998 customs were spoken about by employees at the actual store that handles the 574/990/993 customs. they said this summer, which could still be a couple months away. exciting to hear it's possibly this week.

Did anyone manage to grab the Concepts x NB 574? I don't remember seeing it here...I also haven't seen any pairs on the secondary market. What's resale look like for a size 13?

I grabbed a pair. supposedly there were only like 96 pairs or something, which would explain why theres nothing on the resell market. Also they were just a concepts exclusive, not an actual collab

when people refer to reshaping the toe box, how do you do that?

Basically, the quick and dirty way is to put a damp/wet washcloth over the toe and make passes over it with a decently hot iron. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials out there. Some outcomes look pretty good, others don't, and I've heard varying results on whether it's a permanent fix or temporary, and occasionally some color damage to the material. I've never personally tried it though, so this is all secondhand.

Ok so I got my first ever pairs of 1300, 997 and 998 today in my true size 12 (got wide feet too). Love all three in terms of aesthetics and comfort, but the 998s have got to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on. I am seriously impressed.
Might just be in love.

I've had mixed results with the iron. Made some of the suede darker on certain pairs. Not sure why? Been massaging the toe puff lately and had pretty good luck though. Ex

@kinggeorge5273 called today about the hilltop blues twice. I asked about them and the two "very personal stylists" I spoke to seemed clueless. I guess maybe it's a luck of the draw. Hopefully whoever I get on the phones tomorrow, will be able to help me out. I'm glad to hear about your update though, it gives me hope.

GY2 finally arrived. the toe is fine on these. a little puffy but the shape is good. that's the NV on the right to compare. it feels great to own the GY's again.. and in my proper size too.

So unbelievable that cats will drop the kinda cash new balances cost and do these reshaping experiments. Seems like if you not feeling the shape of a particular model you would just refrain from buying it. It really sounded stupid hearing someone trying to reshape the 1300jp2. Especially at a $300 price tag.

If you're referring to Clark he won that pair so it was FOC.
He's pretty fearless when it comes to customizing anyway so i wouldn't put it past him to not blink twice in reshaping the jp2s.
