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

Also reading this thread is making me nervous for tomorrow.

Personally, I'd wait up till at least 2AM to see if they drop online overnight. I'll be up if you want to chat!

@Remy they are worn, but they had this good shape since the beginning.

i'm probably returning these new pairs, can't stand it.  if anyone who ordered htb off this 2016 restock has pairs with a nice shape i'd appreciate the heads up, then i will try to exchange instead of returning.

why is the thread making you nervous?  the jcrew 997 does look better unfiltered imo

the one from the recent restock is the worst out of my three.  the shape on my pair is much pointier than yours but mine has different imperfections.

Still have my DS navy size 10.

It's cool. I'm in no rush to add the m990n to my collection.

Unfiltered pic looks a lil underwhelming

Best views I've seen so far of the J.Crew 997s:

Soooooo in.

None of the photos are mine***

Best photo yet is that second one. Look really solid there.

And I don't care if I have the best repellent on my shoes that there ever was... I'm still not dumping water or chocolate sauce on them. So tired of seeing those videos on IG.

so the pair from the recent restock is the worst of the three BUT STILL has a (relatively) good shape?  i'm hesitant to keep buying and returning if all the pairs are puffy toed

Stopped by after work to see them in person. They also just received a shipment of HTB's.

I'd be all over these if 997's fit me better.

yea.  the shape is pretty good for my HTB's and i only returned one pair.  it's a gamble but i would definitely try for another.

If anyone is interested in the regular box release of the Butterscotch's, you can order them now through the J Crew Customer service number..just ordered mine and got email confirmation as well

 

[blu3sun]

Looks like they already released online: https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shoes/sneakers/PRDOVR~E8585/E8585.jsp

Welp they just denied me for a phone order.

 

[getitaway]

Welp they just denied me for a phone order.

Same here

Edit: Just called back and another rep is now letting me place an order

 

[92Loprostar]

Welp they just denied me for a phone order.

That's so weird, I called to ask at what time tomorrow I could place my order and the customer service rep said , "right now, we are releasing them on the phone a little earlier". And you see the email confirmation, sorry guys I tried .

 

[getitaway]

They're up online now

I hope my pair will be as nice as this one...

Damn
