Pretty sure those were made exclusively for the McLaren racing team a loooooong time ago; like 5+ years. Don't know much more than that because I don't remember their release. But I've only seen them online once or twice before.

Hey people asking about "going rates" on shoes that have already released: There is no going rate on resale shoes. The going rate is whatever you are willing to pay for them. The market sets the price, that's basic economics. If you want to see what price the shoes have recently gone for, you...

I really want to see some unedited pics of those cncpts and flamingos. I mean they look great in those pics, but the st Alfreds looked incredible with the right lighting and editing too... 

Made in the USA 576s? You sure...?

Lol wow. That's what lighting can do for you. The difference is night and day. I still think they're decent, but nowhere near the level they looked in the photos. How disappointing. 

Well in that case like you said basically any shop in Europe should be good for you. Do U.S. shops charge outrageous shipping to HK? Because you can also find some pretty good deals at U.S. shops, especially if you want some made in the U.S.A.s. 

Considering you listed Tresbien and end, I'm assuming you're located in Europe. In that case I'd definitely recommend SNS (Sneakersnstuff), Size?, and the good will out. There are plenty of European boutiques with online shops, those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'd...

Nice MTs! Wish they would release as frequently today as they did a few years ago

Right, well we know definitively CM stands for Custom Men's. I was simply positing that New Balance might designate certain GRs of limited quality as CMs, along with certain collabs. If you really want to know for sure why not just email New Balance? I'm sure they'd be happy to answer.  Edit...

You better have gotten a return on that investment... if you know what I mean 

Here is the link, directly from the New Balance customer service site. They used to have the same paragraph that Size? posted but I guess they've modified it since I last looked.  http://newbalance.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/58/session/L3RpbWUvMTM2OTYwNDE1NS9zaWQvWXVOZjFicmw%3D...

Several manufacturing sites actually listed that 990 as CM... not making that up. Google it if you want confirmation. And when did I ever say I had insider information? The original Size? quote posted in this thread came directly from the New Balance website! Size? literally copied the whole...

Btw I know it was generally posted but for everyone who is still looking for either of the new 1300s or the 998s Nicekicks has a ton of sizes for all 3 at 20% off (code SHOPIFY). If you were holding out for a deal this is probably the best one you're gonna get. ...

I assume you want an answer to your question? To be honest, I have no idea. I don't work for New Balance. I would assume it has something to do with a level of exclusivity in their GRs if they're putting it on shoes like that (for example the grey 990s were cm990s but the blacks and navys...

Or maybe they just really don't understand the American retro and sportswear market. We take companies with market knowledge like Nike and New Balance for granted, but they're based in the U.S. A company like Asics has to put much more effort in to tap into the U.S. market, and so far they...

Not to mention the Salmon Soles were almost identical to the Norse Projects. Regardless, that doesn't diminish what Fieg has done at all. It just makes him a hypocrite if he wants to criticize others for biting. 

At least cncpts showed legit inspiration for their collab. As long as that gold turns out to actually be gold, the only thing they really bit was the color blocking. And it's hypocritical of Fieg to be mad at that anyway... 

Sorry, I should have specified in my post that I was talking non-RF collabs. And those playcloths are more grey than blue, and w/o a gum sole. The thing I like about the StAs over the mono fiegs is that they are much more understated, and the subtle changes they made to the silhouette are amazing.

I have only one word. HOW!?!

Those St. Alfred's are the best collab I have seen since the Kennedys, straight up. Unless they turn out to be ridiculously limited or have quality issues, I'm sticking with that standpoint. Those materials look absolutely insane (leather lining!!!) and unlike the CNCPTs they're an original...
