Yeah those def are from the luggage pack. If the price is right, Id buy as a collectors piece. You wont know of they are truely wearable until you get them in your hands.

It does look like those in the pic have been lightly worn though. If they have been broken in, you may be able to wear them without issue... If you can get pictures , pm me.. And Ill try to help you determine if they are wearable or not..

With vintage kicks - if your buying to wear , then its really usually a tossup / gamble. Having pictures can help. But with patent and 3m , its more risky - at times when you wear it the first few times - the patent or 3m material will begin to crack.

Anyone got the 574 Lindor pack? Xhibition got a sale going on right now and restocked my size and was wondering how they are in hand. Also I would assume they are TTS? Thanks!

Messing around with RF 997.5 Cyclades theme. I wish they still had Kool Grey on the color wheel.

Those NV's look like the first run of reissues, not the most recent ones- beautiful! How'd you manage to snag a pair of these? Also, how's the shape on CSU? I've yet to see it in person but in every pic it seems they're legit.

You have good eyes buddy!

Thanks man!

I was watching a pair for the longest. He had em at $150 starting bid (I think) for awhile and dropped em to $125 starting bid and jus said "eff it!" and won them. The CSU's shape not bad at all. I dont see no banana shape so it's all good.

How much do the NB x Being Hunted go for now a days?

 

[newbalance365]

$300-$500 depending on condition.

Which lifestyle models would you guys suggest for someone that is extremely flat footed, overpronates, and requires good arch supports?

Would the 997 be one of them?

prob your best option. 996 is flat but not as much support. 998 is more support but not as flat. maybe check out 1400 and 1500 too. not sure on pronation

 

[newbalance365]

lifestyle shoes are pretty much all neutral shoes, by default. you can take any of them and add an arch support/insole.
something with Rollbar would help: 585
or if you can find some older pairs of 580, 586, 587, mt575, 680, etc.

Those are dope as are the inspiration...Speaking of NB1 x Ronnie: I am GUTTED! My Super Green inspired came out soooo sloppy! I am not picking on shape, toe dents, balloon toe, any of that stuff. I think I have a legit beef...Like a basic quality control issue vs like a sneaker lovers OCD! hahahahah...Check how bad the stitching is on the NB heal logos! They run over other colors with others stitches, the stitches on the N side logos are all sloppy and clumpy, and on the 3M hit on the back it looks like they cut it with kids plastic butter knife and then jammed it on there.

 

[yurit]

Couple of new 998s up on Solestop. Love the dusty blue pair but funds very low at the mo after picking up the 997css. Going to have to think about moving another pair on...

Those toes, damn they don't even look like 998s

I actually would need a shoe with the medial side raised up in the arch area to provide support.

Would you happen to know if the 997 checks that off? Im going to definitely try the pairs you suggest though.
