I went half size down (10.5)on the Rosé because my only 998 fit slightly big and it worked. Now my 1600s are 11 and they fit great and the Mita Tennis ball 580s are 10.5 too.

My Gentlemen's pack 1500s came in arrived Wednesday. Finally had a chance to unbox them today - snapped some pics and tried them on. The leather on these is wonderful. I went with my 998 size and it fit snug, just like I like it. However, the leather on these is so soft that I could literally feel them breaking in just walking around the house, and the got more and more comfortable the more I walked around. I don't care about creasing, but for those that do - I can't find any creases yet (to my surprise) after about 5 minutes of walking around my house.
I thought it was interesting that they came in different boxes - I got the "Made in UK" box for the M1500GMBs and a standard "retro/performance" box for the M1500GMNs. In pictures I thought I'd like the Tan/Green (M1500GMB) pair more, but in hand I actually like the Tan/Navy (M1500GMN) pair more. TheY both came with extra waxed laces and Pantherella socks, which is a nice touch - I'll definitely be wearing these to work. I'm REALLY, REALLY happy with these - especially since I got them each for $175 shipped.

^^^They went quick. Clicked and nothing was there on Nb's site.
WNYC seems to be charging $20 more and no returns.

To add on my comparison, the GY leather lining is more comfortable and the cncpts box smells funky.
Edit: each shoe's suede is different, on one part of the cow's skin the hair can be longer. You'll be able to notice how one panel in consistent, so earlier my comparison can be different from yours'. To be fair as well, the 997GY's heel panel is really great suede.

Finally got em! Took much longer than expected, but better late than never I guess lol...
Question though. I've never owned a pair of 997's. Are the midsoles suppose to look this way? Looks worn imo...

you can use a fabric steamer to remove those creases but chances are they will come back after one wear.
One thing to note if you're planning on using the steamer. Be super careful with the suede material because it will make it a shade or two darker. Honestly i'd leave it alone if i were you.

Saw the upcoming leather 997BTS up close at a sneaker event in Singapore today. They look incredible.

Yeah, they have my size too. But I managed to order a pair luckily off of NB.com for like $95. We'll see if they honor it. It didn't really seem like they had any left when I went on their site at 1215.

These look incredible, NB's site pictures' don't really do them justice! That is weird that they're in two different styles of box though haha
NB is really teasing me with these, I wonder why they haven't put up a size 13 yet..

It's not a defect and it definitely happens from time to time. I notice it happens more on 577's but I do have some 1400's with the same creases. I wouldn't risk the suede by trying to flatten them out.

The lining of 997's are not leather its a vinyl like material. Suede is pig skin because pig skin holds dyes very well much better than cow or calf skin

Got these in yesterday. Not feeling them at all. Going to pass 'em on to a buddy.
A lighter shade of pink and no croc print and I probably would have kept 'em. Color is too dark and I can't get down with croc print on sneakers.
Looking forward to the orange pair tho...
