Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

[bigty23]

Hey guys,

I’m new to NT! I was trying to find some help getting a legit check on my JFG 992s that came in from stockx. I noticed on the size tag, it says “NONE” on the second line under the model number(highlighted in photo below). On every other New Balance shoe I have, there is a series of letters/numbers there. Other than that, everything else seems to looks legit. Can any help confirm that my pair is good?

I’d greatly appreciate any help!

If everything else points to them being legit, you shouldn't worry.

^cant believe how fast they sold out

if I’m not mistaken I think the release was on a Saturday morning at like 3AM here in the west coast and I was shocked at how quick they sold

there’s no difference in the tech between the men’s and women’s versions, correct? There’s still a FSR in women’s sizing. I’m tempted to get my size in women’s...

didn’t realize they restocked the women’s, might just do the 1.5 conversion and try it out

SMH this sucks man. After getting two pairs in with massive flaws. Having to send both back. Waiting another full week and a half for a NEW pair only for them to stop production the day it was supposed to ship and now a refund. They tossed in a discount code but I could care less. I just wanted my damn shoes. I wish I could put the year 2020 in the overnight return bin at blockbuster.

i saw Wu at a small club in West Philly in 94 with like maybe 300 people there. back then hip hop shows were still mostly black people, i was like 1 out of maybe 8 asians there, it was a little scary. i was also like 15 years old, so most things are scary at that age and back then everything was a little scary, just like in general. awesome show nonetheless.

but yeah i fall into that category that kind of lost track after Wu Tang Forever. Supreme Clientele and Killarmy were really the only albums i really got into for awhile, until Fishscales came out. Cappadonna's and Killah Priest's first albums were pretty good too.

I still say that the Gravediggaz album is the best WU related album, and was supposed to come out 2 years prior to 36 Chambers, but the way things turned out, it was officially released afterwards

Cuban linx for me, one of the greatest albums, ever.

All outstanding NB1 orders will be cancelled they sent me a 25% off code. Hopefully the options are used are there whenever they bring it back and that this pandemic goes away it’s been hell.

Im thinking its the employees are not working, so the supplies should still be there when this whole thing blows over?

Honestly they should give you a free NB1 too have to go through all that. When irs up and running

The suede’s not gonna expire.

Well if it ends up staying shut down for an extended period I’d assume this could throw off future release production and could potentially lead them to pump the breaks earlier than they intended.

 

[getitaway]

I am really bummed my NB1 order got cancelled, but I can understand why. The thing that irritates me is that the 25% off code expires May 1st. I was hoping to be able to use that when the NB1 program returns, but obviously that won't happen before then.

They literally just gave 25% off to the public, they should at least let you apply that to a future NB1 order. Factory won’t be fully operative till at least June and that’s being very optimistic....

Yeah I don't see the country back up and running anytime soon.

 

[peteypablo555]

did they at least hold the design or do y’all have to do that all over again?

 

[ohmeohmy]

Be nice if they put the customizer back up so that we have something to do.

 

[dead stokc]

Man, Im kinda blown but I get it. I placed my NB1 order on 3/4 with an expected delivery on 3/24, so I feel like my shoes were already made and waiting to get shipped out before they even shut down operations. Hopefully they resume the program in time for us to use the 25%. I had some HEAT coming

these are beautiful:

 

[syndicatepoogie]

me too--1979. Oregon trail generation. I've always felt cynical toward old people but optimistic about the future. don't like pink now but in the late 80s-early 90s fluorescent colors were big for accents like the hot lava agassi, piping on umbro shorts, air trainer sc ii highs

80. Do you remember that math muncher game and odell lake?

 

[syndicatepoogie]

Is anyone going for the thisisneverthat collab and if so which colorways? I honestly like both but I'm only going for the brown tomorrow.

 

[kinggeorge5273]

Any idea on what a fair price would be to buy a size 8 DS J.Crew Grizzly 997?

Nahhhh, hate the 827, but looking forward to their 997 later.

these are beautiful:

Colors look great, model is turrible.

 

[thefreshlife]

Y'all can go a month without another pair of new balance lol it's not that big of a deal. Can guarantee people have a variety of much more pressing issues than not getting their customs in on time lol

 

[son of dad]

Most of the stuff after Wu-Tang Forever was mediocre until Supreme.

yeah 98-99 was deck uncontrolled substance, the pillage, odb and meth's second albums. then in 2000 supreme clientele came and smashed those.

 

[dharv]

haven’t bought a pair of kick in ages, but can anyone help me find the name of these to end my drought? lol.
