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

400

I'm all in.
 
Just caved and ordered the 997 butterscotch on the phone. Couldn't get the Jcrew student discount, but they said I'm getting wooden box so I can't complain. Tried to talk them into packing the original NB cardboard box but they said they didn't have extra boxes. Oh well. I'm happy to see them in hand with special box.

Received the 998 royalty today. Not impressed. Thin toe box suede, toe puffs, and toes came pre-creased. Even at sale price, I can't do it. Back they go.
 
Supposedly the Pine Barren 580s are limited to 500 pairs... Probably going to be my 4th Packer strike out in a row :smh:

I may try to head out to the Jersey City store and pick up a pair...I have missed out on a few releases as well...last one I was able to get were the saucony casinos and snow beaches..but missed the asic bucks, bloodbaths and purple tapes...hoping to get these and want to get the jacket. Jacket is sick... I like how they used the Patagonia logo and had it read "packers"

Yeah jacket is nice, and I struck out on the same 3 releases as you lol. I'm out in Houston though so it's online or bust from me.
 
when is NB going to realize we don't like toe puffs?  i've already stopped buying gr's even on discount..
 
So is it safe to assume the Butterscotch joints are done? Was holding out hope for a restock but it's probably just wishful thinking.
 
Hmmm. Several j crew past collab is still available at their page. Hence i believe it will probably restock? But i am hoping to get one from NT fam if there's any.

I'm sure the restock will be instore pairs tossed online, but I've been hearing it's a one off release.

Have you tried calling J Crew and have them try and locate a pair in your size sitting in a store somewhere?

I havnt resorted to doing that yet, as Im still trying to hold myself back, but many others have been successful in doing that with many older releases.

Call jcrew customer service and speak to a "stylists" they will add you to a waiting list and will ask for your payment method. Once a pair is available they will automatically bill you and shoes ship out. If 30 days past they will take you off the list. I have read in some previous posts that some people did that and were successful within a few days.
 
And on a sidenote...Rest In Power to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest...

"I wear New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path"

No bs, because of that single line from "Buggin Out", I had my parents cop me my first pair of NBs which were 574s...and a matching Champion crewneck because of the video...
 
There won't be a restock j crew has a list of people waiting for a pair so the returned pairs have been claimed

I think they're doing something because I get linked in emails when they have new jobs and a lot of assembler jobs and other jobs like that come up frequently
