I found my sz for 197$ shipped DS , is that a good deal ?

 

[higuy]

considering end just had a restock on them for $99 like a week or so ago, id say no. they didn't get much love during the normal release a couple years ago and sat and were clearanced then.

I haven't purchased a Made in U.K. pair before and I want to get my hands on the M576SRB & M576SBR in a UK 6 (US 7). Is there any sites besides END & Hanon-shop(aren't offering my size) that I will be able to get these from?

Guys do not sleep on this book, every brand is in here w the dopest pictures. I bought it on amazon for $30 and I found out today they dropped the price to $20. Hard bound, big book very well made. Here are some pics

 

[footsoldier]

I picked that book up about a month ago and agree, pretty sick. A lot of interesting bits on collabs from the past few years.

The point is that there's a whole bunch who are looking for a shoe that never gets discounted, and you come in with a comment about how you got them for less. Obviously people are going to want to know why, because they want to take advantage. Without you stating any other info, it just seems like you're being an *** and gloating.

We have seen so many pictures but now we finally know the name of the collection, check out more detailed shots and video of a recent display at the NB Manhattan store.

That moby **** pack is nice. 990, 997s. even those usa 574s look good......alotta heat!!

 

[abizzle23]

These all look good. Gonna be an expensive few months coming up. From sneaker news

Time to start setting some cash aside. 2014 has been mediocre not counting the 997's but NB is definitely about to finish the year strong.

It's good to see the solid color blocking on the 996 again. There really hasn't been a release since the lollipop pack that has caught my eye until now.

Just wanted to add some feedback re: 1300NWs quality:

Just picked up my pair from my local shop (got an email as soon as they came in since I've been calling them about it

).  For some reason, I expected them to be a hairy suede - it's nice nubuck - but copped anyways cuz I love the color.

Noticed some faint 'whiskering' on one of the heels and one of the mesh toes was slighty creased (even though my sz 13 got a bigger box that NB usually gives me) but looks fine when you have your feet in them.  The left shoe is flawless.

Not sure if everyone is just being extra OC or I'm just easy going (plan to wear them a lot this summer so I will beat on them anyways) - but quality is acceptable to me -- not expecting perfection on every shoe.  They look

on feet -- one guy wore them out as I was walking into the store.

Preordered the 997PR. Hope they are worth the tag. So far, pics look pretty good.

 

[mrgogetit]

Just curious ya'll, what's the most you've dropped on a pair of NB?

If you don't mind, how much and what was the shoe?

$205 1600 Benjamin's..

 

[boozeandshoes]

My bank account hurts just thinking about some of these upcoming releases. 

 

 

[ohwussup]

are there any pictures of the cncpts 997 yet?

 

[da-shocka]

First time coming in this thread. Just wanted to say that the authors collection is beautiful!!! Are these out in stores already?

First of them should be popping up june/july timeframe. So not yet but should be very soon.

 

[kicksiscrackv2]

Meh, I copped my pebble blue 998 for 70...but @remedy444   already knows why. (wife caught a Jcrew gift card for cheap on some buy/sell site )

As for the prices on the 997PR....IIRC 260 WAS US Retail. Now, normally it is much cheaper to buy from US vs overseas on a US made, but I said eff it and copped. When END had them at 240 I tried to cancel my Hanon order but now END is sold out anyway.

Does anyone know for sure if the 997PR will indeed be 250-260 US retail. Yeah, Im cheap so I would have loved to save a buck, but these look pretty amazing.

thanks for the info man. Much appreciated.Gotta start buying some nb, quality looks amazing!

I have a feeling homie with the $120 Pebble Blues either knows someone who got him a discount or he opened up a J Crew credit card and used the promo coupon code for first timers. 

My guess these are the only two ways to get any sort of discount on NB at J Crew.
