every time i see them WTAPS 992

Dear NB, please bring back the NB1.

The 2002r protection pack are pretty nice. Ended up getting a pair of GOAT, but I think I prefer to the regular cut 2002R JP colorway set to release who knows when. They're pretty lightweight and comfy though

*Edit* ALD 991 shipped too!

Nothing here yet for shipping. I'm hoping prices dip on resale cuz I am tempted to circle back for the Grey 991 pair, but prices on both seemed high at the moment.

looks like the Baby Powder Blue 9060's can be had for $250 in my size and dropping!

the JJJound latest 990 V3's are going for $275. I am liking this. hopefully resale crashes.

for sure, i figured both would sit on the 6/3 release, but they sold out on ALD. the browns are beautiful too dammit.

UNDS M990AL3. Liking these more on feet.

White shoes always look 100X better on feet, especially with black pants. Not sure why I don't have more, I probably only have 2 or 3 white shoes.

And honestly these V3 looked trash in promo pics, but in hand they are a lot nicer. Tempted to grab a pair but way too many releases lately and I've been trying to keep the shoes to a minimum.

Yeah I went to the site to see stock about 10 min after release and both were wiped clean...Makes me glad I hit on the brown pair via raffle haha.

This might be a very unpopular opinion but am I the only one who thinks the 2002r protection shoes are hideous? I've never seen the appeal of the cutout design or whatever that is.

This is interesting, as the “cutout design” is what “pulled me in”, specifically on the Rain Clouds. I actually prefer the look of the 2002r this way over the standard

Didn't hold off on wearing them, ended up breaking them out today.

For anyone who has the 990v3 and 2002r and sized down half on the 990, do you have a side by side photo of both shoes? I ended up hitting on a pair of the sea salt 990v3 but got a half size down. i'm usually a 7.5 so i'm a little paranoid that the 7 is gonna be too tight.

You'll be fine, the 990v3 fit huge. I go TTS in 2002R and .5 down in the 990v3.

Perfect summer shoe

After wearing NB, it makes me realize how "narrow" Nike shoes are. The fact that NB is even offering wide option on some models, is the reason I've been wearing NB all the time now.
