It’s a shame they’re a women’s colorway. Those would be a must-cop.

Yeah I don't know how true that is
When was the last MIUK woman's 1500?

Believe it, homie. There are a couple out there and they're bangers. Wish they were in dude's sizes. Here are a couple of links to two different ones (including that burgundy/plum joint):

Why not still buy them? They don’t look like they’re a women’s CW. Unless your foot is so big there’s no equivalent.

Yeah I never have a problem getting a woman’s size (10.5) and would never be deterred just because it’s W.

In some cases, it’s better because they’re either cheaper or people don’t go search for the same exact model/CW and don’t think about it

i too buy and wear women's colorways all the time, i can even squeeze into kid's 7 wide sometimes...just be wary that women's width is B and not D and could be an issue for some people

I actually regret getting my NV4 after seeing the woman’s version, which has like a tangerine liner that I like.

Length is never an issue but width is. Standard width for women’s NB is B which would be too narrow for me. If they offered the 1500s in wide, which would be the standard width for men’s sizing, I’d be all over it.

Hi guys, can I get any help identifying these NBs I saw in Europe in the summer.

Thanks

^ it might be a Zante

 

[fentyenthusiast]

The BP4 is basically the alternative to the GameCube ozweegos I wanted, nice.

Think you might be right mate. Just need to find somewhere that stocks them in the UK now. Thanks

Wearing these a lot lately

Wowzers! I am kicking myself for not copping for sort of short money!

 

[squizzy3000]

Straight to feet. Will probably be a daily wearer.

 

[fentyenthusiast]

also wearing my bggs today

I feel like I come across the "I'm getting rid of my collection/dumping all of my xxxxxxx collection and buying only xxxxxx because I don't wear them" posts every so often. I was curious if you guys were also impulse buyers?

I only buy what I really want. Even if there is something I like I have to really want it to buy it so I can't imagine thinking one day I need to let everything go.

I’m a collector aka HOARDER. When I was in middle school/ high school/ some of college it was cool to just have this massive collection of shoes to show off to friends/ family. Now I don’t give a ish what the next best thing is, so I decided it was time to just let go of whatever I could.

I too only bought what I liked but it just got to a point like damn, I have almost 200 pairs what am I doing lol.

I used to impulse buy a lot of pairs but I realized at a certain point it's a massive hassle to sell things that I can't easily return. I now try to be more selective with more purchases unless I'm buying with the sole intention of selling. I try to only cop things I really love and plan on keeping or I can immediately move and profit on.

This is another aspect of collecting I feel like I see too. Buying for the sake of buying, people feeling like they have to "complete" something. Saw it recently in the AM1 thread, "Didn't really want these but I wanted to complete the set."

I don't know man, for some reason I find the whole acquire tons of shoes then dump them all fascinating.

I go through phases where I'll be really into sneakers then fall out of it for a few months to a year (that's when I get the urge to sell) and then get right back into it. I get a weird feeling of "oh, i missed out on this release and this release..." and go a little impulsive. I'm also guilty of doing relatively well in reselling to hypebeasts and making a few bucks off of sneakers, which is very addicting and I'm trying to stop doing.

I know now I really love collaborations so my collections is 90% colabs and 10% stand-out GRs from NB. I've also learned to be patient and score almost all of my current sneakers for less than retail. I'm still finding my happy medium, but I only want to buy what I really want anymore, even if that means waiting months for something to show up on ebay or hit discount.

I was unaware NB was doing Chinese new year release, but these are

It’s an addiction, an obsession and sometimes a mental illness. As I’ve said in earlier posts it’s only worse for these younger generations with this added pressure to fit in.
