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

Man I wish I got into NB sooner.

Same, although it makes me wonder if i’d have been struggling to acquire pairs. Looking at older releases, it seems not many go beyond a size 13, or they did and they were all worn to death. With Jordans/Nikes, you see a handful of 10+ year old kicks come up now and again in a size 14/15. With NB seems to be an abundance of size 13 stuff, and that’s where it stops for the big foot folk.
 
True but I spent money on Nikes and Jordans that would have been spent on NBs instead.

Also the releases from 2017-2021 were more my style. 990v5, 992, 998 models without loud colors vs how it is now.

pre covid days for us NB collectors were a great time with many stuff going on deep disco without the scare of it going out of stock. however i would say NB1 being gone is the biggest casualty
 
Took it for granted, the days when Jcrew NBs were just sitting in stores and me saying I'll grab them later when there's a discount code, then Jcrew pulled out of UK closed all stores lol

Received the 2002R Donors that I ordered to be shipped from the NB Factory Store from Friday

~$60 shipped via UPS

If you’re traveling and don’t want to sacrifice luggage space, request for them to ship to you! Shipping is free! I wonder if this works for sneakers not instore and through a nationwide inventory search?

I remember asking if they had a pair of wheat 992s, but they didn’t have my size (nationwide inventory check… I think). I just provided them with the SKU#, and they did the search.

Received my SB 530s as well. The toebox fit is very generous and wide foot friendly. Length-wise, they pretty match up well in the same size as the 990v2s.

I’m really glad that I went a 1/2 size down (compared to my usual size in other brands; Nike, Jordan, ASICS, Saucony, etc) / the same size as my MiUSA silhouettes. These are definitely one of my favorite 2024 releases across all brands and possibly my favorite NB release of the year.

Grabbed mine this morning off the NB site can't wait for them to come in.
 
If anyone is having buyer’s remorse and feeling underwhelmed with the AM minimus trail, I’m your guy 😂

I missed the drop last Saturday. Haven’t been on NT in a few weeks.
