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

One thing I love about New Balance is that although aquiring exclusives and collabs is dope, their are so many great GRs that a lazy/retired enthusiaist can still flex.
 
Thanks! I got lucky on 998 Jcrew sale last Friday, I'll wait for my sz 10 998 before I cop a pair of 997's.

i think about everything does lol.  i can wear TTS in 997 but it fits a little loose.  not boat like but a bit of wiggle room in the toebox.  

also, cheapest place to pick up 696 deconstruct?  also, size fit on them?

looking for the sand/olive? color...the shade in between the browns and the tans haha.  i usually wear a 9.5 in NB

kiths filters make them look so different than stock photos -__-


The biggest fit different on the deconstructed 696s is the low amount of volume. The shoe is not very deep. The toe box is tight on the top but the length for me was true to size. I've been a 13 in everything NB. Hope that helps.

Yooooo....those are tight.

I just went on NB.com. The two new Bespokes (996 and 991) are works of art. Man, there are probably a half dozen joints I want on there.

Good looks on all of these. Groovy Shoes is legit. I order the 997JNB from them, got it three days later and even saved some money due to the USD to CAD conversion.

Can anyone identify these? Pretty sure they are 574s but what colorway? Been googling for 2 hours now and browsing old sneakerarchives (even rep sites), can't find anything.
Could they be IDs?

New Balance 997BTS (Horween) pre-order via END.  Was looking about info on the Horween 997s and came across this page, seems weird though because the shoes are nowhere to be found on the regular END site.

FINALLY! What I've been patiently waiting for. Can't wait until they drop state side and go on sale/discount.

I had a little over 10 pages to catch up on, and man oh man, that J Crew sale was something else. Wish I would have checked in on the thread, would have gotten a New Navy pair and maybe a second Pebble Blue. They still have my size in the New Navy but I still won't pay anything near retail for them...too similar to my 998MB pair. Damn, wish I would have known lol
Congrats on all that got to use the code!

Does anyone size down on their 997s?

I think it depends on your foot. I find the 997 to be narrow and the toe box slopes downward. In terms of length, they're a tad long. You can get away with TTS or if you have a narrow foot, you could prob afford to size down .5.
 
I love how these look with the grey laces. Can't wait for the snow to clear up.

so.... I got a shipping conformation email from concepts and I looked on my online banking and there is a pending charge for the customs but not the shoes...... After I specifically told them I wasn't paying the customs and they then agreed to send them without the added invoice... I think the bank will be getting a phone call to block that charge!
