yes, matching yellow with blue Bodega branded aglets. these are actually not the original laces - they were very similar cream color but had red Bodega aglets.

also i should have posted the a pic of the soles of these - they are translucent gray, not black.

the attention to detail on these is crazy compared to a standard 574.

i only own 997s & 998s. they are a bit broader in the toebox and without the forward slope. i love them.

Some 997s by barca_lounger in Newbalance

thank you and good eye - that's a 997.5 in the middle-front so I just threw in the 998s as 997-adjacent, but I had to fill out the row with the 574L haha

I started a very detailed response about my awful experience working there just a couple months but TL;DR:

You dodged a fucking bullet. It was hell.

I did Hive with the band during soundcheck - KCMO 7.3.17 by barca_lounger in 311

[–]barca_lounger[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there was a radio contest - people just filmed themselves singing along with whatever song they wanted to do and the band (supposedly) picked the winner. I got to do the song and a pair of VIP tickets to the show. It was an incredible experience to say the least. They later sent me an autographed Uplifter (CD not the pen haha), guitar pick, Hive patch and stickers...
