You think if NB didn't get every big boutique to hype the 247 it would of been as hyped and sold out? I feel like a few of the big ones probably had something to do with it from NB, then if you were getting the shoes and didn't also make a hundred instagram posts you weren't keeping up with the bigger more popular boutiques.
I disagree. Not sure what NB has to gain doing fake sell-outs and it seems pointless to speculate on this and it doesn't really contribute anything to the thread. They're not a boutique like Kith or Concepts that does these fake sell-outs to drive hype. They slowly sold out of the Surplus Pack online and only "restocked" once they started getting pairs returned to them both from customers as well as NB retail stores that had stock sitting. The 247 hype is real and legit.I honestly think NB didn't even sell out, I wouldn't put it past them to fake a sell out. I love NB but these 247 just look god awful, the materials look terrible, they look weird on foot and for it seems like a lot of people who saw them in hand weren't impressed either.
i think 4mm tubing would be good.I have tried to find clear hear shrink tubing for this purpose. Where do you find it, and what diameter tubing works best/matches an aglet size when shrunk?

Whether you like the model or not is your opinion (and I respect that) but I don't think it's necessary to knock on NB for trying to push a new model that they believe in. It seems like overall the reception's actually been really positive (NB Flagship Store in Boston had already sold a lot of pairs by the time I got there 1 hour after open on Saturday). That can only be a good thing for the brand overall. And I'd also suggest you reserving judgment until you actually see the shoe. Not sure why people are ******** on how "terrible" the materials look solely from pictures, they're actually quite nice in hand.
My bad, for some reason I thought the TG were older than that
What new shape? Newest 1500 I've picked up are NO's which dropped around the same times as the TG's, both of which look like they have the same shape as recent stuff like Taxis, Surplus, Yard, etcetc.
What? Free shipping on NB? Seriously?Finally copped 577yp and 990v2(jp cw) in Hanon!!!!
They do free shipping on all NB.
Anyone?
I agree...goofy as hell! The sell out like most hype monster drops is skewed by 300 or so listings on ebay.
those 247's look goofy. plus revlite sole? nah

Side bar: the 997 x Deal...they growing on me![]()
Anybody know where they will be stocked US or EU? I can only imagine the slow boat from China shipping charges.
Got an orange pair of the English Tenders and it's also a bit big but wearable for me if I lace them up with all the holes. 996/7/8 for me are all pretty much TTS though.Bought pair of 577 tender. Went with sz I've been buying lately and my feet are swimming in them. Seem to be about whole sz to big. First NB that's made in England. Been wanting some made in USA. Do the 997 996 fit like these 577?
YES YES Ya'll!! Glad you scored a pair...sorry about the bigness. I'm an 8 in everything other than PK NMD(That entire new adidas Boost sizing was a nightmare!) and they fit me fine. I like a med tight ish feel of my picks. I can make a 8.5 work with insoles and socks if I REALLY like the shoe and can go .5 down in 998s if need be as well.Bought pair of 577 tender.

That 247 model is trash IMO. Definitely doesn't represent how dope nb lifestyle product is. I wouldn't care if they sold out in seconds the 247 is a magic Johnson no LOOK PASS!!!!!
