I've received a great pair of NB1 from Ricardo!
I wish we could request who we wanted to make our shoes from their factory.
Needless to say, if you get a pair with a card with someones name on it, then it's probably a well made pair of NB1.
Does the perf toe option come with increased quality control? That's what I want to know. Order enough pairs of made in the USA NB1 and you will see just how bad the quality control really is.
I chose salty for my flavor today.
My short list of the best 997's of the year.
The underrated and slept on Moonshot from J Crew. So clean and understated. Easy to get dirty but one of my favorite releases of the year. The color morphs subtly with changes in ambient light.
Very similar to the Moonshot with its lighter colorway...
Yes JerkStore. It is a NB1 that I made on cybermonday. Navy suede with orange hits and black mesh. A straight Auburn University rip. The nimbus cloud suede across the toebox is inspired by the J Crew Midnight Moon. Its not 3M and not so bright white looking. The light is just reflecting like...
Congratulations on the camera.
In general a better lens makes for much better bokeh. If you are the photographer then it becomes very hard to also be the model for shots that are well staged.
Not my picture, but an example of extreme bokeh, time lapse and editing.
What was the best 998 to drop this past year?
For a GR the 998DPHO was tough to beat.
What about the best 1500 of the year?
London cabs, 1500BY, Surplus Pack, 1500NO? It is really hard to choose.
Here is a close up of my "Dubs". I will get some on foot shots at the next home game. The yellow and fin blue suede pop against each other and are very vibrant and alive. The colors allow you to successfully put to use two hues that are not often utilized from the current wheel. I also wanted to...
Remy I'm intrigued by deep grove possibly instead of black with the grey toe and green heel version. I would like to see this on a white sole.
Any tips for paining the collars? Do you guys use angelus?
Do you all think that NB will have one more sale before the new year?
NB1 Cyber Monday winter collection. I have a few more simple/tonal pairs on the way utilizing deep grove, nimbus cloud and castlerock. I had made a pair of my "dubs" a few months back and with the sale price and ebates doubledown I decided to make a second pair on ice. The shoes look good in...
I hit up the new flagship store today in San Francisco. They had a friendly staff and a very good selection including an in store exclusive. I spoke to one employee at great length about his personal collection. I was impressed with his knowledge and passion for the brand.
In time,I started...
The owner of NB is an old conservative worth billions who has given millions of dollars (from our purchases) to horrible Super Pacs in the past. His name is Jim Davis. NB isn't just conservative, they are way past that with their agenda. Their ultra right wing views have gotten them unwanted...
