LPU…
Couldn’t be happier and Christmas came early for me (or a birthday present since it’s just before Christmas lol). Got them for around retail and love that I didn’t have to pay resale (also was the last 10 available, shoutout to the people who helped me get them…you know who you are 
).
Only con I have with this particular pair (not sure if it’s like this on all pairs of this colorway) is that the laces are extremely fragile. They’re like wool, so they catch any nail, dry skin, etc and just come undone like nobody’s business lol.
On another note, I see everyone say go down half size in these but I just can’t. I’ve had 2 pairs half size down and had to sell both because the width was too narrow, along with the elevated heel pushing my toes up. The materials are forgiving so it’s doable but not nearly as comfy as TTS for me. The Absorb feels so good on these once you warm them up a little bit, might need to nearly clean my whole collection for more 998s.
