If these had a gumsole they'd be almost perfect. Has there been any gumsole on 998 or 997?

The m997jc3 Cortado’s have gumsoles too

M998jcw from the JCrew sale

I ended up picking up a pair of these the other night based on your pic. They look great.

I hunk those were actually just tan colored outsoles not the usual translucent gumsole rubber

Does anybody know the deal with the "dark shale" suede on the NB1 program constantly (selling out)? Is having a brown hue too much of a game changer so they artificially pulled the color of the wheel. I'm just curious on the politics and decisions on Dark Shale only being on the color wheel for a total of 2 weeks..​

What kind of record shelf are those? IKEA?

I’m looking for a decent one...

Yep. 2 IKEA Kallax 4x2. After years of searching, I’ve come to terms that I’m going to spend a solid chunk of money on something that’s not ikea that’ll house my collection. I’d rather put that money towards my system.

Nice collection . Think I see kind of blue, heartbeat city and “rugged like Rwanda”

Nice eye. Great 8 steps reference. Highly recommend that 45rpm Kind of Blue.

990BD today.

Are the M997GY and NV getting wider re-releases or something? I recall starting to see them pop up randomly in boutiques over the last few years but SNS just dropped these two along with the BK. The shape all look great, btw, not nearly as bad as the M997GY2- those had the toe puff while these seem to not have the toe puff (judging purely from the product shots).

Anyone here run in 990v4s?
Currently run in Nike Zoom Flys, looking for something different.

No. They're lifestyle shoes and aren't meant to be used for running.

Edit: My B fellas! Didn’t mean to give out bad info here. Go for it kafka !!!

I don’t know if that is necessarily true. They are under the “Running” section of the website. Not trying to be a turd or start a fight, but I could have sworn I heard someone say in here they switched from the 993 to the 990v4.

no sweat. you can find them on the next todd snyder, jjjjjjjjjjjjound
etc. nb1 collab.

The v4 is a running shoe marketed as a lifestyle shoe IMO. I know people who run in v3 I don’t see why v4 wouldn’t be a viable option.

I see what you did here... ​

Does any one have a lead on a size 13 in the Packer shoes x New balance X-90 'infinity'?

Could always try StockX.

I've ran in them a few times they're great. way better than 993s for running. every new 99X shoe is both a performance shoe and a lifestyle shoe. older models get relegated to lifestyle status. the 990v1 was a performance shoe in 1982

 

[thecheef]

Could always try StockX.

Unfortunately I already did and im not into over-paying for what the seller has them listed for

Crazy you ask this.. when Vidi said that was one of his regrets of 2018, I shared the same FOMO. I have been searching everywhere for a pair and got lucky on a pair off of the Goat app for $100 - I can let you know in a few days

Hard to find a pair atm... They were a Cncpts only drop? Any chance of wider release?

Photos look dumb hard.

I do believe they were Concepts only. It was also like 6 months ago. They were also pretty much an NB1 off the old color wheel...
