so did UNDFTD.com have the NB FMJ's on their webstore?? My computer freezes everytime I go to their site so I can't check. I was told theywouldn't but sweet if they did. I called UNDFTD LV and ordered black 10.5 and gold 10's. Gold's went quick over there. Mine ship monday but doesanyone have pics??

 

[circlelikewolves]

thread could be sick! wanna see more NB heat! the tongue on them mt580s makes them worth the buy! anyone know where i can get them white/green/blue ones still?

 

[pumplance]

Kinda dissapointed in the FMJ 580's. They're a plastic/vinal material.... thought they were patent leather, and the quality seems good but notgreat. Ordered the gold's on impulse cause UDLV had only 2 pairs left and when I got them I like them more than the grey's. Alife 1300's areamazing quality glad I didn't sleep too much longer on them. This pic is going in the pick-up post too.

 

[jamesyo]

those 580's make me wanna vomit. the arc are nice though

 

[keepie uppie]

how much is retail for the FMJ 580?anywhere i can get them online and shipped to Asia?

 

[airmaxlows]

(with flash)(with flash)

i still got a bunch of new stuff i aint even take pics of yet.. scooped up a pair of the miro NB 1500 X 24 kilates joints this morn.. lookin pretty fly inperson..got some 993sbg's, all of the mtg580 goretex joints, some newer 998 samples.. also doubled up on all the alife 1300s yesterday also... if i toldyall the price dudes wouldnt even believe me... ill try and take some flicks of newer pick ups asap.

 

[pumplance]

^Dude where did you get all the samples? I'm guessing you live in Mass huh cause no one else would buy a UMass fitted, ha! Can anyone get me some24-kilates 1500's for close to retail??

 

[deezyvsop]

"i still need fitteds for most of them"

No, you don't.

 

[jamesyo]

who is this cracker and how do we keep him out of NB? lol

 

[airmaxlows]

i work for new balance; and, why do i not need fitteds for them? because you don't wear fitteds with your shoes? for real, id like to know your thoughts,please sir.

 

[airmaxlows]

ill update with some more flicks later if anyone is even interested... and,

who is this cracker and how do we keep him out of NB? lol



you referring to me?

 

[t21d]

^^^^^^I need an NewEra NB fitted. 7 3/8 please^^^^^^^

 

[airmaxlows]

^ good luck.

NB new eras are kind of hard to come by now. anything you see is all old stock. since NB does not manufacture anything except footwear, they have licenseesproduce anything other than shoes that will be NB branded. unfortunately, new era is no longer NBs hat licensee.. i would love to change that though..

Word. Nice stuff man. I got your PM - thanks in advance....

 

[t21d]

sorry double post.

 

[t21d]

Yeah I passed on those NB fitteds at footlocker about 2-3 years ago, they couldn't sell them to save their lives.

I wouldn't even buy it on a 50, for about $12.00 because the dam thing hadbeen tried on about a million times, freakin head band was all brown/blk and looked like it had been stepped and sat on by the sales associates.

What do you for them, if you don't mind me asking? NB seems like a good company to work for. Maybe Asics too.

And what are your reasons for feeling like you need hats to match all of your shoes? No offense to you because you're doing your thing, but since youasked me I think it's kind of ridiculous to 1. have more shoes than you could ever possibly wear, like most people on NT and 2. have accompanying hats tomatch them.

But I could see how those two statements could easily offend pretty much every member on NT. One thing that probably gets overlooked is that NT is really justa board for fashion. And I've been in that boat, I would always look for nice hats to match my newest sneaker pick ups. Then I did a complete 180.

 

[jamesyo]

yeah i was referring to you. all nb's you posted bar the alife's are trash, and are complete opposite to what a good NB is supossed to be. plus deezyalready broke down the hat thing.

but hey if you like them thats cool i guess

 

[airmaxlows]

its funny to see you catch an attitude because you don't like the NB's i posted. "this cracker" you serious duke? i'd like to know...whats a "good" NB? ill make sure to pass it along over at corporate. you got some 990 backstock and some 1500 collabos and think you're doin it?

and i rock fitteds with my shoes. like it or don't, i couldn't care less. but thanks for breaking it down. i just mentioned it hoping someone couldgive me some direction with a match or two, and they did.. good lookin on the PM, sir.

and as far as having too many fitteds or shoes or whatever else, lets just say a few cats out there look out on the super regular for me... and in turn, imquite generous and i take care of all my people as far as gear and kicks go....i got a grip of flicks to post but forget it. the way dudes is talking in here,why would i? i dont even know what "good" NBs are.

 

[jamesyo]

well i can only base my opinions on what you posted, i am not a mind reader and i don't know what you actually possess.

to me a great nb is a well made (read uk) model in simple colourways with quality materials, namely suede and leather. and i think many others would agree withme on that point. the models i have in mind when i think of this are the 576, 577, 670 and 1500 namely. although there are a host of other quality nb's.

and its not the nb's that you posted that i didn't like, it was your general attitude and use of language, it had me thinking you were just anothertool like 99% of NT.

but go ahead and prove me wrong

I agree, but you come hard at people way too often just because their s*** isn't up to par. its not that serious

 

[airmaxlows]

"up to par"

....a "well made" NB...

my bad... ill make sure we tighten up the quality control for you, sir.

and as far as proving you wrong...how? what have you proved? the only thing i "proved," was that i wanted to bump the NB thread by posting a fewthings i had recently brought home from the office...

you on here trying to call me out to make yourself feel better about your amazing, well made NB collection and i'm the tool? because of my "languageand general attitude?"

we on the internet, man... what a joke. iwake up every day and go to work for NB and its still not that serious..only thing thats serious about it is thepaycheck i get every friday from yall buying all the well made NBs... yall should calm down and just enjoy your footwear. you're welcome for the fineproduct.

not to mention the pair of 990s I posted are a dope pig skin suede and the 670s i posted are UK made with very quality materials..

 

[deezyvsop]

Feels like we're in Jordan.

Let's dead this already, we have enough ISS as it is.

I got around to picking up some 575's in a full size down and I'm thinking these things run huge. I put them next to some stuff in my true size andthey match them lengthwise.

Anyone spot some Black Bart 575's or 575 GRG in US9-9.5, let me know.

 

[jamesyo]

you should have picked up the black bart's from ct when they had the 30% off sale at the start of the year

edit: in no way did i start this thread or post in it my NB's. i have quite a meager collection, and rarely showcase any of them on here. and i did takenote of your 670's. im over it.

 

[deezyvsop]

^Yeah you told me about copping from CT before.

That would have been hard to pass up, they're a decent deal as it is but the smallest size is a US 10.
