After many hard looks and 'almost' checkouts..I'm good on the BM5. The middle/front half of the shoe remind me of my FEG4. Looks like we now know where the FEG4's toe panel materials went "if" it were to be an all black nubuck shoe. :emoji_thinking:

My mail call came in, 997BR. Very happy with the quality, I have no complaints.

Though, for the heads, a question: How many of your pairs have the blank insoles? Right now, I have three of them. The 997NV, 997BR, and my 998BC1 JC Nighthawks. Is this a typical NB practice with semi-limited GR's?

same with my 990BD, so it's not entirely uncommon. along with my 997NV, i've found those to be the softer insoles in all my NBs.
 
oops! You said 'nicknames.' Apologies.

Depends on the pair. Sometimes NB provides them. Frequently for collabs, it's based on who was the collaborator and either the inspiration/ collab-chosen name or the color.
 
look 🔥 in this pic. Hopefully I like em as much in hand and on feet

got the shipping confirmation from centre too. Killer deal for$97 shipped. Shoutout to the homie that posted that 50% off sale 👊
they are fire in person. Leather on the toebox is a little sub-par but craftsmanship on my pair was great and the colorblocking is dope
 
Was just looking at my 997S grey day pair, and noticed the outsole is starting to detach from the toe of the shoe. Anyone else experience this?
