If it doesn't make sense. Then it makes sense. NB's slogan as of lately.

in any event hopefully the custom pair will avoid some of the production issues european customers were reporting

 

[dead stokc]

Preciate that bro

Yea I’m holding off on the NB1 until I have 2 pairs of Grey’s/see the quality of the NB1 from other folks

I thought global release got bumped to Feb 15th? If Hanon already posted 992GR, US should have them any day now.

I let that go a long time ago; mostly a Nike head, I’m 31 been collecting since I was 15 and I will never wear a Jordan or Nike ever again that’s a promise.

Edit: I ball in Westbrook’s but that’s it!

 

[note]

Interested in those Aries Neon 991s, but don't have a pair of 991's. How's the sizing?

I wear a 9.5 in 998s. Anyone recommend staying with the same size or half up?

It’s all Gucci, jus gonna keep waitin

 

[peteypablo555]

not to pile on JFG but it’s kind of wild how easily his colorway can be approximated on NB1...usually can’t get that close with the NB1

 

[gopre5k]

Would wait on the NB1 992. If there were production issues on the standard GR then the custom will likely have issues without a chance for refund. Let them iron the links out first.

Also very excited to see the 1300JP3 made in size 11.5. Don't think any 1300j released have been made in 11.5 before. My time is here!

leather?

 

[JSWAM]

leather?

only suede.

 

[ohmeohmy]

Any info ie;fit/craftsmanship on this pair of 991..contemplating pulling trigger.

I have them. Suede quality is on point but I do find the 991 less comfortable than the 990 due to the tight toe box.

 

[ohmeohmy]

Asking again, 992 fit like the 990? Concerned about if the toe box is roomy.

 

[peteypablo555]

leather?

that’s the only part thats missing, the horween. everything else closely approximates...we’ll see How close they are once people receive their NB1s

Ordered my pair this morning, will update thread once it is in. My first name is Johnny so I guess I'll just call this a JohnnyFreshGoods shoe.

ha ha ha
