Highkicks had them for 150 shipped versus the 209 retail or whatever it is because of the fathers day promo code. I ordered because i thought it was a good price for the new release. The second pair i will wait and hope for lower then that.

I do agree that the price tag on 997s and 998s is high. The quality is great for sure though.
 
$220 seems to be retail for the new 997s... new balance on a trip..
Those 998 dsa i believe they are, are on nb.com . I like the colorway alot from the photos i have seen but 250 is crazy. Still cant find em cheaper in a 9.5 for myself

Oh yea that's a great price. I wouldn't hesitate paying that good deal bro.
I've stayed away from the thread knowing I would end up buying a pair one way or another lol. Just bought a pair of black flyknit trainers, and with so many releases coming up I have to be smart with my spending lol

These customs are tempting, but I've been good so far in not splurging on them.
Retail is high, but good thing with NB GR's are the sales/discounts. Team #neverpayNBretail

These are dope man, what color is that for the mesh? I can't tell if its coral as well or oyster or something lol I def need a new monitor. 

thanks, the mesh part is oyster...
no need for a new monitor just calibrate with SpyderPro... It does the work for you
pretty close to the actual render if you ask me
1000
 
Finally..

And they are absolutely flawless. Super soft suede, correct mesh and lovely shape. Actually kinda hoping i received a bad pair so i could get some NB customer service sent my way but i'm very very happy nonetheless. And I agree, there should be more midsole options. The current options look best with black/grey uppers IMO.
 
Was really looking forward to seeing how those turned out mykoh mykoh !

These and another pair a friend created came out really well, definitely my favorite customs so far!

The Mowabb custom came out great as well that was shared a few pages back, but with the Nike Air Mowabb releasing soon, I have my eyes set on those.

Has anyone posted a side by side comparison of the 2014 and 2015 997GYs? Just curious.

Umm i support and follow those who support and follow me. Im sure it was a huge hastle for you to scroll past my account on your screen. Sorry for being soooo annoying. If you actually have some NB news to talk about lets keep it going otherwise beef it in the PMs bro. No one wants to see you discussing a inst page...

So nice brother! And i couldnt agree more about grey working well with the midsole options that are available. 

I wonder how long it will be till they roll out fall colors or the horween leather that has been advertised...
