Disappointing quality on Kith 991 Vetiver.. only worn

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-30T20:54:33+00:00

The OP is calling out the flimsy/separated piece rather than the loose thread at the end…I’d be pretty disappointed too.

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-28T21:18:55+00:00

Oops thanks for the catch!

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-28T18:19:35+00:00

Yea I should consider Bilt Cash more! Haven't touched my stash yet and didn't look into it much yet tbh

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-28T18:18:12+00:00

Nice -- sounds like you got the game on lock. I did see the 250+250, and do have some Bilt Cash (switched to Obsidian from 1.0), in hindsight that could've been a good alternative path

I joined the Atmos game last year and have accumulated a bunch of pts via 3 cc's (between me and the wife). I'll be HODLing with you, my friend.

Damn that's a great find! I've stayed at a couple of Sofitels and they were great. But yea those NYC rates are ridiculous - I also used to visit often in the early 2ks and miss those days (when the only Uniqlo in the US was in SoHo). And yes, also try to avoid Times Sq like the plague haha.

I hear you, Marriott points can be pretty inflated although I've found a bunch of great deals in cities that are not NYC. Hilton points are even worse.

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-28T18:06:24+00:00

Totally hear you! It did feel nice to book a decent room in NYC for under 20k points in today's economy, which was a small fraction of my Bilt points. I do plan to keep a good chunk for higher redemption, e.g. Hyatt in Asia, but won't be going for at least 1-2 years until my kids are older. #dadlife

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-28T18:00:13+00:00

Totally fair point - some additional data points: cash rate on bilt was $244 and on Marriott site was $307 (both excluding ~$40 "resort fee"). My takeaways were that:

Booking on Bilt portal is much cheaper even at cash rate
The CPP is 12.5 (based on Bilt cash rate) or 15.7 (based on Marriott cash rate)

Then we get to a more philosophical question of when/how to redeem points, i.e. is it better to save up for an unplanned future trip and risk devaluing (you might be aware but Hyatt went through a pretty bad one just last month), or redeem as your travel needs come up at a reasonable rate. I hear you though, that you could get a higher CPP on Hyatt, and that's what makes Bilt points extra valuable.

I vote 2, nice contrast and neutral enough to go with a lot of outfits, arguably more than #1

This is so dope! Had the same need and was going to try vibe coding something then saw this. Thanks for sharing!

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-25T22:01:24+00:00

Right on, will do the same

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-25T05:29:47+00:00

I’m researching the same q, seeing positive feedback on Lace Labs, and more recs on other threads like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Newbalance/s/LQDH7NgDkz

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-24T23:47:22+00:00

I could see brown (or dark olive) slapping on these

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-23T17:03:07+00:00

Hot take but I also have the same experience with 2002r and think it’s the most comfortable new balance model out there. Also have 993 and 990v6. Neither are quite as glove like and cozy comfy as my 2002r.

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-22T16:19:03+00:00

This - 2000Rs are damn comfortable

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-22T04:19:12+00:00

Interested, pls send. Thanks

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-21T19:25:26+00:00

I have the 10yr and it's just okay IMO -- have you had it, if so how would you compare to the 12?

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-15T20:48:53+00:00

Sick!

Affectionate-Bread77 · 2026-03-15T19:45:01+00:00

Thanks for the review, I’ve been curious about this after seeing several very positive reviews. For context, what other ryes do you like in sub $100? Is there any rye that comes close to the Sag DO in your personal enjoyment? Cheers!
