I have the CELs and they are awesome. I posted pics about a month back. Well worth the money especially with the exchange rate now.

Hey guys i have a question. Why do some new balances have limited edition marked on the shoe. And others that are limited edition does not have that marking on the shoe. Thanks

I just bought a pair off ebay labeled as the bring back pack (they appear to be coming in the red and silver box as opposed to the traditional blue box). Any other huge indicators of them being this years model. I will inspect them once they arrive.
Thanks,

Are there replicas/fakes of the cncpt 998 tannerys?

Yeah, they're out there but all the ones I've seen looked terrible, color and shape waaaay off

Absolutely. I have seen some floating around. You can usually tell them by the off coloring of the green (some different shades of green on the shoe), the plastic piece on the ankle looks cheap/translucent, and creasing on the mid-sole of the shoe (normal 998's don't really have any creasing marks). Let me know if you want picture examples.

Thanks thats what I thought.
Pics of fakes would be awesome if you could.
Also do you know what a good price for a ds pair would be? I have an idea but I'm just trying to make sure im in the right range.

Depends on the size, but I would say anywhere from $280-$350

Wow. Great comparison pics. Definitely glad I grabbed a few pairs off RRS when they were giving them away for $89.
It looks like the toe puff is now becoming a serious problem in the US NB factory. The 1300JP2's are looking horrible, especially with the new $300 price point. Just when the Flimby factory starts listening to criticism in regards to the 1500 toe puff, the US factory starts letting us down.

I got mine a couple months back with c-notes for $500 total, so I'd say $250-$280 is reasonable

man, other than the creased abzorb those really arent that bad of fakes. Toe is a little off and color too but you never can get a good unfiltered pic of color these days anyways.

You mean the authentic pair?

Yeah sorry. I saw the blue paper in the fake pics so I wasn't sure if they were trying to match the real ones with it.
