@Matt The whistle takes some getting used to when driving. Other than that, I don't notice it. I wear my sneakers loose enough to pull them off without untying them, which means I can demo the whistle any time someone points out the "weird thing on the heel."

I was at a NB Outlet over the weekend and it was a total bust. Being a 10 makes it hard to find deals.

[Matt]

Size 10 that is. Looks wise I'd say i'm a solid 7.

@Matt

I'm a 10 as well. I feel you.

Crazy story, on the J Crew NYCs. I stopped into J Crew for t-shirts at least a year after these dropped. This pair was just randomly sitting on a shelf. The manager said someone received them as a gift, didn't want them, and just returned them totally unworn! They were 2x retail on StockX at the time. I guess the guy just had no idea, nor did any of the sales associates, so I scooped them up for retail.

[Matt]

Thats amazing. Well bought.

[Matt]

the J Crew Grizzlies are great too. Those are high dollar as well. Since we're size buddies feel free to let me know if you need to shift anything

@Go-For-Chill absolutely no “problems” on the IH forum…just really really focused “interests”.

Great collection too

[Matt]

It's only a problem if you run out of storage space... in which case I'm happy to help.

@Go-For-Chill I was talking myself out of buying the "High Desert" 2002R's as "3 pairs is too many", your photo has given me the green light

Just dropped

Peachy

[MTpockets]

LOL they call it Sunrise (with purple). But I don't see much purple on that.

[Matt]

@AdamJ I’ve got a $90 pair in my eBay cart right now. Hemming and hawing.

@Matt Serious question for you sneaker heads: The pairs that you pick up are second hand new, slightly new/used, overstock, etc.? How does pricing normally work? Based upon demand and condition?

A lot like the denim community or completely different?

As you can tell, I know absolutely nothing about this…(and most other things in life).

Just picked up a pair of 9060’s and liked them so much bought a different colourway. A lot of the none UK/USA made are cheap looking and feeling but these are quality and super comfy.

[Matt]

I do new or like new and I just look for the best price. It’s all hype with sneakers. A totally hype based market.

[AdamJ]

@Matt I "bid" on StockX but it expired as I wasn't willing to meet asking. I'll give it another shot in a few weeks

[Matt]

@AdamJ just pulled the trigger. Got em for $85.

Picked up some black 990v6. Really wanted some of the recently released 992 Blk/Grey but missed out. The 990’s are really comfortable though so I’m happy

@SKT - this is my favorite NB - I have that black pair and I think 4 others (Carhartt, Baklava, and a couple other colorways). Pretty much the only running shoes I own - although I don't run in them (I have a pair of Brooks for that). Just an incredibly comfortable and casual sneaker for me.

There was a time when I wouldn't wear "running sneakers" with jeans - and I only work AJ1, Dunks, and Chucks. But now I don't care about the "rules" and I pair up the 990v6 with all of my denim.
