Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

Haven't had them on feet yet hopefully have something up later this week! How you getting them so cheap?

Great pics! Have any on foot shots of these. Searched instagram with no luck. I got a text from my local saying I could get these for $80 if I wanted. Wont be able to make it by there for another week or so to try them on though. Thanks

Thanks for quick response. He is a really good connect and I buy tons of shoes and clothing from his store. He tries to get me close to store costs on stuff that doesn't move quickly so it helps clear his inventory. He also felt bad because he had to up charge me this weekend to hold my pair of White Aj1 x SB's(Store Owners order) so I'm getting a few pairs of NB's on the cheap! Looking forward towards your pictures.

Cancelled my order at Sportszone Elite

Great communication though. Guy sent me these photos.

Guess why I cancelled. Damn man.




 
Its like a shade between the original DB's and LL's. Sweet if you're looking for a tweener tone to complete the tri-fecta. :x  
These were the right and left of the sane DBs. One was discolored. sadness I haz it.
 
I questioned END to see if they had any info relating to the price rises of US made NBs and the disparity between prices here in the UK and the US and they literally had no answers. They also had no comment when I highlighted that they may lose customers from the UK who will now source US made NBs directly from US suppliers.

Wait. So what should I expect from sport zone?
i also order 998 from Sports Zone Elite and had the same issue with the display shoe, but the guy was cool, got a great deal on the price but it seemed that the shoe was probably a display model. I notified customer service and they offered to discount the shoe or provide a replacement size as  well as a discount on my next purchase. 

Usually got good stuff from them. I would recommend it, at least they give a **** about their customer

US made NBs sold by END imported to the UK. So prices are going to be higher. Since Made in UK NBs are made in the UK they will cost less then US because they don't have pay import fees. I generally buy most of my UK made NBs from END because prices are cheaper than most US retailers... because US retailers have to pay to import Made in UK NBs. Get it?

Of course I understand the concept of import fees, but unless import fees are going up and up it doesn't explain why US made NBs are going up a lot lot more in the Uk than they are in the US.

maybe import fees are going up. i wouldn't buy a US NB from the UK anyways.
 
I'm just jealous of US prices that's all. A bitter Englishman is nothing new haha
