Waits for sneaker blogs to call that second pair Pigeon 997s.

A tan horween will probably be the only 997 I cop at retail.
still waiting on that surprise drop for that tan horween 997...pls nb gods
any info on the black red and grey pair. kinda reminds me of the solebox 1500's. and those mint's.. are these customs?
Recent wear... these are
..and recent pick-ups. Since I'm not into 998's all that much...
He does still has it, for one reason or another. Heel support on left hand is scratched to bits though.
Now considering between this or the 990GRY. About sizing, I think we agree the consensus is sizing down .5 from Nike sizing for 9xx models am I right. I'm an 8.5 in UK 577's, so hoping it'd be the same case with the 9xx's.
Anyone owns both can comment on comfort for both models? Thinking of walking long distances with these and the 997 does look plusher. 9 years of technology plusher.

If you intend to walk a lot, go with a 998. 997 is too bulky and the 990 won't be comfortable after a while, IMO.
no he's right. the 997 can be bulky. the 998 is pretty light weight, i like walking in the 999 as well. to me i look at the 999 like an all-terrain shoe. the 574 is also great for walking alot.Never thought I'd hear of a 997 being bulky lol. Unless you meant the midsole being too thick/high for walking a lot
Okay so it it about the midsole, which also carries all the weight. In that sense, I agree. It's just that when I think of bulky, I'm thinking along the lines of a jordan 8. Something mid-high top and decently wide.no he's right. the 997 can be bulky. the 998 is pretty light weight, i like walking in the 999 as well. to me i look at the 999 like an all-terrain shoe. the 574 is also great for walking alot.
nice.. reminds me of this same colorway
Got blessed with these Reengineered 1500s today. Pretty dope. Wish NB samples were sz 9 tho
Thanks all for the enlightening info, repped!If you intend to walk a lot, go with a 998. 997 is too bulky and the 990 won't be comfortable after a while, IMO.
You lucky mofo!
I don't think so, it looks more of like a heather terry knit material.horse hair on the base underlay?
Yup, leather lined! And they're a really deep blue.Leather lining?
Also can anyone tell me if these are black or a really deep blue?
Quality and shape are nice. It's like a weird light rubbery material. I would say tts also because I'm a sz 9 and these are a drop big on me. Says FantomFit on the toe which is pretty cool but I don't know what that means. They're also leather linedYou lucky mofo!
Been waiting for these to come out and heard they were due sometime this summer
Any word of a release? How's the quality on them?
Edit:
Sooo renengineered 1500s are already on NB.com?? But not these awesome sample ones
