Can’t wait to get mine in!
Is that excess glue in the midsoles??

The glue curse lives on. As long as it doesn’t look like the mid sole has a giant gap, then I’ll deal with it. They’re meant to be worn anyways not be box queens.

.... regardless tho, they‘re so fresh in hand. A lot better than I thought they would be. Def a keeper imo.

Was thinking of an easy way to thin the heard or trade/swap with members here. There’s not a lot of NB action in the classifieds, and I don’t know who the ppl are in the Facebook NB BST group. is there any other place that you guys flip swap trade besides PM? Should I make a new FB group or similar for this? I’m sure a lot of us of have Covid cops we need to dump.

I was thinking a buy sale trade group with no profiteering allowed. Mainly for the assist to members.

thoughts comments ideas?

I'm not on FB but I could be down. Would rather get good shoes to people who care for a fair price rather than going through the hassle (risk) of stockx just to make $20 after all the fees!

^^^seems like a dope idea. Would be a bit of a risk weeding out flakes. Especially if it grows with time. Im completely off of social media, so that would kill my chances of partaking.

So what's the fitment like? Comfortable?

The general consensus is to go half size down in the 992, but I was not able to do that as the boutique only had one 9.5 and the person ahead of got those so I had to go with my TTS or size 10. I’ve been wearing them around the house and I think I prefer TTS, at least this pair. I have the M992NT coming in size 9.5 so I’ll see which I prefer size wise.

In any event, I find these extremely comfortable and love this colorway.

7. But I sized down.

I unds pairs to go check the mail, and I live in an apartment where I don’t have to go outside to get there.

Unds is unds
