Sucks you gotta do that for a 3 hundred dollar shoeVery happy with these
Hit the toe with a little iron/reshape action and think it turned out pretty good.

Thanks my man! I have not made a video but I used a combination of an iron and also working the toe over the edge. The iron is easy and a bit scary. I can PM you the steps at some point today when I get a chance.
Thanks dude!
Thanks man! Yeah took a bit of break. Had other things going on and haven’t been buying much lately. Plus the cold is no fun to shoot in.

You’ve got to see the possible finished products at the bottom of the page. It’s basically a Sample Lab/Surplus version of the 998.

Let’s not compare them to SP whose materials/ color choices were far superior to these lol. Seems like some new posters in here were first to get these, coming straight from solelinks and posted no links for fellow NT-ers.

Man, did not even know those 998 surplus was a thing nor releasing. $110 for a pair of MiUSA 998 is pretty nice.
The purple/green pair is nice and wished I had a chance at copping

Agreed that the materials may not be as good as the Surplus pack. And agreed, seems like most long time NTers were caught off guard with this release. I’m looking forward to seeing the actual product, once they make it to their new owners.

Yeah that’s a bummer...Wish NB would’ve sent an email out or something...
Hopefully it isn’t a one off type of thing and they’ll do it again in the future with other models...

No way to extend the NB Reward coupons right? $20 and $10 expiring tomorrow that i redeemed around xmas time. Feel like I'm forcing myself to buy something I don't need. I'd use for Omn1s 3/5 but it expires tomorrow. Can CS extend them?

So those surplus 998's are basically left over NB1's? If that's the case, I'm not too mad I missed them. Since they dropped at 3am, I had no chance at them anyways.

That’s the way I take it...Left over material from the end of the NB1 run used in a random fashion on each sneaker...

THIS is almost always the case man, it's comical how a collab uses 'amazing materials'... which later end up as a accent panel on a GR or less sought after Japanese collab.

Never been very creative using the NB1 tool, but I think this might be the first pair I make. Thoughts? Suggestions for improvement?
