Received them today as expected and here's as promised:


I paid $153 shipped for the 997HL's from NB due to prior order errors and coupons.

And unexpectedly on Wednesday, I was on eBay and came across a seller I had purchase from before had the 997PR's for $240 shipped, asked for $230 shipped, he accepted, and with an eBay 15% user discount came out to:



Purchased them on Wednesday and received them today.
I am very pleased with both purchases. [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji]

Walter..
Nice pickups! I can respect the Catcher in they Rye 997s, but they definitely give me a more McDonalds vibe with those colors as opposed to a classic bildungsroman. And you came up on those 997PRs, respect!

Thanks man.

LMFAO, I never looked at them that way.....thanks....haha but to redeem them from the McDonald's image, they look great in person. As soon as I saw pictures I knew I had to get them.

Wow I really want those 997PR's but not for the outrageous price tag. Need to stalk this thread every day for a price drop :lol:

In other news.. Kickssoleprovider shipped my Capsule 580's and fedex shows they were delivered yesterday morning.... When clearly no such delivery took place.

Is this a fedex F up? Probably.
 
J. Crew @ Fashion Valley in San Diego, CA.  998 dark military.  surprisingly beautiful IRL.  it's a dark tonal CW with a 3m tongue... really cool.  why do all of j crew's stock photos suck so bad?

i've got the pebble blue 998 on the way but these are next for sure. 
 
^I bought those Dark Military JCrew 998s as soon as I saw them in the store. I liked them so much I actually wore them out of the store - I haven't done that in about 20 years!
 
The military greens are one of my most worn 998's. love the 3M tongue. Highly underrated.

Good luck because despite the steep price tag, people are fetching the 997s. Doubtful you'll see the price drop unless you cop on a promotional. Sorry to hear about FedEx messing up your delivery. Hope you get it straightened out

Dope.
 
Did anyone .5 down in the 997PR?  I find in all the Author's Pack Collection my TTS 11.5 is too big.  I have the 998MD and the 1300MD in my TTS and they are unwearable but I didn't realize until I wore them.  What a waste of money.

I have the 997PR and I definitely think they fit bigger than than the 997GY, and that's with the GY having a leather lining...

I picked up the 997PR today ($300 CAD - yikes!) in a size 11 and they fit great.  Good to know about the GY though.  It will definitely limit my options but I think I'm retired from buying kicks on the internet.  Too much inconsistency in sizing causing too many headaches. I'm 36 with bad feet and I don't want to gamble anymore.
