Agreed. I got into NB due to how well the GRs were. Now with the lack of any made in USA models like the 996, 997, 998, 999, etc. The interest is not there for me. Luckily the 1500 keeps on board.
Haven’t done an official count recently but last time I did I was coming close to 300. NB alone maybe 220-250 but I have been buying shoes for about 10 years. I did however sell off 40-50 pairs in the past 6 months to support other hobbies.
