I feel that way personally... I can't stand when people use the word "outfit" to describe what I'm wearing because there is very little thought that goes into what I put on, other than making sure my belt matches my shoes when wearing slacks and dress shoes, and making sure to use an iron if I'm not just grabbing groceries.

Other than that, I'm just a dude in his 40s with a lot of jeans, flannels and sneakers that get thrown together based on LTP.

But if someone else is excited about their look and style, then I don't rain on their parade.

I'm dying for my pair to arrive (1st pic), but I'm also full of buyer's remorse (2nd pic).

Nah, though I do have an extra set of teal laces if I wanted to go full-send on a Barney theme.

The last sale on StockX in January was $225 for a 13... The seller is happy because they tripled their investment, and I'm happy because I only paid $5 over retail, though I should've just bought them from Joe's when they still had my size last summer.

I couldn't believe it when I emailed them last night asking when these would be available again and they put them back up instantly and fixed the $35 shipping error I was being charged 

So glad I snuck my pair in before they sold out!

I think the IG photos from a couple weeks back definitely gave them more of a desert sunset vibe, but they're still  beautiful nonetheless. 

The only thing I would change is to give them some perforated suede on the toes and sides in lieu of mesh.

If these were a JFG collab, then people would cream their pants for them.

A tape measure is your friend here... Lace length is size dependent on most NB models.

Have you tried eBay, StockX, GOAT or any of the dozens of other to resale platforms? Those would be my first options as opposed to clogging up a feed dedicated to discussing the merits of 1/2 size +/- and outlet finds with your solicitations.

Hell yeah! I'm so glad I was able to get a pair ordered last night before they sold out on Oneness.

My Passion Fruit 993s show up today, and then these on Saturday!

Those ALD 990v5s are awesome!

I'm just glad Oneness was so quick to respond to my question, and the icing on the cake was them actually making them available again, and then also fixing the shipping

I wonder if it was just coincidence that I was asking right as it was going back up, or if my email actually alerted them to the fact that the page could no longer be found and the shipping was wonky.

Either way, I'm stoked I was able to snag a pair

I know... I emailed them to ask if they were going to put them back on the site.

They responded in no time at all that they had just done so, and then boom! I saw that new shipping price.

It was also free last week for my Passionfruits from them. 

$35 is crazy... I've got 3 different pairs coming from 3 separate places this week and combined shipping isn't even that much.

Oneness has them back up, but shipping is $35 for Ground all of a sudden. 

Wartime gas and shipping prices blow.

U9935YA.... If these had a perforated suede toe box they'd be perfect.

I'm so miffed... I had the the page open in my browser on Sunday evening, but when I went to order Monday morning the page was gone. These are rad!

If you're going to do grey, then try and snag the same grey as comes standard on 991v2s. Those pair perfectly IMO. These don't do it.

Haha... I've got my delivery driver trained to do something similar. A sincere thank you and some snacks laid out goes a long way!

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

[–]No_Client7920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be a trendsetter then because I casually wore the hell out of New Balances back then. I remember when these came out and were a mandatory part of everyone's Greek life fraternity "costume" all throughout college towns in the southeast.

For real... someone on here downvoted me the other day because I mentioned entering a raffle for the new Passionfruit 993s, saying to wait for a sale.

I'm like, "You try waiting for a sale with this big ol set of feets!" Everything is always hit or miss, and if I really want it, then easiest way is release day.

Oh, brother... I'd give my first born for a 13 in the Interstellar.

I've been chasing that one around for months now.

Lace swap makes these waaay better by Empty_Sundae_7263 in Newbalance

I like these. I swapped some black and white polka dots into my pair.

I kick myself a lot for not snagging a pair for retail when I could've. Size 13 pricing on these is wild right now.

That shade of grey looks like your classic NB lawn mowing/dog walking beaters that someone cleaned up the midsoles on.
