997 has historically had some amazing collabs (Concepts, J.Crew, Kith) but this one's kind of a "meh" for me. I like the packaging, though.

the wrapping paper is better than the shoe lol

im wondering if the Aime 997 will be the same deal as the zx 10000 where the two pairs are pre-mismatched and you have to get both to have a matching set... ?

Would be par for the course for RF

in for a pair of bodegas.

 

[ninjatoes]

those mismatched 997’s are def something i can see the homie V vidiviciun rockin. same for the bodegas. solid colorways.

 

[ckalinec]

Digging the Aimes honestly. I really like the colorway and materials on the Bodega 997S I just really don’t like that silhouette. The huge heel cap thing kills it for me.

 

[B Sox]

Definitely passing on those Aimes.

M997LBL

good one

 

[rianbeing]

Are these made in the US? I like them... will most likely be coppin.

btw, the most underrated new balance collab this year has got to be the packer x-90 collab... they've been heavy in my rotation for the last 5 months and still look amazing. Pics comin soon

 

[thecheef]

Any leads on the packer x90 in a size 13?

 

[jaynev]

Yeah the packer x-90 colorway was spot on

 

[dead stokc]

Late, but a better pic. Im really on the fence, because they look like NB1’s with an option we can’t make. Although I haven’t even been on the site to know, but I know how the 998’s went.

 

[jaynev]

Don't really like the lack of color balance on the toe/front

Salmon szn
Sorry NB, you were right, that is nimbus cloud. But not sorry, make your sht more accurate or provide a real sample please

Spoiler

so NB1s don't look very salmon-y, would you say?

 

[los2187]

FEG4 for the low in case anyone is still looking for these.

Hmm? I would say the color is a light salmon

 

[qooman]

Wore mine for about 2 weeks straight (pretty much)...rain, cold, sunny days. they hold up fine if thats what you're asking. no issues compared to other MiUSA models or prior 990s.
Midsole comfort seems similar to v4, no weird fitment issues.
