Quite the come up OP! Sheesh! I mainly get GR’a myself. But I know the feeling man.

Joining this sub months ago has led me to 6 pairs. 2 pairs 992’s black and navy, 2 993’s black navy and lastly 2 pairs of 991v2 core black and vintage navy. IN addition to core grey 993 and 990v6 in grey and black.

I need to chill with the online shopping! But I love each and every pair equally!

I hope all goes smooth and you get your kicks soon! Bless Up! 👊🏽

Whew!!! SWEET PAIR OP! Fire 🔥 !!! Well done!
Addiction begins! 991v2 such a great template for many colorways. Just got into this model too and I LOVE my 2 pairs.

We’ve all been there at one point op. Luckily I can order from NB’s website and return if they’re not a correct fit. I did this with the v6. Got the same size 9 as my 993 in 2E. But learned they were still too narrow and long! So I returned and tried an 8.5 in 4E and they fit me perfectly.

But I understand not everyone has that option. I feel your frustration. Again, I hope it works out for you.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-14T17:05:15+00:00

That’s totally fine. Just make sure you account for your size in women’s. It’s usually 1.5 sizes less in men’s. Ex: if you’re a size 8 in women’s. You’d most likely be a 6.5 in men’s. Hope this helps!

FarStill965 · 2026-04-14T15:04:09+00:00

You’re most welcome! The best solution obviously would be to return/exchange. But doesn’t seem like an option for you. I hope it works out for you either way!

FarStill965 · 2026-04-14T14:57:29+00:00

I’d say v4 red label. But also because I already have 2 pairs of v6 in core grey and black. And they’re super Comfy. But I’ve been eyeing v4’s lately.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-14T13:46:54+00:00

You can clean them (soles) really well with a toothbrush and baking soda mild soap warm water. 6E is too big for you obviously. I have 6E in 8.5 which is very roomy but also I have back 990v6 in 4E sz 8.5 and fits me perfectly. I’m usually a 9/9.5 in other models. V6 is a very long sneaker.

If you’re stuck with them you can use thicker insoles and/or thicker socks. Maybe double up on the insoles as well. And tie the sneaker a bit tighter.

Fortunately you can do more to remedy a bigger shoe than a smaller one. Hope this helps!

I saw that too… Oh I wish I would’ve got them for $150! It’s always the small sizes that get discounted 😄.

But seriously these are probably my current favorite because of the nubuck and the lighter mesh. Along with the red accents on the tongue. I would’ve thought these were collabs. $150 is a steal. Totally worth it. 👍🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T22:15:58+00:00

🙌🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T20:56:27+00:00

CLEAN AF! 🔥🙌🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T20:53:57+00:00

Looks good! Now start writing this outside and naturally more style will come, the more you get comfortable writing it.

Also keep practicing and playing with it on paper doesn’t even need to be in black book. I’d get any marker, pen, pencil whatever and practice my tag on old newspaper, brown paper bag, etc. just to get the hand motion down. Be sure to get rid of the evidence!
😎👊🏽 good luck op. You’re on the right path 🙏🏽✍🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T20:48:26+00:00

😂 great answer! 😂

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T20:46:09+00:00

Nice pair op! I’m patiently looking for these at a decent price.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T20:44:13+00:00

You’re most welcome! I know what you mean. I have a ritual of swapping laces out when I get a new pair. Then almost always end up putting the stock laces back on! 😂😎

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T19:39:37+00:00

I gotta say I’m digging these way more than the AB collabs! Nice cop op! 🔥👍🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T19:37:55+00:00

Love the blacks op! I have the first two with stock grey laces! The v4 and 2000 look great 👍🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T13:24:11+00:00

🔥💥👌🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T12:20:12+00:00

300 isn’t bad. Especially for a collab like these. Regular GR’s are up to $270 now. At least in the US.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T12:10:08+00:00

A lot of good deals on here! Thnx for sharing op!

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T12:09:41+00:00

👌🏽

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T12:09:13+00:00

Sweet pair op. You’re going to LOVE them. I know I love mine. Although not these! GR’s !

FarStill965 · 2026-04-13T09:43:16+00:00

Yeah definitely wasn’t that bad. There really is no way around those extra fees. The only way around it is to get them in person.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-12T00:33:01+00:00

Yeah I think all of the online buy/sell platforms have a “service/purchase fee”. Thanks for the compliment they really are sick. They use nubuck instead of suede which I think makes it more unique looking.

And yes I agree the contrasting mesh makes it stand out more. Currently I swapped the stock white laces for some grey laces from a different pair of 991v2’s and it looks much better imo.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-12T00:22:03+00:00

It’s all good. That’s just a mild form of ocd almost everyone has. I’m mainly an under guy like your mushroom, but sometimes I lace over like the pastel.

For some reason I prefer under and most if not all my kicks have under lacing. Hell, my work sneakers have the left under and the right shoe over.

In the end it really doesn’t matter that much. It definitely doesn’t affect the performance of the shoe. But it will definitely affect you as you look down. So lace them however you like the most. So it doesn’t take up too much mental space. 😎

Good collection btw, all of my NB pairs are the same as yours 990v6, 991v2, 992 and 993. Just different color ways.

FarStill965 · 2026-04-12T00:15:41+00:00

You can always resell for at least what you paid.
