every 850 except the launch blue/white has been pretty terrible. NB.com had monochromatic tan/grey ones that were nice but were quickly pulled for whatever reason

yeah I left them in my cart for the 10% thing ,forgot about them and then it said it's no longer available. both had FSR with none selling out so they were definitely pulled. idk if it was a QC issue or what but yeah they pulled them

They have done this before with other models, I’m sure they will re release them in the near future

One of the best 1500's in recent years. Love the old style look and the cream sole does it justice.

So there is a new midsole unit on the re-issued 992, possibly causing it to look more bulky?

I think that High Snob post was pointing out that when the 992 was first introduced in 2006 that then it used a new 'Absorb' tech which at that time had not been used on any other models.

Made sense, indeed the midsole doesn't look much different (other than quite a lot of glue mark on the pics surfaced so far). As for other GR think we can be patient.

Eyeing a pair of 1700 released 10+ years ago. Do kicks on flighclub or goat ever go on sale? I don't think I can find my size DS elsewhere so not sure if I should just scope them now.

I am starting to have second thoughts on purchasing New Balance shoes which are 10 years or older. My worry is the breakdown of plastics and glues. I saw some people on New Balance Facebook group talking about this awhile ago. I also have experienced this with my oldest New Balance shoe, M576GN MiUSA from late 80's early 90's. I know that is closer to 30 years for my pair but this risk of life span should be taken into account for how much you pay.

Hows the midsole? If you can just glue it then it shouldn’t be too big an issue...that said I’m not buying 10+ year old shoes
