    Late day today but just arrived home to these... NB1 998 - "4630 Days" Inspired by our wedding colors & Chinese jade, my first pair of NB1s and I couldn't be happier with the results, they knocked these out of the park! Quick swap for red laces really makes them pop. Shoutout also to...

    Wonder if they tweaked the shape on the Fusion as well? Looks pointier than usual.

    Le Coq Sportif - the brand that makes grown men giggle.

    Amazing pickup! The hunt for the black pair continues but have never managed to find a pair in my size

    Thanks as always for the info! Just to clarify - sometimes when googling I've seen the 575 with the rollbar (the model used for the Solebox & Being Hunted collabs) referred to as the MD575, is this the same as the MT575 you mentioned? Seems like the bloodline of the original, CM575, and...

    Quick question about NB history - was just curious what is the difference between the two different 575 models? I haven't been into sneakers that long so learning about the history behind stuff is always fun. Also, ended up going with perf toe 998s for wedding kicks, pics when they arrive... :nerd:

    Mashup of the day: what if they had done the 991.9 with the v4 sole instead of the v3? Not too shabby...gotta love the gum sole on the NY4

    Those 576s look really exciting! Seems like they also release these every 5 years since the 20th anniversary? Kind of helps the wait until the next 1300JP haha

    I think he is right in saying the GL3 shape also changed in late 2016/early 2017 (possibly when they went to that new sizing chart?). Since last year there seems to be a more pronounced upward curve to the tooling, and the toe area is longer and joins the tongue at a more severe angle than...

    Thinking of getting some NB1s for my upcoming wedding...don't think I noticed any on the last few pages but are there any active discount codes aside from ICICLES and the usual ebates? Also for anyone that has used these colors, how different are Moroccan Blue and Dark Cyan in person...
