yea the navy ones are getting scarce too.  what size are you looking for?

If these fit anything like the 998s i'd need a 7.5, seems like my NB TTS is about .5 lower than my Nike TTS.

yea 997 and 998 fit the same.  if you can go .5 bigger or smaller in your NB size you can grab the navy at blends.  they have 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 10.5 at retail...

Damn if only they had my size, im pretty particular about the fit of my shoes so I will hold out until I can find my 7.5.  Really appreciate your help though, I've never even heard of that site before.  I still wish I could find the Grey but that Navy keeps growing on me the more I look at it!

I don't.

yea dude.  can't go wrong with OG CWs.  the leather interior is a nice touch too.

Initially I thought cobblestone but the indigo has just blown me away now that I have them in hand at home instead of just cursory comparison in the store. What can I say though, I've ended up with both.

I agree. I loved the cobblestones from the pictures and thought the indigos were just okay, but I ordered both anyways since I get a pretty nice discount, and the indigos are far better than the cobblestones. Both are amazing quality though.

one of my favs, i bought them DS but the mesh in the toe busted  on one foot and looking like it needs a sole reglue

Been eying the Distinct Weekend 996 (M996DOL), but for $225 shipped, im passing for now. Looks clean though.

They had those 1400s at my local J.Crew too, they are much nicer in person than they look in the pics. I was proud I was able to leave the store without buying them. They are REALLY nice.

how do these guys fit? 

switching up jays on my feet for some nbs it feels like.

slowly moving out of the jays for nbs.

Any one know f these are coming to the states???

 

[dammitjamer]

I was looking in the reviews section and couldn't find anything on the New Balance x Kith x Fieg "Central Park" Collab and how it fit? I'm normally a 12.5-13 in most shoes because I have a wide foot and was wondering how they'd fit. Never bought a pair of New Balances before.

today..

Any one know f these are coming to the states???

I'd say it's a safe bet that they will, eventually. Hype in Australia usually gets NBs a few months ahead of the States, at a significantly higher price too...

bad quality control really, a reason to double up

so did you return the pair in question or just keep both? i would double up if i could find the dte again, just found this one, was a little late in the game getting these but they are a great colorway.

I haven't doubled up, I just wore the pair, didn't want to go through the hassle
