I feel the 999 has a narrower midfoot but disregarding that they're about the same.

can someone tell me are these the mid-century moderns 998's (not distinct weekender like title says) just swapped out with blue laces?
pics are showing up dark on my comp...only reason im asking is because they have them for $210 not $240 like everywhere else

Well what's the point of buying a shoe that has been avalaiable at discount over the last year and will re release again or buying a pair of shoes that released awhile ago and only comes up every once and while?

I've been on a crazy NB (998/997/996/990) buying spree lately, and I am pretty happy with the quality, overall. One thing that is bothering me is the (outlet) cordovan 576s. They have no cushioning to them at all. After pulling out the insole, I figured out why...they have a hard (leather?) strip under it. I have been thinking of pulling it off, but am not sure if that will damage anything. Was wondering if anybody has experienced the same issue. Will it get softer with wear? Thanks in advance.

I have that same 576 and looked at the insole. It looks and feels like the leather insole that my boots have like Red Wing. After time your foot molds to your foot and actually becomes really comfortable. Some of my year old boots are more comfortable than any of my sneakers. Maybe that's what they were going for with the cordovan NB.I've been on a crazy NB (998/997/996/990) buying spree lately, and I am pretty happy with the quality, overall.

You think its the same type of deal with the 1400's as well? Cause those things are way less comfy than I expected for how much they cost.I have that same 576 and looked at the insole.

^thanks for confirming. I thought it might be a dress shoe thing. As far as your 1400s, just pull out the insole and check.
Despite it all, they're still more comfortable than my Jordan retros

Ya the 577s are one of those odd shapes where there is too much room in the heel and barely enough in the toes lol even though its not domestic made(i think) I would still go size down if you can. For reference I wear a 13 in Nike/Asics and a 12 in 577/998/1500

i went TTS on mine, and they fit fine. I go TTS on all my 577's.. To gauge sizing, I get the same size for 577's as I wear in Air Max 1 and 90's.

Was there a lot of room in the toe box? Man, i dont know what to do. Wear 9.5 in jordan 1s, 9.5 flyknit racers, the concepts rose i went tts but they were a bit long, and sized down in the concepts seals and they fit well. Thanks for all the input!

What are the chances they fixed the tongue slippage problems that the original 1500 had? Really not a fan of it on my flying the flag 1500.
