NB laces usually run long unless you're a huge footer. I got some before I think at 45 and they were fine but I'm a 8.5-9. You'll be fine with the 45's or 54's. Depending on how you tie and rock your shoes.

Anyone have a hook on J.Crew? Looking to snag the 7 that's available online right now. Thanks fellas, love the group!

 My wife actually got me a gift card with 140 on it off CL for $40...so I was able to FINALLY cop the pebbles for 70 bucks. Honestly, they are worth the retail but Im cheap and had been waiting. There is a number to call on the giftcard to verify the amount on it..so peep Craigslist

These guys are good, but it may be OD for you just looking for a simple NB replacement pair.

But you want the flat laces. Keep in mind NB has two kinds of flat laces, the thicker (1300,996,99 variety and the thinner one's (990/997). I think on the NB site it specifies.

Ok thanks for the help Broster !

I have a pair of the 1500BRG - love the CW -- the orange isn't that loud on feet and if you use the burgundy laces.  I usually rock them with black pants - but black pants work with nearly everything.  It's a rich, darker burgundy so the orange is a nice pop.  Try Googling for some 'real' pictures to give you a better idea.

Also, they seem to be on clearance at a few places - I got my pair for $92.

NK has an 11.5 for $100 - (wish looking for a pair for a buddy couple weeks ago):

Not really a fan of how contrasting the heel is. Maybe if it was patterned I'd like it more, or if they had made the toe box mesh that same color.

its a 3M heel tho.

Can anyone help me identify a shoe?

I saw a guy wearing a New Balance shoe, I think it was a 800 model shoe or higher (e.g. 850,991, 992, 996, 1300). It was mostly a dark blue (think Chicago bears blue) and it had a salmon/pink "N." They guy was Japanese and couldn't speak much English but all he could say was that he bought them in Manhattan. This was in Sep 2013, so the shoes may have come out in 2013 because they looked pretty new. I've been trying to search for these for several months and can't seem to find them or even a name. Thanks.

It looked similar to these customs someone posted earlier, but without the salmon toe, just the N was salmon.

i seen some people wear that model in hong kong also, i always wondered what model it was and if it was GR.

 

[jdm-yo]

Maybe an Asian made NB. Don't ever recall a navy w pink N USA made NB. Maybe another custom 574 with pink N instead?

 

[whiteysneaks]

Not sure if anybody has posted this yet but Politics is releasing what looks like an Asics collab and a NB collab soon. Source of pic is @derekcurry (owner of Politics) on IG last week.
