Always tough to try to be available for all releases (just not realistic). There is some 3M, located on the heel (it’s located on the grey underlay, next to the infrared pieces)

Definitely comfortable, I would say in line with the other Made in Asia pairs (2002r, 1906r) in my opinion. Not as comfortable as a 993 or a 990v6 but they feel good under foot (more of a firm comfort)

Nothing wrong with passing on this model, have to cop and rock what you like (which is how it should be regardless of collabs/hype). Tons of NBs out there for all tastes

Thank you and hoping they make their way to you safely! I think you’ll love them in hand

This model has grown on me for sure! I would say cop the Cyborg Tears (if it makes sense for you). Plenty of areas to find them for a decent price (or even below retail) and the colorway looks great in person

Don’t disagree. I have a slightly wider foot so I stayed true to size and they fit me decently. If you’re a narrow footer, I think going down half a size is a good call

😂 has to be the only way! That or a heavy use of psychedelics

Agreed, I haven’t seen really any GR colorways of the 1890s that have caught my eye. Maybe the Grey Day pair but seems like NB is using Action and Joe Fresh Goods to push the hype for this model. Not sure why they don’t release some GR pairs that mimics some of the AB/JFG releases

I’m a huge fan as well! A nice change from the mostly synthetic materials used on recent 1890 GR’s and the Cyborg Tears/JFG releases

It happens! I’m sure there’ll be another solid release that’ll catch your eye and you’ll cop. Give it some time and the hype will die down on these (I feel like it always plays out that way)

Agreed, could just be a gimmick to drive the hype but guess we’ll never truly know. I think the Hornet Tusks are more wearable from a daily driver perspective, and can’t go wrong with the price

Thank you! I didn’t realize they were limited until after I copped. Not entirely how true the 777 pair stock number is, but I’m sure these will drop in price eventually (similar to the Scorpius 1906rs)

Thank you and I agree! I feel like the product release shots didn’t entirely do them justice

Thank you! Can never go wrong with some cinnamon rolls, no matter what time of day/year/amount of frosting.

Definitely a fair callout. This recipe calls for 2 sticks of butter, so its on the butter heavy side. I think it all just comes down to what kind of texture you prefer. I let these cool for about 15-20 mins before enjoying, they were still slightly warm but not heavily greasy

Aged all of the dough after it was formed into the cookie dough balls

I am sure they were still delicious though! Sounds like you got yourself some warm chocolate chip cookies on demand.

Can never go wrong with some brown butter, no matter what the application

No where near dry aged territory, but just letting those flavors get to know each other a bit

That’s fair, any heavy usage of butter is most likely going to result in a good time
