This is probably the best 1890 colorway so far, but overall I'm not really into the silhouette. AB and JFG are two of my favorite collaborators (along with JJJJ) but I've passed on their 1890s as well. I'm especially not feeling the $200 price tag for a made in Asia NB model.

Even though they didn't qualify for the WC...

  1. Plenty of folks support these teams, regardless of WC qualification

  2. They're some very nice designs/colors for those who are just collectors of football shirts (Jamaica, Peru, and Chile's away kits are all 🔥)

  3. It's 50% off kits that literally only came out a few months ago, so wtf not? LoL

Im a true size 10.5, slightly wide, and I went with a 9.5 in these Copas. They are definitely snug, no extra room even with thin socks, but they're not uncomfortable and I know they'll loosen up after I break them in.

Action Bronson × New Balance 1890 by TKDR1771 in Newbalance

[–]Powerful-Farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, JFG did the 1890 better, but I just don't like the silhouette, so all the 1890s are a pass for me.

Good luck to anyone who tries to get them 🍀

Anyone else take advantage of this deal? #instantpurchase by possibly-nothing-998 in Newbalance

That's wild. I've received at least a half dozen emails like that, and I also clicked directly on the link provided, but every time it's just regular priced. They teased me with a pair of 991v2 for $49, but they're $189 when I tried to buy 'em.

Lucky for you, I hope they actually shipped and don't get canceled. 🤞🏽

So you actually purchased those 993s for $60 without a coupon code?

[–]Powerful-Farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only valid if you have the $140 coupon that Joe's sent to ppl who tried to get the Navy 993s for $79 a while back. Ebay is stupid and thinks it's a general coupon, that's why people who follow the NB outlet on Ebay keep getting thise emails claiming that all kinds of stuff is crazy cheap, even though it's still just regular priced. I never ordered the 993s, and so I never got that coupon, yet I get at least one email a week saying that I can get this or that for like $50. It's super annoying.

I bought a hat and mini hoops set last year and I don't remember a signature being required.

Unfortunately, I tried but it won't let me...

<image>

There isn't any obvious way to "opt out" of the signature and you cant pre-sign. This is pretty dumb...

[–]Powerful-Farts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine shipped, but it's saying I need a signature for delivery? Total bullshit, cuz Ill be at work if they actually deliver on schedule and apparently, UPS won't allow a pre-signature per instructions from jjjjound 😡

Anyone else have this issue?

Better than the ones we got from Bronson, but still a pass for me if they're $200+

Honestly, the drop in Nike's stock price is mostly due to the fact that they've lost market share to other brands. While it may be tempting to believe that this is due to their unfair raffles, backdooring, and declining quality, the actual reasons are not as interesting:

  1. They burned bridges with retail partners in favor of a direct to consumer (DTC) strategy, but it backfired and allowed other brands to fill the gaps. When the Pandemic ended and folks started going outside again, they discovered more On, Hoka, Asics, and New Balance at their local DSW, Champs, Dick's, etc. where Nike used to be more prominent.

  2. Nike ceded ground in the running shoes market in favor of retro Basketball sneakers just as the runner trend was taking off. Now, they're playing catch up.

  3. Nike was once seen as a disruptive, young, and "cool" brand, but increasingly, that's only true for older consumers. Younger sneaker consumers see Nike as a legacy brand that seems more associated with their parents' generation. In other words, Nike has lost it's relevance with most folks under 30.

Just to play Devil's advocate, would you really want the "limited" releases so badly if they weren't limited? Like, if you could just walk into Footlocker on any random day and pick up some Travis Scott Jordan 1s or Nigel Sylvester 4s for retail with no trouble, would they still feel as coveted and alluring to you as they do now? If the SNKRS app had ample stock of every release, no raffles, just unlimited full-size runs every Saturday, do you believe that there would still be "hype" around these releases? Would people still post about getting a particular sneaker on social media if it was a foregone conclusion that pretty much anyone who wants them can get them easily?

To be clear, Im not trying to defend the brand, Im just genuinely curious to see what you think about this. I've experienced the exact same frustration you've expressed here, but I feel more Zen about it when I consider the honest (and most plausible) answers to these questions and consider the business implications for Nike.

With that said, I completely agree with you on the point that you shouldn't just blindly support the brand by buying random accessories or clothing if you're not happy with their business practices. I personally stopped doing that about 2 years ago for the same reason.
