Gents, there's a block option under user's names. I suggest/recommend using it.

Just in. In love with these. Went 1/2 size down and they fit fine for me. If you went TTS or 1/2 down you'll be fine.
I'll post some comparison shots to the RG a little later but imo, shoes are nothing alike. Both are great in their own right and comparing the two would do both shops a disservice on their efforts.

Correct, they're releasing on NB.com and most likely other boutiques this weekend!

A person asked a question and I had the knowledge to help him. I'm sorry, I thought the whole idea of this entire forum, if not life, is to help people. Sorry I answered his question in relation to sneakers. Sorry I mistake socks and sneakers for being even in the same category of association. Things that cover your feet? OUTRAGEOUS DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT HERE!

Just got these on special promotion from Concepts for $75 shipped. My roses haven't been picked up by UPS, so i'm hoping these will be processed quickly to get shipped at the same time.

Your kicks don't say "Made in Cuba" ...talk about socks if you want to talk about socks.
Just don't start talking about panties.

Okay can I ask what the box is made out of? I heard it's leather like, so I imagine it's some sort of pleather?

No.. Just a textured paper/cardboard.

Def not leather. They essentially got the box they always use for Collabs and wrapped it in this textured paper.
But don't let it fool you, it's very dope. I'm very happy with this release. Everything about it is perfect. And I rarely use that word to describe shoes

For anybody that missed and can't find there true size.
I'm normally a 10.5 and I sized up .5 for the 997 Rose and they fit me just fine. They are pretty tight around my foot and after about a 2 hour wear after work they didn't feel big at all.

^^ Interesting...
I went with my 998 sizing as well on the Rose and it was perfect. Size 9. (1/2 down from usual, 9.5)
I have 2 pairs of 530, the West collab and a GR, both of those I bought my usual 9.5 and both were perfect. Sizing down on those would have been a mistake.
