I like the Mita 850 collab more than the Atmos one....and if they had more suede paneling I would've liked them more than the No Vacancy Inn collab as well.

I dug the Mita pair too but the color blocking seemed off to me...Way too much blank real-estate on the upper there...

i like patagonia, carhartt and champion.

Levi's, Patagonia, carhartt and champion is 75% of my closet. champion mesh reversible basketball shorts, eastern mountain sports 10" swim trunks with the lining cut out, kuhl hiking shorts from rei, reverse weave champion sweatpants, Levi's 501 and 505 twill pants, lee dad jeans in colored denim.

I feel you, it's kinda like if you are gonna go in, go all out, but I still am a sucker for simplicity and subtlety.

Me too on the simplistic stuff, generally that is...This model begs to have those multiple upper panels to have some type of color / material differences though...

Hi All,

I am just wondering how do the 992s fit? Do they fit more of a 990v5 or 1500/1530?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Not bad. In all the way from Denmark.

I had the same decision to make. Went with the 997.

can you show us how they look in person??

Pre-ordered them from Saks, so won't get them until sometime mid-May. Someone else posted a picture on here though which is what put me over the edge (and the Overkill pics).

Very happy with these, especially for $150. My first 991 and super comfortable (though the wife thinks they’re ugly).

That’s the reason I didn’t pull the trigger on them, SO thought they were ugly.

Pretty sure the going rate for what my gf thinks looks good is 10-15% of what she sees me wear

Btw I have those aries too and she said they were ugly lol

 

[djdadshoes]

If I punted on all the shoes my wife thinks are ugly, I'd have one pair of 574s

 

[WiscoTerr]

Her assessment of my NBs... "Everything is either pink, or looks like a dad shoe"

I don't even have a pair of 992 or 990s...

squizzy3000 Love the parra doormat. I have it in my entryway but I never actually wipe my feet on it. One day my super came in and went to town on it after coming in from working outside, it hurt to watch.

So are they made in China?

Lol have to break the ice sometime. I’m the wrong person to talk to about that though; before the pandemic I took a supreme button up out of my closet to rock to work.. tags still on, FW12
