Can we get some 997 collabs any time soon?

 

[up your pujol]

Are those actually a "What the" pair? I see tannery and c-note vibes.

I always like carbon fiber hits but the rest of the shoe looks pretty meh.

It's like a "Lira" 998 gone wrong.

Please say it ain't so.

Those are pretty nice. Mainly cause the carbon fiber. Otherwise they'd be average actually.

 

[snapreme]

The carbon fiber kills it imo

 

[gunnarxcii]

Just gimme that Carbon Fiber option on NB1 and I'm good.

Can't wait to hear the inspirational back story on these...

 

[remy]

They actually look like an NB1 creation.
Which is kind of lame.

 

[drisk34]

i'll wait for high quality shots. im not sure right now

I'd cop those on a hefty discount, which wont happen.

I think there clean. I'm sure concepts photos will look fire. Anyone have a price?

idk how i feel about them.. i like the back of the shoe but the front.. idk

 

[jerkstore]

I think they're pretty damn ugly.

I think they're pretty damn ugly.

I concur, ugly color clash imo...

Easy pass on those Cnctps, already have C-notes.

Does it seem like the toe wrap on the 998s just gets bigger and bigger?

 

[abovedahype]

Cncpts are ok

Yeap, we getting more suede in the wrong place.

 

[rune04]

Yes and it's a shame

End has some pretty good discounted Made in USA/UK's in assorted sizes. I'm not sure why I even browse their selection sometimes I wear a 13 which they never have but thought I would post the link in case anyone saw something in their size.

Concepts putting out meh stuff just like Ronnie.  Looks like someone put a carbon fiber cellphone skin on a GR shoe..

 

[gunnarxcii]

Well, I tried. get some carbon decals and save $100 probably lol

 

[spacedoodoo]

need more pics on those concepts... can't really sure if they're a cop or not.

That pic of the horween NB1's is the worst I have seen, I wonder if they didn't do that intentionally to use less Herringbone. Not sure what the going rate for "suede" is these days lol but I assume its a lot cheaper to buy in bulk vs herringbone.

the more i look at it the more the carbon fiber bugs me. probably passing. and its a 998 so that makes it easier. if it was a 997 i would've considered getting them
