Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

damnit, missed them. I better get these for retail on the 28th. With all the places dropping them, I better. 

the ONLY thing I do not like sometimes about concepts releases..  Last year when I copped my 999's, I paid 150 .  When they dropped retail and on the 2nd restock they did, the price went from 150 > $175.

 

[feelingood]

global release of hyprcats been announced yet?

very scarce info... ubiq life said they would have them, release date unannounced.. Im feeling like these may not really see the light of day at most shops.. Everything is being kept hush hush about it. Almost like a limited QS release or something.

 

[vicenteedgardo]

they poisted link early. Im pretty familiar with concepts releases. Got mine.  

Concepts is also known for random restocks. So if you strike out. There is a realistic hope.

This must have happened for me. Was out eating breakfast at 10. Tried to get through on my 3G phone Sold out in 30 seconds.

Came home just now and copped my size at 10:30. Or at least I got an order number.

Unless the online store is slow, no sizes are listed as sold out right now.

It may be because I'm colorblind, but the mint colorway not looking that stunning to me, though it does look good.

 

[vicenteedgardo]

Did Concepts make you pay for shipping on the C-notes? I only ask because I checked last night and shipping was free on a $160 pair of shoes.

Yes, charged 12 bucks for shipping. Ordered other shoes from there before, and shipping was free. I think this isn't a big deal, but I don't get the logic of adding shipping to limited collabs. They can't be making THAT much money off of $12. Otherwise, checkout process was very smooth.

Also, higuy and stunna

12 dollars per head\sale adds up...

so difficult to rank them. could change on any given day.
two honorable mentions since vicenteedgardo did it. mint toothpaste and purple devils would make it as well, but no sense reposting pairs.

 PLEASE...... LET ME WEAR YOUR SHOES!    - I had a chance to get the black\grey solebox 1500's for 150 when they released. Its the most regretted decision in my life. I think about it nearly everyday. Why did I not get them.

Had c-notes in cart, tried to checkout...kept saying billing address has to be the same as billing, I didn't even add credit info yet...then I called the store,dude said keep trying...I tried again then I got inventory problem message, I'll try again in two weeks.

Ok...

Struck out on my phone from work at 1.

Just got home and landed a size 12.. 44mins later.

Order's gonna get canceled huh? 

 

[solefreedom1013]

So if you got an order confirmation are you good with concepts?

From experience, a solid no.

 

[bad lieutenant]

surprised 7 and 11.5 are the only sizes sold out!

I tried a while ago just to see, got the sold out message on the checkout page, now no message.
Maybe they're releasing them in batches so they don't over sell.

Other pic if those

Not going to lie

I'm tempted to just grab a pair and use it for trade bait or something, but it doesn't seem like people care about these like that.

 

[LoX]

thanks for the giving me mix emotions fellas Hopefully I'm good with the order...the site transaction was smooth as it can possibly be for a collab release...no issues what so ever, hopefully inventory was enough..

[solefx]

Just purchased an 8.5 .... If it gets canceled I'm swaying my way into getting the mint 998 as a lock from them....Leaning towards that more

haha yeah, either gonna be sorely disappointed, or there is just large stock.

 

[superblytrife]

Honestly, I think the psuedo press release stating all the retailers that these will be available at helped to squash some of the typical collab hype. That list of stores was on a lot of the bigger sneaker blogs yesterday.

Granted, they're the same stores that typically get limited NB drops, but seeing them all together on a list maybe made it seem like these weren't limited enough to warrant beasting on day one? Who knows. What I do know is that I wish all releases went like the C-Notes.

ehh. mixed emotions, i can do without these, but since they were there i grabbed pair.

 

[you right]

No wonder Cncpts offered ppl who missed 3lies these 998s.

Actually doing them a favor selling shoes that aren't moving or stock overload..

 

[B Sox]

Literally just bought a 10.5 2 hours after the release. Hopefully doesn't get canceled, and if it does, they should give me first dibs on a pair of the mints!

 

[abovedahype]

Still sizes available and other stores are getting them, maybe ill just wait for other retailers to get them so i can save on that $12 shipping

 

[stunnaman]

Btw thanks for the love peeps!
