Sold the collection. Rocking 1 pair of NB's.

The blue pair is darker IRL compared to the promo shots. In hand you can see the 5-6 shades of blue and the brown pair had similar style of blocking with diff shades of brown, burnt mustard etc. A couple smooth cws imo.

I’ll be getting both pairs when the discounts come. You can always stack the credit with the discounts.. so as long as it doesn’t expire and your size is still there.

Lol I got confused for a min. but v4 is def .5 size down. Toe box especially runs wider than other NBs. To each his own, tho.

 

[squizzy3000]

Just came in. Pretty fast shipping from Notre

well thats a bummer if they are 1/2 down. found the stussy joint in my tts for decent price. i can wear 998 in my tts with thicker crew socks so i may try them anyway. at the price i found them for would prob be fairly easy to pass them on if they do not fit correctly.

btw whats going rate on ds c-notes. just posted a pair but not sure if i overpriced them.

I've seen a few 12s on several sites. Better take an hour or so and Google "new balance m990sc4" and find the best deal before they're gone.





LPU GOD DAM I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE THIS GOOD. Can't decide on the laces, I love me some burgundy/burnt orange

Didn't someone put a link of these a while back on sale, got some extra cash I want these such a slick pait

This is true. For me, I go TTS because my foot is a hair on the wider side. I could probably make 1/2 down work, but I'd rather have some room than be snug.

Thinking of getting some NB1s for my upcoming wedding...don't think I noticed any on the last few pages but are there any active discount codes aside from ICICLES and the usual ebates?

Also for anyone that has used these colors, how different are Moroccan Blue and Dark Cyan in person? Considering something like the following for the CW - plan to get Sea Spray laces but will swap to red since that's an easier color to find separately:



Thanks for your time!

 

[threegeees]

you guys need to start a 990 thread or something for real lol. Almost every damn post is about them

 

[son of dad]

congrats to folks simplifying their lives. less stuff is always better. i've been getting rid of things everyday. the minimalists documentary & podcast has been a bit of an influence. no more hanging onto something 'just in case'... one exercise you can try: get rid of your favorite item. something else will fill that role

I think "icicles" is the only one. I think it expires soon and there might be a new code coming after that. Not sure if it will be any better. I used the "Dark Cyan" for a pair of 998s a while ago. I can take pics when I get home if you would like

Much appreciated, thanks!

Pic was taken outside the day I got them.

Pic was taken inside the day I got them with the blinds open

Pic was taken inside a store

Pic was taken inside again

Much appreciated, thanks!

I attached some old pics I posted in here a while ago. Tried to get you a pic under some different lighting.

My goal one day is to have 365 pairs of 998's. I'm almost at 100 pairs right now. ​

I can’t comprehend spending over $50,000 on New Balance sneakers. That’s a down payment on a house.

991.5 SPs today

Dying that collar makes all the difference. Killed another one brother

They look killer dude! Great work!
A little adjustment makes them significantly better
