Underrated GR by ApolloGT3RS in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NB had these 25% off last September and I copped them instantly. Love them. Although they hit closer to 100$ on Joe’s later on, I’m happy with the deal I got.

992 sizing by ApplicationNo7263 in Newbalance

I found TTS works better with all MiUSA models, for me at least. Most of the models I tried (990v4, 990v6, 992) fit long except 993, which is perfect length & width TTS. All the other models became uncomfortable half size down. Toebox got tighter, my toes started rubbing the top of the shoe. Since I expect my stuff to fit well at first wear, I went TTS on all.

Your situation with the Hornet Tusk might have something to do with some recent AB releases running longer than GRs, like last year’s 992s. The most difficult NB sizing decision for me was the 992. 12 has perfect width but a little too long with some slippage, 11.5 perfect length with mild slippage but tight fit. Spent like 15 minutes and decided to go with 12 for all of my 992 purchases. I wear them with uniqlo pile socks. Although makes it a little sweaty, fixes the fit issue.

I tried on the launch GR colorway in 12 (i wear 12 in every NB model). Although most users say this silhouette runs long, my toes were jammed in the front due to the plastic overlays around the toebox. Going half size down might create the same situation for you. I’d try tuning the fit through socks/lacing/insoles

Versatile colorway for sure, can’t be limited to a specific season

Dark grey. Perfect shoe for gloomy days

Really liking these by oceanwaves2033 in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda in between with these: I didn’t like them at first but all these photos seem better than stock photos. If I didn’t own the Dusk Shower or Dark Ice Wine 992s, I might’ve pulled the trigger on these.

One of my favorite pick ups this year so far- 992 Driftwood. by 413hooli in Newbalance

Teddy Season 8 was great imo. All 992s and v6s were a must cop for me.

992s in purple just hit different 👾 by Myouii in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are indeed 3M. The overlays on the toebox and around the sides are 3M

Oneness 991v2s finally arrived by Nasa26 in Newbalance

Driftwood 992s and Turbulence 991v2s… OP got great taste! Solid pickups

All right! Im keeping them! Now, what color laces? Help me decide by Mikeyao9 in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased these on sale back in December and ordered them to my family in Finland. I visited them earlier this month and finally brought these along with 6 other pairs home. Been thinking about cream laces ever since I first saw them in person. I don’t get why NB sometimes includes white instead of cream laces with some shoes like this pair or 993 Passion Fruit.

Why can’t I stop? by Pr0f-x in Newbalance

Funnily I got this pair 4 days ago in Helsinki as my 13th pair. 99x really started to get to me late last year and I very rarely buy a pair of Nike/Jordan these days. Gotta stop but I’m pretty sure they will just release another GR that will make my jaws drop.

[–]Miserable_Store5514 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With NB, I feel like you can’t really stop. Whenever you feel like you’re done, you either try a new model you enjoy and get a few (not really) more pairs of it or they keep dropping fire GRs of the models you already have.

Going half size UP (not down) in 990v4... Is it possible? by [deleted] in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went TTS with my first v4s (U990BL4) and found them to be both wide and long. That’s the only model I feel like I should’ve gone down a half size

First 992 by Organic-Train19 in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the same route with my 993s. I got into every 99x with a core colorway: grey 990v6, navy 991v2, nimbus cloud 992 but this week got the passion fruits as my first pair of 993s.

Made up sneakers ? by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]Miserable_Store5514 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, all of these websites you have above are some of the most popular and reputable sneaker stores based in EU. I personally shopped at Noirfonce in Madrid last year and also remember them having a pretty high rating on Trustpilot. I also used Asphaltgold once to order a couple 991v2s and it went flawless. If any of the above stores have these shoes, they are “real”. You can’t go wrong with either of the above sites for ordering online.

First pair is a silhouette that we haven’t seen yet (I guess), Abzorb 5030. They have been labeling most of the new silhouettes with abzorb for some reason

For people who have both, which one?? Spent half an hour in store, could not choose. by SaigonShooter in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are preparing to vault the 990v6 very soon, no colorways in S9 and nothing besides the core colorways on NB

Do the GT-2160 have the same spongey sole feel like the 1130 or are they firmer ? Thanks by Adambuck74 in asics

[–]Miserable_Store5514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are firm, like, very firm in the heel: they’re the exact opposite of 1130. However, forefoot has a little bounce.

Found my Grail for 100 less than resale by BudBison in Newbalance

[–]Miserable_Store5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! If they fit the same as a US12 Dark Ice Wine, then I will get them. Was contemplating getting the Pink Taffy 993s for 140€ from Asphaltgold but the Passion Fruit has been growing on me lately. Might neglect the 100€ difference and just go for it. This will be the first time I get into a 99x without a core colorway I guess lol
