eebs7eez's application for TEAM NB
Ian or eebs from Ontario, Canada, 25
Favourite models: 670, 998, 1500
What got me into New Balance, like quite a few others here, is the fact that we don't have to hunt vintage markets for quality releases. I am into AF1's more than anything else, but I only get interested when I can find releases from 2001 or earlier. With New Balance, especially with Made in USA/UK pairs ( it is TRUE however that the Asia-made 998 have a more authentic shape) that quality is just as good, if not better than most vintage Nike's. Although it's not until recently that I began acquiring some, my knowledge is already coming along and I've now wound up with a few pairs that I like very much. I'd really like to join this group for the good-natured atmosphere of this crowd and for the fact that if you do your part to help out other members, everyone's very quick to return the favour.
i should have mojito's on the way, but instead i have 998 hunter green and 1600 grey/blue en route.
cheers!

Np. There should also be a coupon code for 10% off floating around somewhere in this thread. I can't seem to recall what the code was.

Location: Fort Dix, NJ (US Army)
Favorite NB models: 580s with a close 998s
Got my first pair back in '87...got into NB again when the HUF 580s Goretex pack came out in '08. I don't have a whole lot of NB knowledge but I know the quality and comfort are top notch, especially for physical training. Not pictured Fingercroxx 580s and Atmos 996s-picking them from PO tomorrow
and Red Elites 999s on their way.

Application for team NB.
name: Dylan/D aka kicksiscrackv2
Sz 9.5
I have been an avid sneaker collector for the better part of 15 years. Although I own and like numerous brands, I had primarily been a NIKE fan. I was always familiar with NB, when I was younger their higher price point kept me from purchasing anything other than a few 574s from time to time. The only models I saw in stores were those and the mall walker geriatric specials. It wasn't until I met a friend who was a huge NB collector that I learned so many more models existed. He had developed his habit for them while stationed in the UK and becoming close friends w a mgr at foot patrol.
The first NB I really lusted for was a collab( of course SMH), the mint c/w of the sole box 1500 (toothpastes). I was a little disappointed with not being able to get them, it seemed that most collabs I liked were extremely hard to get at a decent price. I was also becoming increasingly frustrated with my beloved NIKE. Although I continue to love them from a design and aesthetic standpoint, we have drifted further and further apart over the years. While my diehard/OG NB friends have voiced concern of NB quality decline, it is still leaps and bounds above what the swoosh is offering, and often at a lower price point. As you get older you care a little less about the flash and more about the substance. After being frustrated chasing colabs I started opening my eyes to see how great some of the "GR" cws are. NBs are among the most comfortable shoes I own, well made, and more subtle than a typical NIKE. Maybe those mall walkers were onto something!
I want to join TEAM NB because I believe in the community vibe of this thread and helping out others. I believe that the community aspects of helping others get a shoe should not be archaic, outdated or old school, that part of the culture needs to remain and continue! the money thirst of reselling needs to become a fad and outdated. Wishful thinking, I know.
favorite models: 1500 ( despite some shape issues) 1300, 990v1, and of course the 574!!

As promised, below are my pics.
I also forget to mention my favorite model. It's tough, but I'm going to have to go with the 998 first and the 996 a close second.
I included a close-up shot of my iPhone in case there is any issue regarding the tag.
I believe I received a +1 from GTFan712. Thanks man!

Europe. Don't want to deal with that headache, plus they don't have a size 11.5/Europe 10.5.
That Mojito restock last night was ridiculous. I had the shoes in my cart and probably spent 40 minutes trying to check out and getting database errors. When I finally got through, it said shoe was gone.
