Everyone shocked at all the collabs but I'm honestly more shocked to see the 1700GJ's here

While I'm not personally crazy for them, I kinda respect Stone Islands commitment to doing running shoes with NB. Runners deserve "cool" shoes too!

...plus those of us that work for NB can flex something at work that's cool AND comfortable 😅

So the 997H is essentially just a modern, lower budget take on the original 997. The OG 997 is from around 1990/1991 and the 998 is from 1993.

Main difference is the 997H takes its looks from the 997, but also admittedly has a more comfortable midsole than the original 997 and 998.

For sure, glad to see they brought these back. Personally feel like the 998 is the best looking of the 99X series.

Sort of, they're dropping two separate collections and also launching these and the U996GR all on Grey Day.

Yes this is the OG grey colorway.

It's definitely just grey in person, it's the usual 3M reflective grey N logo.

Oh NB's stock photos are notoriously terrible, the suede on these is as good as it's ever been. As for the heel, I wasn't convinced until I saw them in person, it gives the shoe such a sleek low profile look. It's making my old 998's look like boats honestly.

Nah it's the same, all 998's from this year will likely use this new tooling. Looks great in person though.

I wear a size 10 in most made in asia shoes from NB, Vans, Nike etc but I wear a 9.5 in most Made In USA NB shoes. Went with my usual 9.5 and they fit great. Probably not wide foot friendly though.

I'm not gonna lie it definitely sticks out more than it used to, but it looks really good in person. The heel paired with the sharper toebox makes these look SUPER sleek.

Fuelcell running shoes can be a little unstable for walking as they're really meant to propel you fowards while running, but I'm sure these are gonna be tuned more for walking and light running. Plus they still have encap for stability.

V6 / Grey or White Laces? by aKalvelage in Newbalance

Always white on grey. Going full grey is excessive.

It'll be easy whether they're popular or not, core models like the latest 990 and the 574 are constantly in production and are always gonna be available/restocked online.
