White laces from my 990V5. I think I like these better than the stock fat blue laces.

Don't get it from eBay, the same user (id4shoes) also lists on kixify, and it ends up being cheaper if you buy through there. I've never used kixify before either. I paid $264 USD shipped to me, and it took literally 3 days to get to my door!

Of course NB may release these in mass quantities in a few months, so who knows...

Also, tried out the NB white reflective laces. Unsure about this look.

Damn these look really good with the white laces. I’m finally sold on then!!

My unsolicited 2 cents: plain white is an improvement over the stock blue. The reflective...less so

 

[allloginstaken]

10 bucks above retail. Not mad.

Lol, if we’re talking about copping Nike to sell in here, I’ll throw out that I just sold my White Nylon Sacais when I realized I could basically pay for two NB1s with them. COME BACK NB1, PLEASE!

 

[HowTheGodsChill]

Pretty jazzed on these

Agreed. I've already removed them. Planning on just using the stock 'thin' 990V5 laces.

Hmm.. I actually wear a ton of Nikes (Jordans and Air Maxs) but I doubt i'll sell them to buy more NBs.

I’m laughing because I’m under the impression 90% of people assume seersucker refers to the pattern and not material.

do people really not know seersucker is a material?

 

[thefreshlife]

I think he means he wishes the seersucker was just not on the shoe, and not that he wishes it was suede or leather that was striped lol.

 

[turnmeAn]

So I know some people are sick of Baggies talk, but I think I'm finally ready to give in to the hype and get a couple pairs. I'm unsure on sizing though, as I feel I'm between a L and XL. Any advice?

/slowly backs away...puts Seersucker suit back in the closet

 

[GratefulReb]

Now I'm curious is the seersucker actual material or just pattern?

 

[LyteMyFire]

I still have some Dunks, Air Maxs, and Prestos (React and Original). Just less of a Nike boy than I’ve tended towards in the past after trying different brands.

I also couldn’t shake the feeling that I would have trashed the Sacais after a wear or two. I haven’t had all white shoes in ages. I like the design, just wish I had hit on one of the original mesh colorways.

 

[thefreshlife]

Seersucker is made from cotton and through some process given the striped coloring and kind of crinkled texture. I would lean more towards calling seersucker a material, because the pattern would just be stripes.

Like baggies, it’s a lifestyle.
