Just broke out my htb for firsy time in few months to see this. Looks like the butterscotch suede has bleed to the heel counter. Anyone have this issue?
Normal. Becareful cleaning as if you scrub too hard on the curry/butterscotch suede it does have a tendency to bleed or rub off.

I would let the shoes breathe. If you have a sunroom or patio, I would let them sitoutside for a few hours and breathe. It will help the smell die down naturally. Keeping them in a box will only prolong it or help the smell linger. I had a pair of shoes that that reeked of cigerette smoke from the buyer, which was awful too. With some smells , masking it with something else doesnt work as effectively.. hope this helps.

I put it in the shoe box with baking soda but I am thinking about just letting it air out in my basement (which is freezing right now).
More reps for you guys, thanks again for the help. I will keep you all updated!

I went to Europe and smoked a bunch of cigars. My clothes smelled terrible. So on the flight home I took a few hotel soaps and put it with my clothes. Smelled wonderful after the flight.

Late entry from last week. One of my favorite 998s, just don't wear them much cause I'm afraid to mess them up:

There will be a solid 3-5 restocks of these from now until Christmas 2018

Hard to say, haha. In store they seemed pretty adamant that they cut the production run of these numbers significantly compared to past releases but they've restocked past releases a number of times so it's hard to say for sure. My guess is that they may have actually sold out of sizes online and put up the rest of their in-store stock up on the website. But you never know with these things- I'm pretty jaded with these claims of "limited numbers" after seeing so many restocks in the past year.
Are you on the fence about copping?

I wanted them to hit discount before I grabbed.. but the stock numbers have been fluctuating on other sizes meaning they're updating inventory online at least some what. Makes me think there won't be a huge restock this time
Just grabbed the bta2 and the bkr before that

With the market so saturated so many amazing pairs have slipped under the radar. Love this pair.

Concepts has lied to me about this with the trail busters and I used to work with the kid. So if they seem adamant they are most likely lieing. I have talked with NB reps before and they typically set a threshold of 2k pairs for collabs and when it's lower than that they will say(ball and bucks).
Stores aren't stupid and know that consumers can "pull inventory", they can just put a low number to begin with and continue to restock, not to mention since NB produces made in the USA all their pairs may not have been received. Compared to made in china collabs the pairs have to be made in one
Bulk order because it is more expensive to do production in multiple runs since they don't own the factory. History will continue to repeat itself with concepts collabs, as you can see from their site. Concepts always cons a few consumers(mulysf in the past) with their fake news, sell outs and employees lieing to consumers that's how a lot of boutiques operate.

Perfect for this work conference. People don't notice that I'm not wearing dress shoes, and I get to rock some NB
