids and Tik Tok crowd have finally moved on

I used to use crep spray but haven’t sprayed anything in years. I usually just tend to wear the suede/nubuck material when it’s not wet/rainy & im fine. A clean up job every blue moon has been sufficient. Leather pairs I just wear nowadays because… leather. Used to care but haven’t felt the need in years. Maybe I have too many shoes or just figured things wear down with age & to just enjoy while they are wearable.

A Lil late but finally have these.
S/O to never wear them for that AFEW link a week ago.

Has anyone hooped in Kawhi's yet?

 

[vinylbeing]

Recently picked up those two also. The v6 all day comfort is no joke.
