I'd consider great GR 997/8 to drop on a "regular basis". Great 1500s don't drop near that often imo. I see alot of flat out awful 1500's. There are nice pairs here and there.

Well there's 5 times more workers in the US, more incentive to producing products in America of course there are going to be more pleasing GRs but to say that there aren't many or any solid 1500 UK GRs is a little ridiculous they pump out a few good CWs each season. Also seeing the fact that you couldn't even tell where they are made(heads up it says it in the inside of the tongue) tells me you may lack some common sense. Like 90% of shoes/ clothing theres a tag somewhere inside the product that tells ya. Also IMO the are a pretty ****** 1500 collab, just a plain sand monotone CW that they do with just about all of there collars but to each own

Have you seen them in person? I was unsure about them and then I saw them in person the craftsmanship on the tongue and quality is great. I agree english tenders are dope, they deff produce more 577s now because I think they're trying to sell the deconstructed/ reengineered 1500s more now but they still produce solid 2 or 3 pairs each season. To say they don't drop any good ones is just stupid specially when you're trying to say the UA are solid 1500s/can't even tell where they are made

Blah blah blah luckily I didn't ask nor do I care about your opinion, or justificatication as to how many workers work where and blah blah etc etc. I simply stated my opinion which I'm entitled to and I stand buy. I never said that there aren't any good 1500s, I said there aren't many, especially compared to the 997/8. iirc I had 3 1500 GRs on MY list in approximately the last year. The 1500SA, FR, and the new TG. The GBT would have made the cut without the mint accents. So 3 pairs which pales in comparison to the amount of great 997/8's.

Luckily I've been browsing NT long enough to know you are a crap starting troll and it seems like often times when you engage with another user that usually dozens of multi paragraph posts of arguing and bickering follow. Take your itemized insults, links, and nonsensical multi paragraph replies to someone else. Don't waste your time or any more space in this thread with another asinine rambling response because I wont be replying again.

Everyone has their own taste, but 1500NAVs and FPs are nice IMO, and have very good quality and craftsmanship:

Nonsensical I mean it makes perfect sense that there are more MIUSA products because there are more factories. But seeing as you can't even figure out where a shoe is made on your own speaks a lot about your common sense. Also very hypocritical because that was multiple paragraphs

Was thinking of pulling the trigger on these from End earlier this past weekend.. My broke-*** rationality provided me the willpower to keep me from doing so. But these pictures are justifyingly clean...

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.

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.

I tried that, but the chick on the phone said they were sold out everywhere.  Not sure if I believe her b/c it seemed like she just didn't feel like looking at store stock.  Oh well--maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

You have to call multiple times until you get someone who is willing to help you out. Those *itches are lazy af most of them anyway. :lol:

my other option is these, which will actually fit me perfectly, theyre just like 100 more though. they're slightly worn, just the insole kinda threw me off. Looks slightly discolored

GUYSSSS!!!

went to my local jcrew store last friday and ask for my size of the jcrew X new balance 997 and they sold out of my size but the manager helped me called to another store to order a pair of J Crew X 997 with special with wooden box in my size over the phone AND waived the express shipping fee. Luckily they applied a college student discount for me by showing the manger my student ID and i just goy my stuff yesterday. 

Definitely happy with this purchase! 

just trying to help you guys who want the shoes bad and missed out on the release or who want a second pair.

Yeah, that's the vibe I got.  Like she instantly knew exactly which shoe I was talking about and didn't even bother looking.  Will try again mañana.
