Hopefully most of us in this thread get a pair...I honestly hate the shopify checkout system though.

Those Mints are fresh! Pun Intended. No chance in me coping a pair though and ebay prices will be sky high!

998s are one of, if not, my favorite NB models so I hope I can get the mints.

Ouch : (
You guys kill me with all this talk hypin' up this sneaker.
I want the sneaker as well, don't get me wrong, but I'd take the C-notes over these. Much more practical color than the mints. Probably won't get a ton of wears out of the mints as opposed to a clean off-white colorway.
I agree, even then I don't really like the C-Notes either. I'd have to see 1080P videos on these before I officially pass.
Dude, I know this is off topic but I really like your writing style. Are you an english major or something? (I'm genuinely curious; it's not a troll)
I see what you guys did there~ repped.
You're right... Damn, I just said they sucked too. I think I'm falling for the hype : (
I didn't know these were the "Mojito replacement" Mints somebody posted earlier. The pics couple pages back made them look tan/khaki but the official pics look more minty. Aqua fresh. They need to be more green though.

Ok I'm in this thread for the mints. Anyone have any idea what the line at the actual store will be like?
Only need these for someone in Europe that can't get their hands on them

I must admit...Mints are fresh, 
but C-Notes > Mints...just because its more subtle and its fresh with any kind of day...Going to try to get online but chances are I will never own these...

Haha yeah I didn't get the big deal until those pics came up. I think the color on this shoe is nicer than the Mojito's, but I like all the little extras the Mojito's came with..really unique. Hopefully I'll land one of them haha.

The mints look real nice in those pics. I'll try for them, but not getting my hopes up. I'd actually rather them be like 170ish and no special box.

I agree with you, the box does nothing for me, messes up the stacking of shoes as it will be larger than my other nb boxes
Even resell of the special box of Cnotes is basically what it is with the regular box
I guess we are split, I like the Cnotes better than the mints
As lnog as the website doesn't hang like it did with the 3lies, this could be down to who has, knows, the cncpts check out process the fastest

IF YOU THINK FOR A SECOND THAT THE C-NOTES ARE BETTER THAN ANY NEW BALANCE COLLAB AS OF LATE YOU ARE TRIPPIN. C-NOTES ARE LIKE A WHITE HONDA CRV. MINTS ARE THAT EXOTIC FORGIEN CAR. NOTHING WRONG WITH EITHER BUT C-NOTES DO IN FACT GET BODIED.I must admit...Mints are fresh,but C-Notes > Mints...just because its more subtle and its fresh with any kind of day...Going to try to get online but chances are I will never own these...
