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

wonder if they’ll be exclusive to just ALD or if some of the other retailers will get them too like the 997s

 

[Southtown]

Never a good sign when they do an instore release a full day before online

For real. I doubt much stock will be loaded online.

For real. I doubt much stock will be loaded online.

Boutiques now have full discretion on how much they can list online. So they could list one size run if they really wanted too and just resell the rest. Or they can pull a kith and have it say “sold out” immediately. ALD seems to operate very similar to kith and Trust fund Ted and Aaron are great friends, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes a similar route

Anyone who went in person in the spring know if you were allowed to buy one or both pairs? I’m contemplating going although I know it will probably be a massive **** show

 

[runners781]

both pairs for $600 is what I’ve heard

 

[NoChecksJustBalances]

Damn I've been waiting on a good look at the V5 and they don't disappoint, I wonder if they'll come with white laces like the poster. Really looking forward to getting some good looks at the apparel from this ALD collection too.

Yellow laces would make em pop more

 

[NoChecksJustBalances]

I’ll def try for the V2, doesn’t cost much to enter a raffle. Not really feeling the V5

Today (perfect for fall)

Complete opposite for me v2 are bread loafs to me them v5s are sleek good luck bro

 

[infamousbape]

V5 will have a wider release...

 

[runners781]

Wouldn't be shocked if the ALD CW hit the NB 1 wheel at some point

Beams x 990v5

Nordstrom

Will these be available in a size 12? Hate when Japanese collabs only go up to 11 lol

 

[squizzy3000]

If runners781 is right about ALD pricing, even if V5 see a wider release I’m not even touching for $300.

They didn't markup the 997 that much, would be tough to see them price both at $300 but wouldn't shock me

 

[hennessy beach]

If I remember correctly, you could only purchase one pair of the shoes last time

but this is two different models so id imagine it's a different scenario

 

[Golfdog]

To those who tries for the 997 on the ALD site, how was it? Crap show? Is it even possible manually?

the ALD 990v5 will be just a little bit over general release v5 retail price.

I copped manually and it was relatively easy. No lag on the site...I even went back and forth deciding if i wanted to grab both pairs (only went with the canary). I’d imagine the 990’s are going to be different. I’ll be trying for the V2, but not getting my hopes up

what’s the point of holding out key information like this? I understand that your an NB employee, why is relaying the information handled in such a manner?

I got both in a single order... I doubt this release will be anywhere near as easy

Man these are clean . Sorry if posted.

Honestly, i don't see price stopping people from grabbing them. Even if these would marked up to hell, some in here would buy them regardless. Given retail for a GR is 175, and soon to be 180, we all knew it would be higher due to collab markup.

Wonder if these have a custom box like the 997s that came from ALD.

 

[juanvaldez]

No chance I get to grab those V2's. If there's a wider release, I'll pick up the V5's.

 

[Air_raw09]

What's up guys going to get 997 anyone know how these run?

 

[Golfdog]

0.5 down

 

[nacho15]

I just hope some retailers in Europe get those ALD eventually. I love both pairs

my bad. we can all go back to thinking they're $300 each.
