200 pairs should be interesting
Where you seeing that they are limited to 200 pairs?
I have my sources and that’s for online. God knows where the other pairs are going. Collabs are an absolute **** show now a days. Boutiques essentially have full control of branding, price and production amount. Pretty interesting how ALDs relationship is less than a year old and they can brand on an NB product already. Joe Grundle will do business with any boutique that will grease him up a little
Yes and know workers and have been collecting for over 10+ years. The way they have been handling releases, distributing pairs, letting boutique run the show, creating way to many absurdly limited shoes, sending false information about releases, producing way too many new shoes and creating different versions within a short period are not very good metrics to where the brand/division is headed. They are under the impression that these marketing campaigns for new shoes and creating absurdly limited collabs will win over new customers but in reality its not. GR's are hitting disco quicker than I have ever seen, product distribution has been a mess and communication has never been worse before. All of this started to happen 2-3 years ago. NB is trying to be "cool" and with that new look they are going for they are disappointing ALOT of people.Honest question... Are you an ex-NB employee?

I can guarantee you once they get more look back and FP & A notices that all of these costs aren't equating to higher sales and more revenue people will get axed. I have over 60 pairs of NB and used to LOVE the brand. However the way that they have acted over the past couple of years has been very concerning. Look at their Basketball program, its been in the works for over 3 years and they have only sold a few thousand pairs, if that. At least with UA, Adidas and Nike they always have some sort of Basketball shoe available, all NB has is the Omni's. Which they release in a stupid limited quantity and then there gone.
V2s are a must for me, would love both though. I’ll be picking up one of the overcoats too for sure.
Not a fan of those lol guess since it’s a collab with Aime blah blah the hype will be crazy I’ll stick to the jawns that nobody checks for getting tired of these collabs
Yep over hyped already them new fresh foams hierro V5 will be copped over thoseALD v2 is meh.

Without the ALD association these things would be a bargain bin pair...
That little tag will make people who have never worn a NB shoe come out the woodwork for them lol.
Is that a bad thing? I think exposure to new brands, artists, etc. through collaboration is often the goal of collaboration. I'm sure some old skool new balance heads got hip to ALD and started buying from them, too.Without the ALD association these things would be a bargain bin pair...
