Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

For those that bought and received their 998 GTs....did you get extra laces? I didn't get any extra, but I thought Deon said it was going to come with 2 extra laces.
 
Comes w 4 laces brah

Tan (on the shoe), red, white, and grey 3M

Gonna rock the stock ones and try the grey 3m. Red aint my speed
 
 
My favorite 5 pickups that I made last year. 
Damn was hoping to pick up the Hilltop blues on sale and waited too long and my size 7.5 sold out.

Haven't been able to find anyone selling that since.. :/

Another regret from 2015.
 
Yes came with extra laces.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll email them. Not a big deal as I would have most likely stuck with the tan ones anyway but would have been nice to have the option.

It's a such a great CW.  Kind of reminds me of the Asics Rivingtons which I love but will not pony up for.  Try the bay, they got to come up sometime surely.

Yeah I'm currently stuck between grey 3M and the stock laces. I'm just such a sucker for 3M lol.

What's the going rate for the Luxury Goods 997 in a sz 11? $300ish?

Any help is appreciated--don't want to overpay if I don't have to.
 
Pretty excited to start off the new year with these bad boys. Just picked them up and thought I'd take a quick cell phone shot of them. Never thought I'd find them. Although they're a half size big, the price I got them for makes up for it!

Great way to start the new year! Congrats!
 
^^^Still searching for those at a decent price. Kicks myself for holding out multiple times, those are one of my favorite GRs.

ugh same man..hate sleeping on a pair and never able to find it again at a decent price. nice pics as always ****zles!
If you have a New Balance retail store near you they will be able to order a pair for you, prob even give you a coupon to use towards it. There's still a bunch left at the Lawrence/Ontario factory just sitting on closeout. 
 
 
Saw the 998csam in little tokyo today, them ***** are nice. Definitely picking them up sometime. It's like a bright emerald green color.
Hoping to see them in the outlet soon, along with the DSLRs.

Random edit, saw this toe box on eBay and almost puked. 
Your def not gonna see the 997DSLR in any outlets lol unless they have 1000+ pairs of 2nds sitting around in St. Louis which I doubt since they would have sent those out to the factory stores before the holidays to sale, they're pretty much all but gone from the major warehouses/factories only a few sizes remained like time I checked.

Swapped to red laces on my GTs. Apparently doing that left some red stains around the lace holes. No biggie but I guess it's an indication of how easily this colorway will get dirty unless cared for properly

What do you guys usually use to clean suede shoes? Suede eraser + brush? Jason Markk?
 
man i wish they still had the perf toe box for nb1.. can't wait for it to come back. i shouldve made some when they had it :smh:
 
I got rid of my Grey 999s from the wanted pack so I plan on replacing them with these

Has anyone seen these in person? I know the suede probably wont be as nice, but they remind me of the 998GNR.
 
Happy new year to all!

Looking to cop my first pair of m998s. Specifically, the grey bring back made in USA model. Appreciate if someone can advise me on picking the correct size. For reference, I wear a 9.5 in all Nikes. The only pair of new balance I own is a MT580 and I wear a size 9 in that. I heard those fit big compared to other new balances so I wasn't sure if i should get the same size.

Thanks!
