Here's my humble collection, I try to keep it quality over quantity. SEALs were the pair that got me back into NBs but since it'd been so long I copped them too big and ended up selling them. Waiting to add the CJs next week.

nice, needs 997gy

anyone interested?

What size are these?  And are they DS?

 

[HalaMadrid89]

 
A size 10.5

take your SB size and go 1/2 down.  It'll be a perfect fit. If its a little snug- no worries because 998's break in nicely - they will stretch out a bit once they break in. hope this helps to clarify things bro...

I wear a 10.5 in SB's, 10.5 in AM 1's and 90's... In 5 series (574,577, 580) NB's I wear 10.5.  In 998 , 999, 1300's - I size down 1/2.  In 996's I can go either way.

Thanks for the input! That was very helpful!

Thanks man. I passed on the 997GYs for the Navys and by the time I realized I wanted em, they had dried up.

Reeeeally happy with this. Planned on the lace switch as soon as I saw the pics a few months back. Looking forward to rocking these. Was thinking tomorrow but that rain...

 

[rchrstphr]

Concretes shipped that lace swap is nice, I would like to see some tonal olive or forest greens too.

 

[panaricanretro]

^^^^Yeah I found some olive/brown rope laces online I might order and try them out. Not sure yet, if it doesn't look great what else do I use them with?

Save yourself the effort...some already posted on the bottom of page 977 in this thread. 

 

[panaricanretro]

Took one anyway. Just to have a pic of it.

i've been looking for a picture i stumbled upon a few months ago, but having trouble finding it now.  it was an older picture from the early 90's.  it was cool bc both Bill Clinton and Al Gore were wearing the 997GY in the same shot.  anyone happen to know?

I found this through a quick google search, Gore's wearing 997GYs but Slick Willy's wearing some sort of Onitsuka Tigers or Asics.

Still had time to get some McD's!

 

[reefer jazz]

LOL McD's.  the one i saw was different, but still great pics.  Bill favored his Asics, and Al Gore favored NBs.  but there is a pic floating out there with both of them in GYs.
