Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

I mean, a lot of shoes have used the yellowed midsoles for a while now. It's nothing new. What's new is the process of 'aging' the upper of the shoe and inducing more wear and tear into it without wearing and tearing it. Now to me, THAT is lame. Cause the oxidization of the midsole takes yearsssssssssss, so I'm not trying to wait. I don't like my midsoles on most shoes crispy bright white. But I will just wear a shoe to let it rip, scuff, and get aged on the upper. Vs cosmetically doing so to look like a social trend setter. lol
So much this. Develop real wear and tear from wearing a pair of sneakers, and hopefully, you create a couple marks that serve as a nice memory of when it happened. Hey, anyone is entitled to do whatever they want to their shoes, but I personally prefer things to happen more organically.
 
Some GR 2002R arrived today, went with my usual NB 11. Colors reminded me of JCrew 998 Concrete Jungles. Very pleased with these

Super late to the boat, but here's my first 992s. I was very unsure about sizing, but went TTS and these fit perfect. They fit about like my 997, maybe a bit more snug.

My size seemed a little more hard to find than other ones, so I had to pay resale for the set, but happy to have the trio complete. Still waiting on the Burgs to come in, but these are both very nice. Glad they don't have the typical glue issues that seem to happen on a lot of 992.

These pictures make me want the red pair more and more...

Had my bid accepted today for the teals and looking forward to getting them in hand. Safe to say it won’t be the easiest trying to find the right time to wear them... but I’m up for the challenge.

yea i meant artificially doing it. i remember nike did it with some pre-yellowed dunks and airmaxes years ago and even those looked goofy. but some shoes just look better warn.

these dudes are doing anything ot make their shoes look warn besides actually wearing them lol

Yeah I was unsure about the red pair at first. After I bought the teal and burgundy I kept seeing pics of the red in hand and they really looked great, so I had to go complete the set lol. You won't be disappointed if you end up grabbing them!

Your blue pair just got dirty by people looking at these pics ... I need them! :rofl:
 
Next thing you know guys will be out here shaving the top to rock the horseshoe and women will be out here intentionally giving themselves stretch marks.
Please send the blueprint how to give self stretchmarks.
I think this all white sole is gonna bother me too much. I think I’m gonna go the piss route. How many days do I have to go without drinking water to get the right shade of yellow?
EAT A LOT OF ASPARAGUS.
