New CW of the 247 sports


How many CW will they produce in 2017? 20 maybe?

Got the feel that this model will be what they are focusing on now. With pretty much several more collabs, judging that the sales was pretty good and pricing isnt that high.

I've seen the upcoming catelogs for the next few seasons and they are making a SHIIT ton of 247's in every imaginable pattern and color. They are really focusing on the slimmed down Revlite iterations of the classics(don't worry they aren't touching the miusa with that nonsense) because thats what the trend today seems to be in regards to cheaper simplified styles. It also costs them next to nothing to produce the revlite tech since its basically just less of the midsole.

I would love to try the 247,if not for the bad review for wide footers. I don't want it looking like my GLV, or worse.

I am not too impressed by 247 thus far. still prefer the sturdy good old NB model. Hopefully there will be more reissue of the MiUK 1500

Definitely not a good shoe for us wide footers as far as on foot looks go.
Nothing worse than the foot hanging off the sides of the midsole. Otherwise pretty comfortable aside from the heel slip I experienced.

Yeah. That's the problem. Get comfy for the width by sizing up, suffer from the swimming toebox(tip) and heel slipping.

I actually sized down like a 998 and had heel slip. That was the crazy part to me.

Are you using the little loop on the tongue?

used to always do that but it doesn't really help enough. if the tongue wants to slide off its going to do it regardless

 

[newbalance365]

i guess I'm officially old cause I come from an era where you want your tongues to be on the side (aka crooked tongues) and where you don't tie your laces...fads and trends come n go, I guess

 

[platonjk]

the crooked tongue looks doper than it feels on foot. my steel blue 1300's do it just on the left foot its annoying.

oddly enough when it happens on my 577's it doesn't bother me.

i rarely use the lace hole in the tongue, throws off the aesthetic for me

I ordered 247 Tokyo Rats from Nice Kicks last week Monday and my order status is still unfulfilled. I contacted them via e-mail and twitter and haven't gotten any updates. I remember someone in here the other day saying they ordered something from them two years ago that they never received. Any one else having trouble with them?

 

[platonjk]

anyone get a pair of 997BEXP with a weird white powdery coating on the leather?

its wipes off but i'm wondering if the pair i got was tried on a bunch of times or what...the clothe is super linty as well.

Hey guys, looking for some help. I have a pair of Stussy x Undftd x Hectic MT580 (US10, used 9/10). Where is the best place to sell them? I was looking at Riff and Flightclub but, I feel must shoes selling on there are hyped shoes. Is there a FB group or twitter feed I can check out? Thanks for any help.

I tried on a pair at NB flagship in MA and was NOT impressed. Nothing ground breaking

 

[fuzzynguyen]

My pair of 1500BY from Hanon came in. They look worn smh. Hairs in the insoles and toe box wear. I just contacted them to try to get a refund but we'll see what happens. Bummed.

Somebody probably wore them for a day or two then decided to return them after their IG photo shoot... Where did you order them from?

People really be doing that on IG? 

 That pretty much why I refuse to get an IG. I deactivated my Facebook and barely holding on to my Twitter account.

Haha. I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty positive there are people out there who only buy hyped shoes to stunt on IG with them and never wear them again. 

I'm with you man, I haven't had a Facebook in 6 years. IG is all I have left.

Hopefully you get it sorted out. Hanon is usually pretty good with their customer service so I think they'll take care of you.

PayPal offers that return shipping on us service for up to $30

Agreed, hurt when I walked in them. Revlite was built for short distance running, not lifestyle or city sneakes. I feel as though NB is taking an L on them although they are selling out I don't think many pairs were made, they also gave a bunch away and threw parties in a lot of cities.

 

[vinylbeing]

End returns... i think u got 14 days to get it back to them otherwise i dunno

Ya gotta consider the cost of return shipping. From Cali, it costs $30 to ship back.

from my experience, if you only loop one lace through it, the aesthetic isn't affected.
