Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

Repped. I’m gonna hold off, I feel like they can be had for less with a little more patience.

I was thinking the same thing, but it would be at most a $20 difference. End/SNS have the 991 at $200 so with 30% off it's still $140 or so shipped. It was worth it to buy now for peace of mind. Although End/SNS have a lot of sizes.

Can I go 998/997 size in 991?

Yes. I wear 8.5 in all three of those models.

Both these new miUSA pairs are on Saks.. Never seen them

997 Butterscotch
1500FA
991FA
999 Kennedy
1500BY
[998DPHO (double up]

The 999 I’ve seen I think NB has them on their site? But never seen the 997

Damn. I’m getting worried about my Kennedy’s... My order was placed on RD at 11:04AM EST, and I still haven’t received shipping confirmation yet.

The confirmation e-mail says 3-5 business days (domestic orders) for processing and shipping and 5-7 for international. I wouldn't sweat it just yet.

On the same boat as you!

My Kennedys just arrived
Have to run back to work but they looking great upon my initial inspection
Only thing I don't like is the weird ripstop/plasticy material on the lower half of the tongue

Can't wait to get these Kennedy's/Hyannis' in hand! These and the Mita Tokyo Rats are my 1 and 2 for 17'. This is the most excited I've been about a shoe in a while.

On a side note if anyone is looking for a 247 Tokyo Rat I've got two extra pairs I'm getting rid of (size 11 & 12). PM me.

Looks like a lot of people flourished on the Kennedy's release. Not a big fan of 999s, but it's cool to see the excitement around the release.

 

[drisk34]

Just came in, laced them up right away. Super happy to have finally been able to grab a pair.. Dont mind the sweatpants, I didnt feel like changing

Its my first 999, and I think im going to have to grab some more pairs now. Im liking them more than 997s.

still waiting for my kennedy to get pick up by usps....

 

[threegeees]

How are u guys not putting 1500SP on top of that list?

 

[threegeees]

This is what bothers me about NB these days .. These toes are all jacked up

I took it as releases from ‘17.

Full post up on Footpatrol of their 576. I'm really digging it. Not digging the price. Calculated it and looks like it'll be $225 shipped to the U.S. If I can catch these on a discount I'd definitely pick them up- these are too clean and I actually love the simplicity of the black.

I agree that toe is awful. In fairness, though, I've seen the work they've done on other all-leather mi-UK 576 and I've never run across this problem. The Liverpool joints were all-leather and every pair was not only super clean but the shape was actually amazing. Agree, though, this shouldn't be as much of a common problem as it is.

1500SP released last fall. 1500YP was released in January.

Those FP are absolute trash. Looks like something a cook at Denny's would be wearing in the kitchen.

 

[Red Run]

How’s Sizing on 574 sports?
I keep going back to those Mitas.
