Has anyone ever travelled abroad for an extended period of time and taken a decent amount of sneakers with them? I'm studying abroad this spring and want to know if there is an affordable or practical way of bringing say maybe 10 or so pairs. If not, I'm thinking about un-DSing some 998s and seeing how beat up they'll get traveling around Europe for a semester. Thoughts?

I would bring beaters, I brought a pair of Air Max 95's and a pair of 998's to Italy for 4-months both did not return with me. 95's the air bubble popped and the 998s the plastic on the heel started cracking.

The toebox
I think most people like the 997 silhouette, but comfort wise the 998 takes the cake. After I got my first and only 998, the CELs, they instantly became one of my favorites and became my beaters. I rarely wear any of my 997s now cause the midsole is so damn stiff, ABZORB is money. On the other hand, the 997 has the XAR-1000 on the heel of the outsole which has not worn away. I land heavily on my heels and the arches on my feet are like non-existant. 997.5s have some wonky colorways, I thought 2 were released last year? Or possibly there were some leaked pics? Hopefully some simple colorways are released in the future.

I love the look of the 997 but I really hate wearing mine. They just feel so weird with the brick like midsole. Not to mention I feel like I'm wearing a wedge because of the shape.
But they do look damn good.

so are those what the concepts releasing or is it a custom?
i don't know if it's just the lighting but that horween color on nb1 is not what i was expecting

Took these out to the 212 today. In love. Paid 270 including tax and shipping. But the 240 retail is so worth it. Quality is cocoa butter bananarama erroneous (word to mrcrispycoyle.)

I have 1 pair of 997's, the Maroon Heritages, and they are some of the most comfortable shoes i have. They are in my everyday rotation, and so are getting pretty broken in, and they are very comfortable. I have a very high arch, and a slightly more narrow than average foot, so maybe that has something to do with why some shoes feel different to other people. Don't get me wrong, my 998's are extremely comfortable as well, but the 997's almost fit like a sock/shoe.

Or even horween with the mesh...i just hate that you only get the 3 Herringbone Twill options...so limited and i am not a big fan of the Herrinbone anyways.

Yeah, that's aruba. I was going for a Stash Air Max 95 feel.
