too similar to the Water be the guides for me - ill be going for a diff cw. I just hope to god he doesn't drop on his weak *** sponge site

i thought the exact same thing fam. almost passed on the JFG's because i thought they might be too similar. Had a pair of the 992 teal blues (m992tb) that just dropped but sold them on ebay because between the JFG's, 990v3 Salehe 2002r, and Bodega's, i didn't see them getting any spin in the rotation.

Have you purchased on the sight before? Just curious to see what's going on with this release. I hit on the grey and the navy's thinking i wouldn't hit on either. But, i also pre-ordered the 650s (basically the 550 high). wondering if that gave people an edge

No, would’ve been my first purchase.

Black 992’s today

i hate that 992s look good on everyone but me. I've literally sold every pair i've ever owned (Tan, plum, kith burgundy, and most recently burgundy and gold and the the teal blue) fire shoe but, they don't look right on my feet. Have to put them in there with Air Jordan 13's and Dunk Hi's.....sneakers i love but look to weird on me to own.

ok. sucks you didn't hit. I really only wanted the Silver pair. if resell tanks i'd be glad to oop you a pair for what i paid, size 10.5. Otherwise i'll be selling the navy's to pay for the silvers. ALot of sites are doing that though. I've heard that it works the same way on Kith and Bodega. but, this is all anecdotal. i don't have hard proof.

Good looking out! I actually just found out my wife hit on the silver and green in my size (11.5). I really just wanted the green and navy, but I’ll see how I feel when they arrive.

If you purchased the 650's you indeed got an edge via that email. There were a few early emails...F&F, Top Tier, & those that pre-ordered the 650's.

Then there was the GR email.

 

[Cnowledge]

I need these. I don't own a 991 yet

 

[kip2mylou]

FYI if anyone was curious as to difference between the GR2 and the GY2. The GR2 (larger size below) is more of a pale grey. GY2 (smaller) is a warmer grey, almost taupe.

Which would you say is closer to the classic new balance grey? Because to be honest I don't see much difference in that picture. Ha.

Just need Levi's and version 3's and I'll be done for this year

Absolute heat. I actually just let go of my Levi’s pairs in favor of bodegas. These are next on the list.

 

[picasso swerve]

Someone explain to me all these versions of the 990. Why dont they just name it a different model or whatever.

 

[migu420]

I think its just a different midsole for each version, aside from the v1

 

[DaveWhen]

I may be wrong, but don’t they do minor updates to the 990 model with each version? Like the way Adidas has done with the Ultraboost.

 

[migu420]

You right

 

[michael ballack]

Absolute must have..

GR2 is closer to my grey 998s.
You can check the stock pics on the two. I think the pic is a bit warmer than the actual shoe in real life but it gives a better image of the differences

550s today

Thanks. The new balance site photos of them look terrible, so I wasn't sure how they look in person compared the other.

shout out to matty k at nb chicago, no ugly red tabs

Interesting b/c the version series of these are releasing tomorrow. I wonder if anyone is going to buy? Purchased the recently released M990GY2, they look so much better without a red tab.

 

[dhtowng]

I hit on all 3

 

[Deleted member 242900]

That's an interesting KITH look book. Curious to know the release of those NB's pictured in the book. Better be a raffle release.

 

[Jiglord]

Damari 992s came in. They look amazing aside form this chunk of 3M missing on the right shoe

I'm definitely liking those Daytonas. Didn't like the original 1600 but the colorway is awesome.
