No complaints with those 997.5s. Need that abzorb midsole rather than the encap midsole or w/e was used in previous 997.5s

My first attempt at a custom.
Base was 577RKK but I don't have a before pic.
Decided to turn them into 577 Red Devils.
Not the best shots since I'm just using my phone.
Thanks to @JordDiem
for some customization info when I was trying to get it started.
What do you guys think?
Woooooo them thangs are LIT!!!

Those 997.5s are nice, but wholly unnecessary since I have 997GY. I find more need for a 997GY2 than the 997.5.

so question of the day is: do they fit like 997 or like 998? i guess 997 due to the upper. just asking because i normally size down .5 in 998 and stay tts in 997...

i think for people that prefer 998>997 will like the 997.5.
the people that prefer 997>998 will want the 997 in og form.

Personally I think its a great idea,, a lot of people enjoy the comfort of a 998 and shape of 997. As far as comparing it to JB is a little ridiculous...

Well I tried them on and they fit like a 998. But I wear the same size in both the 997 and 998. The toe box is sleeker/narrower then to the conventional wide 997 toe box. No plastic piece from what I could tell. Maybe a paper or something a little less rigid to still keep shape

I'm assuming it's going to be a GR after all NB isn't into making things to limited ecspecially when it's MIUSA and a classic all grey CW. Also have yet to feel this plastic piece in any of my NBs.
