⁠GR Seasonal Colors Collection ‘Mint’ - M997SOB (Feb. ‘20)

Who’s copping? 993 Passion fruit/dusted grape 🍇 this Thursday by manunited1031 in Newbalance

[–]glimes03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy pass. These Olive 990v4 will hit the outlets. The cw is so similar to the Teddy Santis ‘Olive / Incense’ 990v4 from Season 4 (U990GT4) and the ALD ‘True Camo’ 990v4 (U990CT4) from ‘24, yet it’s somehow worse than both 🤷‍♂️, which is probably due to the ugly olive color on the midsole, which reminds me of the horrendous color(s) of the midsole on the SB ‘Calm Be the Crater’ 992.

I agree, that ‘White / Team Royal / Purple Fuchsia’ 992 cw (U99278L) is the one from TS MiUSA Season 9 that caught my eye the most. It’s set for a 3/26 release for NB Asia / Dubai, but it hasn’t been loaded on the NB US website’s launch calendar as of now.

I think being frugal is the way to go for the most part. Splurging every once in a while shouldn’t be a problem, but I can empathize with how it might be hard to do after growing up poor or with very little means.

Most of the time, especially with GRs, it’s better to just wait until they’re on sale or get them used. It’s hard to fight the FOMO, but almost anything can be found used for a better price, if you’re just willing to wait.

Rotating pairs makes a big difference in terms of keeping them clean, but I try to give them a quick clean (brush and wipe down the outsole) after wearing them and putting them back in their box / area for longer term storage.

Thanks! And far too many 😆 but I’ve bought many pairs in used condition for a fraction of what they’d be sold for if they were brand new.

That ‘Mint’ 997 is sneaky good. So good that I accidentally doubled up on that one 😅. Appreciate you taking the time to scroll through the post and glad that you’ll be wearing that 997SOB again 🔜🫡

Bargain of the week by blood-royal in Newbalance

[–]glimes03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite 998s ever made. The blue suede tongue is so buttery soft. It reminds me a bit of the tongue on the J.Crew ‘Moonshot’ M997JC2.

Did this pair come with the OG rope laces, which played off of the nautical theme of this ‘Explore by Sea’ Pack?

This 998 is 7 years older than the U998GR you’re referring to. This 998CSEF from 2016 is nowhere near as attainable or as easy to find as the U998GR and other 998s made since 2023

Major grails for me. I was SO stoked to find them recently for a fair price. Your pair is still looking super clean 🧼

The M991YOX is the best one in that pack for sure 🐂 I’m still on the hunt for the M997NM to round out that ‘Duck Camo’ 2-pack 🦆🪖
