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

I emailed SneakerNews about my use of that picture. Thanks for pointing that out!

I'm still on the hunt for a pair of 998GNRs. Nothing anywhere. I guess I should've jumped on them when Kith had an FSR for $160. Oh well. I guess the 998RR will have to make up for it. February is going to be a big NB month for me. Blue and Purple 996, 998RR, and those Navy 990 Annys. I can't wait.

For those of you waiting for my review of the Pebble Blues, I'll have it up sometime in the next few days. I've been super busy shooting videos that I never had any time to edit the first few I filmed. I'll be sure to post it here when it's up.

Nowitzness41, thanks for listing me on that size thing, although I dont quite understand what it will really do. I wear a 10, sometimes 9.5 if I cant land a 10.
Had to back read like 20-30+ pages. cant even remember. Saw some baby talk, coincidentally welcomed my first into the world and that's why I been MIA. no need for any congrats posts, rather keep this thread on topic.
couple highlights i remember, beautiful pics from foshz, although i dont care for a lot of the pairs in the pics lol.
rpreme with the awesome pickup on the 997s! pretty sad to see those not get the props they deserve while everyone is still hung up on seals or kennedys lol. oh well, that's how it is now.
missed out on the link to the 996pu. im sure i'll get more chances, but definitely cant keep sleeping. bummed that it's unlikely i'll be able to catch those on sale now that NB has gained a larger acceptance, but it beats japan retail, which is why i held off from getting them last year.
might have confused some people, but those blue orange 1500s are not a spring release. theyre a GR made in UK from several years back when the shape was still great. those sns 1500s are not all that much better than the asian mades as well. it's great to see how the 1500s have improved a bit going forward starting with the hanon drop.
how much did feature charge for the 990 navy?
 
@higuy: I think ultimately we want to create a system to help people get their desired shoe size, haven't heard much of an update but gtfan has the list.

@bonchien: stunnaman is a senior citizen, dont go with those grandpa shoes

, 990 annys all the way.

@jeremy: I'm a sucker for gray shoes, the nicekicks 2.0 (x ronnie fieg) got me into shoes, I was so lucky to be looking for gray shoes and saw those. I don't like the 990s myself for the white heel on them, the gray is good though

@stunnaman: what size are you in those 998s, hate to deviate from the 10.5US of all my nbs

Visited Corporate in Cincinnati for the first time on Saturday. I did a triple take when I saw that they had the Nice Kicks 1500's on the shelf. Luckily they had my size. Still DS with the box and everything, not a return. Still can't believe they had em since its been over a year since the release. Ive been looking for these on ebay for the last few months. The one on the shelf was a size 9 and they said it was the last one. The owner is a really cool guy and I'm sure they'd ship it to you if that's your size.
 
Here's the list as of now. I can post a better list when I'm back on my computer.

$195 is a great price for the grey 990 Anniversary in any size now. limited to 990 pairs and sold out. Going for up to $400 on Feebay in smaller sizes (8 to 10 range).

What's the sizing like for the 1600? I wear 11.5 in most New Balances, but these don't come in 11.5...

Anyone got any advice on sizing? or is the 1600 not meant for me?

Also has anyone seen any 998GR for a decent price in size 11.5?

Thanks, bruh. I went with my New Balance TTS, which is 0.5 size down from my Nike/JB TTS. They fit just a bit snug, which I prefer with runners.
 
I don't like how New Balance is trying to do the neon colorway like Nike has been doing. New Balance needs to stick to the earth tones and darker shades of colors, that they've been killing for years.
 
burgundy 990 retro this fall! if they arent limited to 990 like the navys, hopefully the price drops. paid $180 for the navys and for the greys. oh and that 998gnr was released a few seasons ago than nb musta made another batch. retail on those are around $140, its just retailers that jacked them to $175 (kith)
