Sandpaper seems like it would tear denim easily, gonna see if I could look up the process when I head home.

Using sandpaper to distress denim has been around for along time. Really nothing to it, 220 grit sandpaper, deck of cards(as backing or shoe tree in this case), maybe a sharp knife / razor. Go slow and think of how it would wear naturally.

It does but if you use a fine grit paper the "tears" are tiny and create the lighter look that you see on the toe of those ^^^

Ive had this with other brands also. I dont think one has an issue so to speak its just that suede varies from area to area on the hide. When you get shoes with 2 different suedes its very noticable and annoying but its not really a defect.

It's probably pretty noticeable if you're looking at them up close, but I bet you or anybody else wouldn't be able to see the difference on foot.

Has anyone used the "ID" feature on their website to make their own custom NB? I am just curious and would love to see some that you guys have made!

Looks like you got some 997 Geminis lol, sorry, that doesn't help. If it bugs you that much I would just return it and hope to cop later. I would search for the DTE until the return policy is up (if there is one). If you can't find any during that time, obviously you got to keep em.

I was looking recently and it seems they are all around 325$ on eBay. Some have best offer on them. You might be able to get a good price if you try and make an offer.

Anyone come by a 990 Re-issue Size 8, under retail?

right, first sizing question from me in a while but how do UK 670s fit? Pair has come up that i'm interested in but it would be a half size up, i'm usually a half size down in NB's and can go TTS... any help would be good!

To me they fit the same as all other NBs (997/998/577).

do you have any older pairs (pre-2010)? do they fit bigger/smaller?
- Sep 27, 2012

I had 670 Red Devils and they fit SLIGHTLY smaller than the others. I could have gone 1/2 size up and it wouldn't have been that bad,

I've done (3) 574 customs. I have a few ideas for 990s but haven't pulled the trigger just yet.

hahaha I may just pull the trigger on this pair and if they don't deal with them later...
