not yet, but wouldn't be surprised. last time they cancelled one of my ultramarine orders (I ordered 2) when prices dipped to ~$80. fingers crossed.
 
This is the pair that started my still small newly formed New Balance collection. Barbershop 1600. The midsole is cracking around both shoes, does anybody know any way to battle this? It may be too late for this pair, but i want to make sure it doesn't happen to any others in my collection. Does anybody have any advise on this, had this happen before, etc.? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
 
Anybody have a line on deadstock 1300 salmon sole's in a 9.5 (preferrably) or 10? Not going to pay some outrageous amount like on EBAY, and i don't want them to be used. 
 
Also looking for Nice Kicks x 1500 the Grey and Red ones in a size 9.5 or 10. These are KILLER IMO.

What are you expecting to pay then? Why would someone sell these to you for cheaper than the going rate?

Probably won't find a DS pair for under $300, probably not $350, and you should be expecting to pay $400.

Pairs like that I always look for a lightly worn condition to make the price less unreasonable
 
Happens with normal wear to a certain degree. There's a care/maintenance thread somewhere around here with good advise. Your 1600s need a touch up with some paint. Angelus Direct is a good place to start. Preventive care is key. I practically douse the midsoles with Armor All on all my new kicks before wearing them. No cracking! Good luck, fam!

never heard of armor all on shoes, is that something done on jordans or other basketball shoes, never seen that mentioned with runners?

Are they left shiny like what you see on dashboards of cars once you clean them?

sorry to hear about that, i heard cracking happened in the 999 elite pairs too, it's just the quality of the shoe. I recommend not putting your shoes in plastic bags (if you do that) unless you are somewhere that has a humid climate. Any dry environment also cause the glue to dry and could be a result to causing a sole to crumble or fall off.

It's something that I do with all my shoes. They're not left shiny.
 
Sneaker politics are meh. 

Wish I could have grabbed HTB in my size with that code though.

Looks like people in the Asics thread are getting their orders cancelled for using the code on items that should not have been eligible, so don't feel too bad!

Weird. Haven't heard of them doing that before. Usually they just cut off the code but still let the ones already placed go through.

At least I got the price adjustment on the blue ribbons I had already ordered.

Yeah, I thought it was odd too... Only one person said they received a cancellation, so I'm not sure if that's going to happen to everyone... I know this is off topic from the NB thread, but, did you actually receive your refund yet? My credit card statement shows a pending value of $1 from J. Crew.

Not yet. I think it will take a few days though.
