NB needs to relax on that price. This is a $170 shoe at most. Pump the brakes nb.
When was the last time 990s were $170?

For what it's worth, with inflation 175 in 2019 would be 207 today. Non teddy tax 990v6s are 200

I caved in and grabbed the Lapis Lazuli 990v6, seems to be dropping off quite a bit on the resale market. Sub 10 sizes can be found around $300 shipped, which is not that much more than CA retail+tax+ship. $50 over retail is worth avoiding the hassle and time wasted on NB and AB website

“Avoiding the hassle”
It’s resale for a MIUSA NB

I'm in love with this silhouette!
I feel like I need more but I got so many shoes this concentration of 2 basic colorways w/ 2 unique ones is a nice balance.

New Pickup: Legacy, legacy, legacy...
All hype aside the ALD evergreen 550(these ain't even hype anymore tbh) is the best 550 colorway to me. Simple, clean and versatile as hell.
