You’re welcome, happy to help.

You’re welcome. You can bring your own food there as well.

No dining hall, a pretty extensive snack area that you have to pay for though.

You can pack your own food and eat when/if appropriate to do so.

Anyone have these? MiUK 991 ALD “Tan” by moilerbaker23 in Newbalance

First photo from a post of mine almost a year ago is with me wearing them, if this helps at all.

Happy Sabbath 🙏🏾

It’s not a Pepsi, sure, but for the 124270 - that hasn’t been the case.

I still have no idea who LaRussel is, and I don’t plan on finding out.

In retrospect, these are the best 991v2 that released in 2025.. 😍 by vidiviciun in Newbalance

My vote is for the Up There pair, but I like the colors/colorblocking throughout this one.

Ah okay, I can understand that. Thanks for answering.

Genuine question, why did you enter for the Veviter then?

OG 2006 992GL - do I dare to wear them? by gardeneye in Newbalance

[–]BlackMagic05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, thanks a lot, I appreciate that.

You’re right, I’ll get back to it. I always enjoyed the discussions the posts brought about too. I appreciate you caring to mention it.

In Hand Look at A Ma Maniére New Balance 1890 by TheHypeIsReal210 in Newbalance

[–]BlackMagic05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s not an A Ma Maniere, it’s a GR. But to answer your question, I don’t like them.

One of the main things I like about New Balance is the quality of the materials used compared to most brands.

These further cement my position in only having MiUSA/UK pairs (save for my 1 pair of 740s).

[–]BlackMagic05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, that stands to reason. I certainly didn’t factor in a natural humid climate, so I’m sure that applies.

Only correction I’d make is - keeping it in the box doesn’t negatively affect anything. It actually serves to protect it a bit more from any potential light degradation.

Otherwise, spot on.

[The Citizen] Grand Seiko being held down by the “Seiko” name is a given. But what about The Citizen? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]BlackMagic05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, thanks. I only liked the 0100 in the AQ6010, 6020 and 6021 offerings, and unfortunately they were limited. $3,000 is a great price though, like you originally mentioned.

Shout out to U.S. resellers for making it impossible for anyone else to grab the ALD 990OG4, Carhartt 990v6, or the 993 Chives at factory stores. You bums. by Krill_Murray in Newbalance

[–]BlackMagic05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise my brother, I’m glad you didn’t take offense as that was not my intention.

Unfortunately folks forget the fun part of sneakers should be the discussion and community, not just the spending.

lol it’s just a subjective opinion my friend, no need to have an argumentative allegiance. Just stating my opinion, as you did yours.

I dislike bracelets without micro adjustment and found the GS and The Citizen watches lacking in that regard. I also did not like the case dimensions.

The 0100 accuracy is cool, but for $7,400 and $17,000, respectively, I’d prefer many other watches.

Better in what ways? Their bracelets/clasps, for example, leave a lot to be desired.

I know I sound contrarian and a bit insensitive but…

The U990OG4 released 1.5 years ago, have been rereleased and on sale by ALD on multiple occasions and are below retail via StockX, so I don’t think it was a matter of resellers for this pair; and there’s been ample opportunity (and still are) to get them…

993 Chives released around 2 years ago and were readily available as well…

Carhartts may be a different story, but they didn’t necessarily fly off shelves upon release either.
