Super lame!! Yellowing middys on my CNS!!! I had these sand bagged for like a year or two. DS! I sold a bunch of pairs to fund a grail but then got the 1500 so need to get liquid..and crap balls!!

Are they even worth selling like this? I know prices have fallen but...man. Might keep em and repaint the middy. Thoughts? tips? Help!!!???

How do the midsoles look in natural light? The flash from the phone accentuates the yellowing I’m curious to see how they look naturally.

I would try that 40 volume cream to whiten that, as opposed to repainting it. Not sure how effective it would be on that particular midsole but I'd give that a try before the paint. They dont look too bad

 

[ninjaskills]

40 vol cream?

 

[jimmypiff]

40 vol cream?

I ran a quick youtube search and this vid covers the basics on that vol 40 creme, there's plenty of others as well.

I think I saw a pair of the "CNS" on Instagram/eBay and they were yellowed. I didn't think they would do that...

 

[darren502]

My CNS has the same yellowing in one of the shoes. Pisses me off.

Didn’t know it was happening to other people.

Any thoughts on the 991 naked collab? I appreciate the simplicity and beauty but unfortunately gonna pass at $220.

Caught my attention too but the contrast of black N logo is a bit too strong imo

 

[vinylbeing]

Natural patina. Clean it up and stockx it. They don’t care ahah

 

[darren502]

Here’s mine. One yellow, the other white and cracked. And to think this the most expensive sneakers I have ever bought ( retail +shipping)

Day 81. New Balance 998 x Concepts "C-Note"

Those 1500's are dope. I remember seeing the Crown Jewels at the Tower Of London circa 1998. Anyways, I ended up grabbing the Cotton Candy joints today. The material, I just couldn't pass up for under $200 (cheaper than NB1 suede perf); I haven't seen them land on eBay or etc... so I just had to bite the bullet & grabbed. (100 Times better than buying a boutique NB1 for $220) That perforated toe box and white leather saddle. I'm ready for grey cotton shorts, BBQ cookouts and these Cotton Candy joints!

Definitely digging these... hopefully they have my size.. although that price is pretty steep...

 

[NJHitmen]

Yeah, I just got a similar response. They offered to send me a set of the most similar blue laces they currently have available, which are oval (the originals were flat). I guess that's fine. Certainly better than nothing. Hopefully the colors will match, which is more important than lace shape.

Quoting myself: that comment was about the Norse Projects M770s I picked up at Marshall's, which did not come with the second set of (blue) laces. I'm impressed with NB customer service for getting these spare laces out to me so quickly. Unfortunately, the color is totally off. Annoying. Now I'm on a mission to find the right color.

It occurs to me that the "Carolina blue" of the spare laces matches the highlights of M574BOX, so maybe I'll try them there.

I might have a spare set of royal blue laces that would go well with those. PM if interested.

Blake P always looking out for others... I was looking for laces to match a pair of pumas a few years back. He said he had an extra set that would match and mailed them to me. Super cool dude

 

[jamesandstl]

The NB Thread comes through again...

 

[getitaway]

Long shot here... Anyone sitting on a DS pair of the Concepts Des Sables fresh foams in a 10.5? I'm looking for a backup pair.

 

[newbalance365]

[vinylbeing]

i think seller might negotiate something closer to retail.
