Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

[syndicatepoogie]

In typical New Balance thread fashion, cue up the "Who the hell is Salehe Bembury" posts.




Old post from back in December.

I only know he works for Versace....and....that’s about it. . Oh! I think he designed the Chain Reaction shoe.

 

[curtis50cent]

Grocery Getters..Stay Safe Brehs

These 993s are a good runner up to 992s..sadly I cannot find it anywhere on my size. And about to pull resale on 327s.

 

[gettmitt]

Just checked, my 1300CLS says made in USA. I need to stop posting without checking lol

but yeah if MiUSA is all thats making me wanna cop I’ll pass...Tokyo design studio from 2019 was on deep disco a couple of weeks ago, if they’re under like 120 I’ll cop

Yeah i think they look DOPE but i cant be doing mismatched shoes anymore, Im getting too old for that <shrug>. They do use the same color palette as one said earlier so it doesnt look wildly mismatched, but still....LOL

That was me. I feel ya. I’d rather have the same color between the shoes but at least it’s not like Ronnie Fieg homage asics or those Sean Weatherspoon asics.

Are the 992 bulkier sole than 993?

I feel like this collab is going to be on an ugly model lol. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[JPS]

yes

Dang now I may have to cop a pair

 

[runners781]

We are really going to start to see a decline in quality with NB stepping into the “high fashion”

 

[JPS]

They’re making high fashion stuff?

Collaborating with Versace

 

[vidiviciun]

Last couple..

Collaborating with Versace

Although Salehe is a footwear designer for them, it's a collab with Salehe, not Versace.

He also put Bodega as the location in the post, so it could somehow be a three-way collab.

I've been browsing this thread since 2017 and have seen this sentiment regurgitated at least every over month, or whenever there's a new release. I swear there are more comments talking about "jabronis", "hypebeasts" and people new to new balance than there are actually comments from those people. Y'all are definitely no better to keep feeding that cycle.

In more relevant news, anyone in need of a size US12 or 13 1300JP3 should see the ebay links in spoiler:

This thread has some seriously territorial holier than thou NB heads in here. I've been browsing this thread since 2009 and from what I notice, the ones complaining were not even around back then.
