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

Looks like people who missed out gets another chance. Free magazine as well lol
I wonder if they only put a certain number of pairs up on release to day to make it seem like there weren't enough to go around to build up more hype... Now they're going to release them again, and everyone will think they are going to sell out instantly, but there will be plenty of pairs to go around... Just a thought.

Good tactics on concepts part imo... they want the demand to be high on these.
 
Time to change my Google calendar dates for the Boston red sox drop. Hope to make it my 4th pair of nb. Not gonna let it happen again like the miss on butterscotch

probs, like the Grand Tourers

side note on the GTs, def the lowest quality pair of 998s i have, took them out to wear the other night, both toe boxes are covered in wrinkles and bulging. idk what it was about that shoe but mine look absolutely horrible now.

^^^ This sounds like what Nike does with their releases.

I received my 997's today and they were definitely up to par with the Roses as far as quality and fit. I'm going to go out on the limb and say I think the Jcrew Butterscotch collab are still doper as far as colorway. They get my vote so far as best collab this year.

Now...what's going to suck is if they end up with these 997 Concept 'seconds' at the factory outlet stores like the Luxury Goods and I end up paying a high premium for this cracker jack box.

I was so proud of myself for getting the NYC 997 to my cart and then deciding to pass, but I may not be so fortunate this time around.

They restocked the Roses 2 weeks after the initial release and they went just as quickly. Did the Roses release internationally though or were those actual Concepts exclusive?

Great pair. I regret thrashing mine years ago. The leather on those is incredibly supple.
 
If i cop the 998 Boston Pair, and then possibly end up not wanting to keep them for whatever reason, think i will have a hard time letting them go on here for around retail + ship? Size 9 btw. I don't want to have to deal with EBAY. But basically i want to see/feel these in hand and then decide. Or does Concepts take returns on these special releases? Would i have to pay for shipping to return them? Just want the option to return/sell them and get my money back if i end up not digging them as much. But in the pictures they do look pretty awesome.

Yeah that was my plan for the 997NYC. But got caught up in a meeting. [emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
Got my NYC in today. Quality is supreme, as to be expected.

Pebble leather tongue is such a nice touch.

I think I will have to go back for seconds on these, just too beautiful. Good luck to everyone copping this weekend. You won't regret it. :nthat:
 
Anyone ever contact cncpt about a damaged shoe box? Mine came banged out.

Did they end up shipping you on or giving you a discount?
