It's still a made in the USA 998 right? As long as that's the case I'm happy with my purchase. My wife gets the road runner sports catalogs all the time. I'm going to have to start looking through the before she does now.

It's made in the USA, but the heel tab logo is different and the materials, maybe it's in my head, but when I held them felt flimsier as well as the overall build. The grey is a shade lighter then the current 998ch out right now too.I think they were marketing it and selling it as a true everyday runner rather than an aesthetic lifestyle shoe. If you intend to use it as a beater it'll be great!

I'm going to make them beaters but now I'm intrigued. I'll post comparison pics to my other 998s when they come in.
 
Hope I'm not breaking any rule by asking this here but...

Does anyone know where I can find the elite edition ML999GFR?

Waited too long to pull the trigger and can't find my size anywhere (13) deadstock.

Want these babies with a passion.

Saw a FL on Broadway on NYC had these on display was suprised looked like an 11 but they may have higher sizes

edit more 997s - pretty crappy website, but I've been to the store here in Toronto and they are a legit nb retailer.

also if anyone knows a site to get the 998 GNR in a US10 for under retail/on sale I'd appreciate a point in the right direction

I got a pair I'm selling.  Check your inbox.
 
Yo Lamont, semi good looks on that Capsule link. Really wasn't trying to buy anything right now, but took your bait. Figured $187 shipped wasn't all that bad.
