ngl I’d wear those 8040s with a muad'dib type fit

 

[Beerdman55]

This is my favorite 1000 colorway I have seen so far.

 

[s dubl]

Best cw so far. I dig those.

^that's the original colorway. but they got the internal heel piece wrong. it's white on the original. dunno why these brands always gotta mess something up. if you're gonna take the time and energy, just do it right.

My JFG 990v3s and Concepts 998s are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

...just in time for the good spring weather.

 

[s dubl]

Don’t get stuck/caught up in collabs… grs can be just as good/better.

 

[Davey Magoo]

I have a pair of grey 993s.

Team blk laces

Black isn't bad looking alone in a vacuum, but put them side by side with the default silver laces, I am taking the silver.

These just came in and I immediately swapped the laces. The sail laces are from a pair of 998 so it’s fatter. I’m wondering if the black laces would be better?

 

[rbk93]

Any NB you’d recommend for a wide footer?

 

[brian8598]

Any NB you’d recommend for a wide footer?

993 or 990v3 through v6. All generous width for the normal pair, but available in wider widths as well


Also, regarding those 8040's, I kinda think they're less offensive than the 9060's (which isn't saying much). The goofy hoof-style midsole/outsole looks more suited for that upper than the upper of the 9060, which is too pointy in the toe but more traditional NB.

You sure they all did?

alot of times eastbay had pictures of samples. this site has the white on a release pair- https://www.rootsbk.net/sold-sneakers-7/new-balance-10000-white-black-red-yellow-size-11-2e

could also be different factory runs (sorta like OG jordan 10s).

I prefer waxed cotton sail laces

They look like original NB laces. Where’d you get them from?

They're extra laces from a pair of Collegium sneakers, but I'm sure something like this would be the same.

NB is really missing an opportunity by not selling laces on their own.

This like a mofo; I got NB laces in my Book 1s rn

This thread really should be a NB consultant
