I'm gonna guess these are fake? They're listed as 580s.

Speaking of 580s, these were my favorite NBs of the year...partly because they were the only pair I really tried to get and was able to:

They're legit and still 580's. Those are M580's. The second pair you posted are MT580's.

New Balance uses the same model number for a lot of different silhouettes.

Nonnative 997

Undftd 580

Yea, I know lol.

Nice kicks released them in december 2011, but I'm pretty sure other shops didn't get them until January, so I decided to throw them in lol.

Thanks for that. Now that I think about it, I actually had them in Navy probably 10 years ago.

In Aruba for a week with the family. On our way to the house and I spot this... (girlfriend saw it and immediately said "I know where we're gunna be stopping" 

 )

Went in there today to check it out. They only had a few classics. Couple 574's and 576's. Saw the "Year of the Dragon" 574 pack. 

They were on sale only $69 US so I had to grab them. Got the yellow ones. The netted tongue is a nice touch.

 

[kip2mylou]

not to add more "rules," but can we add some additional qualifiers aside from releasing in 2012, as-in it must be shoes that you OWN and not just one's uninformed opinion based on instagram'd pictures or a sneaker blog's fancy pictures?
and how about adding in a reason (or 2) for WHY it's your top 3/5 for the year?
anyways...great suggestion kip2mylou! esp. w/ the year windin' down and comin' to a close...
and slightly off-topic...but is your handle by any chance a reference to rafer alston and his and1 alter ego?

Yeah, that's where my name is from. My real name is Kip, so I thought it made sense to just drop the 'S.'

And you could have done a top 3/5 of either, collabs or general releases.

My collab list is:

1. Ronnie Fieg Steel Blue 999

2. Concepts SEALS 999

3. Alpine 580/Salmon Sole 1300

General release:

1. 1300 Steel Blue

2. 998 Denim/996 Denim

3. Dark Grey 996

 

[jeremys14]

1. 990 30th ann.-shoe is awesome. has supreme comfort, excellent quality, and is proof simplicity goes a long way

2. 999 seal-really dig the materials on these

3. 996 reds- same as number 1

 

[you right]

did size? take off vat from international orders ??

 

[wtfchi]

1. West NYC Alpine MT580
2. Concept Seals 999
3. Ball and Buck 574-the first one (the metal box is dope)

 

[chuxndunx]

I have these for sale but I'm not sure how much they're worth:

- Used sz 12 New Balance 574 "Haze" with original box but no laces.

- Used sz 10 2009 New Balance MT580 "Silver Full Metal Jacket" without original box.

- Used sz 10.5 2011 New Balance 1500 "Nice Kicks" with original box (size swap for 9.5)

Help?

Not a big fan of yellow and red. The blue pair isn't too bad, but I'll pass.

990 Navy dropping in March, not as limited as GRY

 

[jeremys14]

grey>navy

 

[higuy]

grays have the classic and clean look to it, but with so many pairs of gray NBs it's nice to have other color options. i'll definitely be grabbing the burgundy 990s

 

[crh1979]

Anymore news about the Face Off 3s? I saw that they are on atmos' site but have we heard anything about stateside yet?

 

[ez money]

What's a good price on a pair of desert storms?
