New Balance

[jerkules]

Stoked to grab a new in box 2nd hand pair of 990 v2 today. Wouldn’t have gone for this colour as it’s close to my newest pair of 574s, but I’ve been wanting to try some Made in USA NBs for a while and the deal was too good to avoid. Plus blue/navy goes with e’rything

[SKT]

@jerkules really like those. Interested in your thoughts once you get em on

[jerkules]

Ah shite the seller cancelled the order and refunded. So now I’m trawling around trying to find a cheap pair elsewhere

[jerkules]

Found these for cheap as well. Really like em, but not enough to buy immediately… hmm

[SKT]

That sucks

[SKT]

These are on my radar. Made in UK 576

[jerkules]

I like em @SKT

[jerkules]

Anyone own the 993s? Found a great deal, and they’re pretty classic.

[Matt]

Classics. Go for it.

[jerkules]

Someone bought em right from under my nose @Matt - must’ve noticed the great price while I was deliberating.

I think I’ve whittled it down to the following two options:

Or

What’s the feelings of the guys here, A or B? I cannot make up my mind. It absolutely can only be one pair.

Man I did NOT need to look on the NB site and see those upcoming pink 996.

[SKT]

@jerkules A for me

[Matt]

I had this problem recently. You know what I’d do.

[popvulture]

You saucy minx

[Matt]

Yeah I know. Buuuuut… if it were me I’d go for the 2nd pair. I like the v6 (I think that’s what they are) profile and the lighter color a little better. Both will look great with jeans or shorts so you can’t go wrong either way. Flip a coin.

[J-IV]

I'd go for 2nd personally.. but the Matt approach to NB buying is recommended.

[Matt]

Go big or go home.

[jerkules]

If I go big I won’t be able to go home.

[jerkules]

Flipped a coin, came out tails so I’m getting option B. I don’t know if they were doing too many drops, but I’m glad that a lot of the Teddy Santis New Balance stuff isn’t flying off the shelves anymore. Gives em a chance to make it to the on sale section. I paid just over £100 on them, when they’re £210 new.

[SKT]

@jerkules Couldn’t go wrong either way but good choice coin.

I’ve got a pair of the Teddy Santis 990v1 that I’ve been trying to sell (worn a couple times) and their value has gone to hell.
