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.

[jerkules]

@SKT guess that’s the down side to a saturated market! Hope you find a buyer soon

[jerkules]

Me likey! Love the purple and orange. Quality is fantastic, will defo grab some other MIUS when I have the dosh. Also check out that lefty leg twist

[Matt]

Love those.

[jerkules]

I’m a very happy boy

[october rust]

Super nice @jerkules

The quality on the Made in US pairs, and the fact you can usually wait and get them on sale, makes it tough for me to buy Nikes or really any other sneaker anymore

[jerkules]

So true @october-rust , I’m going to keep my eyes open for some others on sale in autumn.

May I join this thread?
Was too lazy to look through 30 pages - did we have this pair before?
