New Balance

@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.

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.

@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.

Dropping 4/4

@MTpockets with you man…990’s are hard to beat for comfort and they look good with everything

[MTpockets]

@SKT yea buddy - it's a slippery slope. Not as slippery as IH but I sure like me a fresh pair of 990v6's.

I have joined the NB crew with my first pair, the 997H's. Maybe something a bit more lairy for my next pair!

@Bailey - welcome Bailey!

New running shoes. 860v14…

[SKT]

@Bailey so nice and clean. Love em!

[SKT]

@Matt I’ve got some of those too and they are some of the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever had (even though I just walk in mine) cool color!

[Matt]

I got a great deal on these on Amazon actually. They’re the v14. I need the support for my over pronation.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt the shoes match the carpet. What about the drapes?

[m4xime]

Is there a difference in fit/comfort between the 990s and the 2002Rs?

[Bailey]

@SKT for how long..
