How did I miss these???? Anyone get a extra 10.5 and wants to pass it on?

 

[NoChecksJustBalances]

Very happy with these
Hit the toe with a little iron/reshape action and think it turned out pretty good.

Sucks you gotta do that for a 3 hundred dollar shoe

don’t understand these or the hype. Maybe I am getting too old...

Amazing. This has to be the best jp3 pic I have seen so far.
I recall you described it before, have you ever did a video on this? I would love to do that on my jp2.

Thanks my man! I have not made a video but I used a combination of an iron and also working the toe over the edge. The iron is easy and a bit scary. I can PM you the steps at some point today when I get a chance.

Way better!

Thanks dude!

great shot. feel like you've been MIA from this thread in the past couple of months

Thanks man! Yeah took a bit of break. Had other things going on and haven’t been buying much lately. Plus the cold is no fun to shoot in.

Yeah it does

 

[solidgoldplayer]

Pretty excited to see what CW I get. Bummed they ain't my size...

What size did you get? If it’s a 10.5, please let me know.

You’ve got to see the possible finished products at the bottom of the page. It’s basically a Sample Lab/Surplus version of the 998.

Let’s not compare them to SP whose materials/ color choices were far superior to these lol. Seems like some new posters in here were first to get these, coming straight from solelinks and posted no links for fellow NT-ers.

Man, did not even know those 998 surplus was a thing nor releasing. $110 for a pair of MiUSA 998 is pretty nice.

The purple/green pair is nice and wished I had a chance at copping

Agreed that the materials may not be as good as the Surplus pack. And agreed, seems like most long time NTers were caught off guard with this release. I’m looking forward to seeing the actual product, once they make it to their new owners.

would look great in a home office tbh

looks like they came out at 3 am ET?! that's wild

 

[vegetaray123]

Yeah that’s a bummer...Wish NB would’ve sent an email out or something...

Hopefully it isn’t a one off type of thing and they’ll do it again in the future with other models...

I am so chapped I missed these.

No way to extend the NB Reward coupons right? $20 and $10 expiring tomorrow that i redeemed around xmas time. Feel like I'm forcing myself to buy something I don't need. I'd use for Omn1s 3/5 but it expires tomorrow. Can CS extend them?

 

[bigty23]

So those surplus 998's are basically left over NB1's? If that's the case, I'm not too mad I missed them. Since they dropped at 3am, I had no chance at them anyways.

That’s the way I take it...Left over material from the end of the NB1 run used in a random fashion on each sneaker...

Same here I don’t understand these.
NB just needs to give me more 1500s

Pass that info my way too my man. My 2015’s can use a good toe molding.

 

[Thierry Henry]

unDS 990NB4 to hit the mall Saturday afternoon and then later to the Heat game

THIS is almost always the case man, it's comical how a collab uses 'amazing materials'... which later end up as a accent panel on a GR or less sought after Japanese collab.

I got chu

I'm literally in the same boat as you! I have $30 worth that I'll be losing if I don't buy something now.....sucks.

 

[shootermcgavin8]

Does anybody have any release information on these?

 

[getitaway]

Never been very creative using the NB1 tool, but I think this might be the first pair I make. Thoughts? Suggestions for improvement?

100. navy and grey daily joints that just dropped on my radar.
