it's so wild to me that these have a built in whistle, who wants to blow into their shoe after wearing them?

agreed. i like the look of 992s better but, on foot 993s just look better. wish they had more colorways. had black, grey, burgundy, indigo. almost had a green pair but oddly enough they were deemed fakes by ebay authentication. didn't know they were doing fakes of 993s

This color way is nice as hell
The shoe itself, ehhh
Side note
Just tried on some 993s my dad has, man they are comfy
. I can’t lie, even growing up here in Boston I was always anti NB. But all the dope stuff they’ve released the past year has caught my eye, especially those grey/green/maroon 990s. Def getting those and probably some 993sis there a way to tell what year a shoe is made from the tongue tag? My dads had the same pairs of classic grey and navy 993s for as long as I can remember, curious what year they are from

Google the style code and it might come up, for example M997DOL, M998MD

Thanks for reminding me. I just checked NB.com and got the greys for retail in my size.agreed. i like the look of 992s better but, on foot 993s just look better. wish they had more colorways. had black, grey, burgundy, indigo. almost had a green pair but oddly enough they were deemed fakes by ebay authentication. didn't know they were doing fakes of 993s
If anybody else is interested they have size 11 and up in the grey 993s. Every time I check they're sold out so thought people would want to know.

haha.. true. But to be honest, if you went hiking and fell over a cliff and paralysed yourself or something, it's pretty useless, better to invest in Apple Watch with fall detection lol
