I'm glad you like them. The theme and concept is dope, but I think most people don't like the color combination/panels. This seems to be the case for the Daytona's as well.

favorites this year, still working on getting some of these
1. c-notes - liked these a lot more than the mints but mints are still pretty nice
2. jcrew pebble blues
3. daytonas
4. hyprcats - although I think I like the inspiration more than the shoe lol
5. autobahn pack
would you guys say there's more toe room in the 998 compared to the 1600 or vice versa? I'm like in between a 12 and 13 in the 998.. 12 is kinda snug, 13 has some extra room in the front lol. trying to figure out if I can get away with a 12 in the 1600

trash is pretty harsh. i liked the jou louis, it's a clean shoe. i passed on it for a couple of other releases, but i thought it was a nice clean shoe. made in uk would've been better just as the americana's (ironic name for a shoe made in asia)
top '13 in nb collab and gr for me
tannery mints
c-notes
all the 990's
np 1500's tans
country fairs
americanas
daytonas
honorable mention to a handful of the gr 998's, pebbles, gnr, ro, mb.
grabbed a few 1300's in '13 but was slightly underwhelmed by their colors. '14 looks promising for the 1300's though.
996, the color pack was nice.
all in all i'd say nb put out a lot of great kicks this year. still salty about missing out on the grey 990's...

Trash is a mean word, but I do agree BuddhaChris' feelings about Joe Louis NB though. It's too monotone and plain. I wouldn't buy it even if it was under $100. There are just way better shoes out there for me to wear with the outfit I'd wear with Joe Louis NB.

For me the biggest problem with them was not changing up the materials, going with all plain black leather on the toe was rather boring. Quality of the leather is nice in person.

I got the Daytonas as well and it has not arrived yet. But i like the colourway though and it represents a memory of RF as well.
I'm an Asian, so i don't mind the asian made 577s or 1600s or 998s or what. Just hate those asian made 574s, cos it hurts my leg like a b*tch! LOL

Those Q3 996's are a definite yes. Great looking cw.

Agreed. And I'm guilty of sleeping. I saw them last night at my local J Crew Men's Shop and I will definitely be grabbing a pair after Christmas.

same. i think part of the reason it's absent from peoples lists is that it didnt see a US release, and prices were ridiculous, so not many people got a chance to give them a look.
i hate that it's asian made, but man the colorway was just on point. im a sucker for purple.
the tannery was an interesting colorway as well

My top 5 would be 5 pairs of C-Notes 
IMO no other colorways come close. But Tannerys, autobahn nights, autobahn days, and hyper cats would round out my top 5 for real.

Anyone else notice 1600's popping up in their local Foot Locker?
I saw two pairs last night (red and blue). It definitely took me by surprise.
