@Matt it was the purple N wasn't it

Dig these ones

[Matt]

I like the rain cloud color.

@Matt yeah! Do you have experience with the 580 model? Sizing wise etc

[jerkules]

@Heavy_blue I have a pair of 580s from years ago. Weirdly I have no memory of buying them, receiving them, wearing them for the first time. They are VERY comfortable, and feel about a half size bigger than my recent 574 purchase. But to me they feel true to size, while the 574s feel a tad snug.

[jerkules]

Found them.

I have given these zero consideration when wearing - rain, mud, forest walks. They’ve been through the washing machine quite a few times. I likely got them for very cheap. I didn’t even know they were the 580 model until you’re post above @Heavy_blue .

The 57/40's are inching pretty close to maison mihara yaushiro's designs

@jerkules thanks man! Your look nice! I think the rainclous cw will go good with any type of denim

[Matt]

@Heavy_blue

I don’t but since getting my first pair of NBs over 20 years ago I’ve always worn a 10 with no problems. Lots of different styles since then.

[Matt]

@jerkules looks like you found a buried artifact.

[Matt]

These are really cool…

[SKT]

@Matt I really like em. Going to put a bid in on a pair on StockX

[SKT]

Hmm found another color I like too…grey day

[Matt]

Those look good. I actually saw those the other day when I did a random Grey Day search. Ive got the 990v4 on their way to me.

I’m seriously loving them.

[A Former User]

Bought these

[SKT]

@Heavy_blue Nice! 57/40’s are in my future.

[Matt]

Excellent! You guys won’t be disappointed.

[SKT]

I’m leaning towards the grey because I have the cream color covered with my 990v1. Still haven’t pulled the trigger.
