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

[APLUS]

that’s how stuck in the 90s I am. EL-P’srawkus/defjux stuff still gets regular plaY and blew my mind when I heard it the first time...much like rza and preemo.

unpopular opinion, but I’ve never liked mobb deep’s stuff and Cuban links is overrated

here is a pic of some NBs satisfy the thread requirements

Catching up on the hip hop discussion but absolutely loving it.

This post was a rollercoaster for me. I agree about EL-P. I feel like he could do no wrong pre-RTJ. Especially the Co Flo days. Even the instrumental stuff. Highwater was slept on imo. Im a huge jazz fan so that album was right up my alley.

Mobb Deep and Cuban Linx on the other hand...oof. Havoc’s production on The Infamous and Hell on Earth was absolutely incredible at the time. I remember hearing both albums the week of their release and just being blown away. Things did go downhill with following albums.

Cuban Linx is still a top 10 all time for me. That album is literally hip hop cinema. Ghost and Rae are literallly characters in a story playing out over an entire album. Unpopular opinion- North Star (original CD bonus track) is still my favorite song off that album.

Beats what it was before this:
Hey how is sizing on v5, TTS?
Hey would you size true on v5?
Hey I’m really liking the v5 big ALD fan, how would you size?

don’t forget
“NB qc is garbage. NB is garbage”

New balance UK site has them- you may have to use a proxy. Also can just google them you’ll prob find them from a euro or uk store. I got a pair off of giglio.com a few months back.

What are people generally using for suede/leather protector?

Thanks for the info. This may be an amateur question but how do you use or find a proxy? I found them on the NB UK site

 

[runners781]

Wow NB UKs selections are dope, lots to pick from need a proxy

There are companies that will buy goods from stores overseas and ship to you, but they charge a commission or handling fee. They act as the middleman. If you just google shopping proxy youll find diff companies. I’m sure some other people here can chime in. It’s been a really long time since I used one.

No complaints at all from me, man.

No worries, bro.

Yup! I do exactly just that.

One coat, wait the 24 hours, apply the second coat, wait another 24 hours then enjoy!


Sidenote: I think I've asked you this before, but are you a fan of Haruki Murakami?

If we can talk about rap we can talk about Japanese fiction writers right?

I've read a good chunk of his books, recently finished up Killing Commentadore. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World is my favorite. Haven't read Kafka on the shore.

Lulu bottoms look amazing on females but sometimes it'd be nice to leave my mind some imagination.
