They don't sell them online at ikea, so either eBay or Google search. Theyre a dollar apiece, so dont pay much more, you can get some decent ones at walmart for 4 dollars set. One of the homies in here had them, I think jerkstore? Probably offed them already, though

ikea is fine if you're willing to drive and hunt. amazon also have them tho ebay will be your cheapest. about 2 bucks a pair.

Is there honestly a practical use for plastic shoe trees tho?

 

[9fresh]

9fresh I got them from Ikea. They call it “omsorg”, and they’re a dollar each. I dont think they’re available online, but there are a bunch of resellers on eBay.

Got it, thanks.

Has any one ran in their 990v4? I'm interested to hear how they perform on the pavement.

It helps maintain the shape of the shoes

 

[vinylbeing]

i own cedar shoe trees too; primarily for dress shoes or work boots. plastics are good for sneakers since they provide enough form to prevent creases and doesn't stretch the material as much as wood.

Other than maintaining shape I've had a few pairs that were too tight off the bat but I threw shoe tree in and they've stretched out to a comfortable size

Thanks NB. Much love always. The shape on these are just great.

can never go wrong running in a 990vWhatever. unless you need something super lightweight these are gonna be some of the most diesel shoes you can run in. the carbon fiber shank is a nice upgrade from the v3. mos def made for pavement. yasiin bey approved

 

[newbalance365]

990s are not good for neutral runners

 

[badpriorities]

Jebus!!

Do you work for NB?

 

[Red Run]

I get the ikea trees on Amazon usually. I’ll also take a folded up plastic bag and put it inside under the toebox.
I feel like they’re too narrow alone so I use the bags to help fill out the toebox and tongue.
Obviously they’re pretty weak and don’t compare to a lot of cedar trees, but just for keeping shape they work great imo.

Dizzam G, you got busy with the nb1s. You feel like making space, hoolllaaa!

 

[remy]

Should have made at least one more pair with the mulled wine midsole

 

[remy]

Also wore these all weekend. Been wearing them a ton now that I have a backup pair.

Return of the 574 has begun, it would appear. Shape, materials, colorway(s)

Also, I've never been more bummed not to have 8,000 NB points:

Concepts is coming out with a 991.5....

 

[krueger3737]

Made in the UK? edit Deon said it is UK made

 

[remy]

Idk how I feel about the 991.5.
If it is MIUK for an American shop hopefully it starts a crossover trend and we see some euro shop/USA model and vice versa

 

[B Sox]

That greenish color looks

 

[remy]

Cranked up the exposure. Looks like a light and dark teal/green colorway.
Of course this could be off though. Not a miracle worker.
