migu420 I think that website is fake, they have the rose & tassie devil 574s in stock. Plus the NBs are priced weird ~$110 range.

 

[migu420]

I had a feeling, thanks! The no paypal options made me suspicious.

M1500GT is up on Hanon.

 

[ninjaskills]

Thanks everybody! Yes that page is fishy AF! I have that one on Ebay on my watch list but I would like sub $120

Does anyone remember the spot where you guys were finding Paul Bunyan’s for steep disco?

Marshalls......you might find some on eBay though.

What size are you?

Do you happen to remember where the Marshall’s was located?

 

[jamesandstl]

Damn. I think I saw a pair on Poshmark.com that were an 11.5, but I can’t seem to locate them now.

Might be worth a shot to do a little extra digging. I just tried a quick search.

I don’t know about that. There were a few members in here that saw them in their areas.

Here they are. I don’t know how you feel about slightly “worn” shoes. It’s a steal in my personal opinion.

The PB and BOX showed up at the same time, I bought the BOX at least six months ago by me (Long Island).

Any advice for someone new to NB? Always admired from afar and looking to chill on J's for a while to grab the various runners I've been lusting over.

 

[migu420]

It's a slippery slope once you see the quality. Don't be discouraged by the shape of the newer models because they started putting this weird plastic piece in the toe that messes up the shape, but its pretty easy to fix. We'll help with that. It's getting harder to find the classics, so if you see something, jump. But don't pay top dollar resale, it's a non hype beast market, so they will not go for anything too crazy. New releases often end up sold at a much better price a couple of months after release. Some do go quickly, but it's pretty rare they are unattainable. The best advice I could give would be to hang around and converse, theres some really cool dudes in here!

 

[keytap15]

Awesome. I already have my eyes on a few pairs I want to get my hands on. 997, 998, and 1500 seem to be the most popular models from what i've observed from a collab standpoint. There's a nice pair of 997's with a teal toe and camo tongue that I just ordered to be my first pair. Excited.

 

[migu420]

Hope you didn't get it from the site I posted earlier, ha! All joking aside that is a nice way to start. The 1600 997 and 998 were ones I started with, but the 1300 are one of my favorites. Theres also a 997.5 model which is a 997 upper on a 998 midsole I like a lot, too, but that's not one they do a lot. I'm inspired to do some digging now, thanks!

 

[migu420]

Oh yeah, the distance in quality between made in usa or UK and made in China is pretty far.

Actually, that’s something I’m extremely curious about that I can’t seem to find the answer for. What is the difference between the different locations of creation?

 

[keytap15]

Also, I’ve only seen pairs stamped with either USA or England. Didn’t know there were China pairs as well.

 

[migu420]

Yeah, they dont brag about the made in China, but the made in usa or UK are higher quality materials, and to me, a lot more comfy. The price difference is pretty big, but well worth it. Best example would be either the 574 or the 997.5. If you had both the made in USA compared to the made in china, they look like totally different shoes.

 

[migu420]

Oh yeah, if you dont mind me asking, where and how much did you pick up the 997nm for? Asking for someone who was looking for a size 8.

 

[keytap15]

They're actually still available on Saks Fifth Ave's website for $210. Full size run from what I can see.

 

[getitaway]

I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on those 1500GT for $158 from SNS. That was a big mistake.
