Wow that stinks... Do you already own the HTB 998s? if not, those are amazing but I know it still sucks to miss out on the butterscotches but the $50 on top is nice
What size?

You can't call the Greenbacks & Concepts RV Pack GR's tho... Those are Collabs in my eyes. For real though, the CHI's grew on me....

I have my eye on one but I've not pulled the trigger yet.. I think this could be the best beater for the winter season/ holiday gatherings
Or the J crew Greenbacks...
Also still looking for a lead for a 10.5 997BEXP... aka the one that got away

I tried to order the 12 last monday and after two days they contacted me and said there was an inventory issue and I was refunded. I was heated.

998CPLO

can not remember if the 997DCS came out this year but if they did they would replace the 998CPLO's. that olive nubuck is butter.
if i had to choose but so many others worth noting.

The NB 998 CSEF's are like the Frank Ocean tape tho.. They dont meet the cut-off for 2016. They dropped in late December of 2015 homie.. 
Trust me! They would have been on my list.

$189 though, would have been nice for a Halloween code to pop up at some point.

You're pretty much the same size as me. Did you grab a 9 or 9.5 in those? TIA

Agreed DBOA being the top GR release. Missed out on it due to starting NB late. Love that tongue details. Can't find it out there anymore.

I have 3/5 on your list...you have chosen wisely! hhaha!
I'd like to add just off the top of the dome:
ML2016BK: (entire pack really) The leather is beyond dope, the pebbled leather on the tongue, and suede on the heel tab. The guts are all memory foam insert, with comfort elements on the heal, the leather patch on the sole. Just a murdered out shoe IMO...The Brown and Grey are just as dope too...AND they are on discount everytwhere for way under the $190 retail
577ETO: (Majority of the pack) Super amazing shoe, bright colors, the 3M hits, the story behind it. Comfort as always....I have the orange and would like the purple and teal as well. Waiting to see my size ride and price fall.
998DPHO: So fresh so clean! WAY better in person! The grey out sole really helps make the shoe; I thought it was white from all the pictures on line. The smell is better than coffee in the AM! LOL! The newbuk is creamy and rich to the touch. When these hit outlets I'd double up for sure. A few months back Nubuk was up grade on NB1 and I passed because well I had no clue what it would look of feel like as Timberlands were my only touch reference. Promise when they bring back Nubuk or perf toe I will blow up the order inbox!
576PKG: Perf suede toe box, dope color blocking, made in UK, I shouldn't have to say more but IMO another slept on shoe. The grey joints are dope and IMO WAY better for a fall call up vs summer when they came out. IMO the pack got lost in the summer flood of kicks and the colors in the pack made no sense to me. Black n Grey cool, Black n royal blue...ok...the all red ones? Blurg! Hanon had them on sale for $70! I was tempted to double up!
M1500BY: DO NOT HAVE it ...YET! LOL!! Waiting on Black Friday codes(fingers crossed. In past years have the UK botiques done BF codes?) Anyways...Black and Yellow? Wu-Tang colors? Sold!
