LPU: M1300AL and M1300AD

Spoiler: More photos

Crazy photo galleries lately, loving the details on these!

Just to play devil’s advocate.... I highly doubt any of these ALD enthusiasts were wearing 827s or 550s either before those dropped.

didnt the 550 not retro until the ALD collab?

 

[childsplay]

Good chunk of ALD enthusiasts weren’t even wearing Nbs before the first collab

Appreciate it man, gives me a reason to take out my kit!

Correct

ALD retro'd both the 550 and the 827, so in a way they claimed those models up front. The 1300 already had a big flex on its own last year, with the OG 1300JP, the updated RC1300 with numerous collabs, and a ton of nice GR releases. However, if you are comparing the popularity of the 1300 vs. the 990, wayyyy more people will know the 990. So those are 2 more "strikes" against the model. I'm saying this, but I'm also patiently waiting on my preorders to ship and love the 1300.

to those that sized down on 550s, how’s it going?

Werd. It's dudes that got the least to show that got the most to say they got opinions, but no on foot pics, no pick ups, no collection shots. Nothing but a keyboard.

Yikes, ask me to enlighten you how you are a terrible consumer and you have the logic that you have to have clout to make valid points. you really are more of of a dumb/hypebeast consumer then you originally came across! Bet your patiently waiting on a supreme collab with Nb!

If you don't know how to cook, I don't want your opinion in the kitchen. If you don't know how to drive, I'm not getting in the car with you behind the wheel. If you don't know your ****, don't talk it. I've never seen you contribute anything such as on foot, pick up, and collection posts here. That's kind of the heart and soul of niketalk - showing each other what we got. All you do is make baseless claims about how well you know this brand, but you've got nothing to back up your info or claims with. So how do I know you have any idea of what you're talking about? I don't.

Honestly you're even worse than modus in the air max section. All this hate for NB yet you're still here on NT to talk about them I work from home so I don't mind taking the bait, helps the days go by.

dusty pink looking like the better choice. maybe i could trade my greens.

 

[1212theory]

^agreed, dusty pinks look great.

Man I feel like a complete Noob asking this but I've removed myself from the NB/Sneakers for like the last year. This has been my least amount of purchases in a decade. I think I bought only 2 pairs of NB's in the last year. I had to stop following closely as not to go broke...lol That being said. The ALD 1300 in pink. I have a decent line on a pair for just enough over retail I don't feel too bad about myself. What's the hype level on these.? When I was in the thread eveyday I could judge a little better but now I'm lost. For the record I want them to wear I'm just trying to get the best price.

they're not going for much higher than retail at the moment. guessing by the time they release in may, theyll be bricks.

mannnnn was just saying this! Maybe because I still don't have my pair and I keep seeing the pink

990KBM2 popped up on ssense for a sec and sold out quick. Couldn't cop quick enough deciding if I needed them. Already regret the fact I took too long

1300=8.5, 997=9:

Thanks. So you went down a full size on the ALDs from your TTS (and you go .5 down from TTS on your 997s?)? Not sure if it’s an optical illusion or not, but the 1300s look wider and the same length as the 997s? Appreciate it!

 

[JPS]

runners781 is your PM option available? I need to speak to you about a private manner

Everybody gets a ‘collab’ with all those leftover materials.

No I'm a 9. 997 are definitely more narrow by a noticeable amount.
