      @jerkules that’s a steal…plus they’re cool. Adam’s right though, they may end up purple when the crocking is said and done

        @AdamJ @SKT i personally love indigo crocking! Weirdly enough my cream 990v6 pair have practically zero crocking, and have stayed looking pretty clean somehow. I suspect it’ll be harder to keep the shaggy suede quite as clean , but for 75% off I don’t mind too much

          @jerkules yeah I hear you. I am full of shit because I often tell people who worry about crocking on their tops "embrace the wabi sabi" meanwhile I fret over my trainers 😂

            @jerkules oh yeah I’m the same. Can’t be in the indigo game unless you love some crocking.

              I don’t love it but I accept it and don’t get stressed over it. I’m really considering a pair of these except I really don’t want to pay $400…

                        @SKT I do too but the red sole on the RW version is pretty badass.

                          IH x NB collab in the 997 or 2002 sounds like a plan

                              A NBXIH would be an immediate buy for me regardless of cost. Actually it would need to come in duck, denim, wabash and hickory stripe

                                @Matt just looked up old emails and remembered I paid 250usd for it back in 2019.. and googled it now and the prices currently are insane!!

                                    @Matt yeah I prefer the RW pair, but not twice as much. The 992s are very cool.

                                      @Matt - while I'm a big fan of the brown/duck color, I too would not pay $400 for those. NBs do seem to be fairly well made, but you'll never get a solid price per wear out of those at that price.

                                      My sense is that pair will come down in price as soon as primary stock is limited.

                                      The sneaker market as a whole has come down significantly in recent months. Maybe not for all pairs, as it is a hype market, but as an example - my purple/black Dunks that I paid close to $300 some 12-18 mos ago, are now going for under retail (sub $100). That said, if the hype isn't serious, you should be able to get into a pair of those $400 NBs at half that. Of course that is assuming you can fight the internal FOMO while you wait for the hype to subside...it's all a head game after all.

                                        @Matt just as you mentioned it, I took mine out to wear them again after a couple months but this almost ended in disaster as I got home 😭
