Meh to those SS 1600's...

I had high hopes for that shop even tho they are shady..

Wouldn't be suprised if social status has another random fire and all their stock for shoes burn so they can collect insurance money cause those bananas are not going far

 Man I just fell out of my chair.

Wanna give us a little review?   Like, how;s the suede, sizing, etc? I'm looking to pick these up eventually but I wanna know if they're worthwhile..

Suede good straight buttery, has 3M on the upper the sizing you need to go down I wear a 12 and I had to get 11 1/2

Its a lazy and temporary fix to the toe box shape. The real fix involves real surgery. seperating the toe upper from the sole and extracting the toe puff. 

Much appreciation. I've collected nbs for a while but never been on this forum so I've got a ton to learn apparently haha

Speaking of this fix, can I ask all to show their toe box reshapes? I'm interested to see the different ways of doing it and how it turned out. It's all over IG, but, I'd like to see examples in here!

releases this weekend at several stores, i don't know what stores specifically 

 

[alexandnb]

Are these still available?

Shoe Gallery still has them in stock, just call down or email them and they'll send you an invoice. And NB.com, and I'm sure all the regular shops will be getting these this weekend. Oneness already has them up on their website, releasing the 6th.

Yeah it doesn't look that great.

Yeah. They look chunky compared to my other pairs of NBs

Just got my 997gy from UpThere on Austrailia. (For the record I work in logistics so I can safely guess what happened)
First. Box is jacked up. Obviously retaped at some point. They hardly double boxed it (put a barely larger box around the shoe box)
Second. At one point this box was wet. I'm pretty sure it's still damp and it looks to me the shoe has water damage. Check the pics and let me know what yall think.

@lukethewhale  man that sucks. The suede does look kinda funky.

Have you sent the store pictures and an email yet? Maybe you can get some sort of partial refund.

I'd try using a suede brush and try restore the nap as well, doesn't look too bad.

 

[MRBW]

These stores need to use better packaging.  Hate the ones that use those flimsy outer cardboard boxes.  The outer boxes Nike use are probably the best, more sturdy.

I'm pretty bummed. Not only did I pay 300 bucks (shipping, and to tbh I didn't research enough to learn I could find way cheaper) but I really love this pair. I emailed them with a lot of pics and I was cordial. I explained that the damag could be have been avoided if they would have shipped it properly. They did not double box correctly at all. You would think for a package being shipped half way around the world they would do that.

Exactly man. I manage the people who move these boxes. If you want it to survive any kind of trip, you need to properly package it. It's a bummer they didn't
