Official NB basketball thread

Sunsets drop thursdai, curious to see how quick they do or dont go considering the Kawhis are comin soonish

NB changed their strategy for the Omn1s starting with the last "Inspire": all Omn1s drops going forward are going to be much easier to get { available at DGS, FL, SP} and NB employees can now use their employee discount on the Onm1s... i'm hearing the new "Kawhi" shoe will be a tuff get, i'm hearing even harder to get than the original Omn1s drops... for what it's worth: i was told Kawhi was not signed to make money so much as to promote the NB brand.

ahhhhhh VERY VERY interesting, and a great marketing strategy if you ask me. I do remember you saying omn1's would be easier to get once we gt closer to the official Kawhi drop.Hell they got me back already, i havent worn NB in 10 years, now i cant get enuff, most comfortable rides ever BAR NONE, in fact about to hit hibbets for some 997s soon as they open.

thaks for the info midd44

@ EZMONEY SERVANT @ rafbuddy if you're just looking for a comfortable shoe that's more price friendly than the USA 997s {which are a great shoe just pricey} check out the 801s

Been wanting to pick up a pair. Kind of like nbs version of the air max 95

Looks like there are coordinates on the back heel sole rubber. Also this clear sole I think u can see some tech at the bottom... maybe a spring plate similar shape to the carbon fiber on the Jordan 11's? INTERESTING...

 

[noblekane]

thats the best colorway yet.

if they are really more limited than the omn1s thats a huge mistake by new balance.

los angeles is a huge market and the basketball public is thirsting for an affordable alternative to nike.

couple that with the clippers possibly winning a title

should leave the limited collabs to entertainers

Just saw some Kawhi NB commercials during a laker game. Hopefully they're gunning for more GR releases, and not just guaranteed sell outs.

[dcypoe81]

that pattern isnt growing on me AT ALL

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

STRAIGHT piff, WOW

Sucks when players have to wait until 6 or 7 years in for a sig, a la kobe...when their playing career is over and you're only on the 8th-10th model...just seems like sigs go downhill after retirement.

 

[tigo0240]

Kobe split his time with Adidas though.

Kawhi got stuck in JB purgatory. JB sigs (no matter how good they are) just don't sell. CP3, Melo, Westbrook...



Jordan himself really only played in the 1, 3-8, 11-13, and a bit of 16-18.

Makes it pretty impressive that Lebron is on 17 (plus soldiers and takedowns) and he's played every year, in every sneaker.

 

[noblekane]

wonder what the story is on that ramen noodle side panel? they should switch it up on different colorways

inspired by kawhis love for spaghetti

 

[jaynev]

Thought I saw “brain” texture lol no lie

wonder if the NB $20 off 100 code works for omn1s tmrw

 

[I_AM_BORED]

 

[jaynev]

Wow $111 with code

 

[gopre5k]

That sunset pack is not releasing for a few weeks. Whoops.

 

[gopre5k]

Also nice to see the original pattern used on this pack.

The new pattern is terrible. Reminds of 'brain coral'.

 

[Public Enemy]

It's a shoe, not an Aquarium Lobby

The coordinates are to a home in Moreno Valley. Maybe the house he grew up in? It's very close to the middle school and first high school he attended.
Coordinates on heel
