        i tend to go 0.5 up from my standard size.like i wear a us9.5 in vans,so i go for a us10 or even 10.5 in NB. US10.5 would be roomier though.

                        Those are one of the best ever. Perfect colorway.

                            Those are the New Balance x Nonnative 997's from 2012. They're actually a hybrid between 997 and 998, which makes sense considering those are quite possibly the best of the 99x series. Still, I remember hesitating to cop them when they were released, due to their high price.

                            Which was obviously a mistake, as they were sold out soon after and have afterwards become one of the more legendary NB collabs.

                              New Balance is now offering Cone Mills denim in their custom-built 574s (like was used in the 1300CD) recently featured on Rawr Denim, here:
                              http://www.rawrdenim.com/2014/06/new-balance-x-cone-mills-1300cd-denim-sneakers/

                              I thought those ones were way too expensive, and didn't care for the white soles. But, you can custom design your own using either raw or washed Cone denim. I emailed them to make sure that the denim was the same, and it is.

                              I got a pair ordered today, and they were $150 (on sale, normally $170) with free shipping. They make a Horween sneaker, and I wish they offered this option for leather, too. But they don't.

                              I will post pics when I get them. It should be next week, because of the holiday.

                                I think the black suede, raw denim combination turned out pretty swell. I agree with the notion that most NBs are 'ugly as sin'. (See the unpopular opinions thread) But, I think these are pretty sweet looking and the fit is perfect.  These also have custom orthodics in them to help my knees and back out a little. I'm definitely happy with them. I just wish the raw denim was ultra -heavy Iron Heart… But the color is actually pretty close to raw IH-25s. 🙂

                                  Most New Balance shoes are OK, it's just those denim ones that are as ugly as sin as far as I'm concerned.

                                      I definitely agree. Some of the varieties are over $300 a pair. This is way too much imho.

                                      @Anesthetist  I took a shot with 3 different pairs of IH denim in various stages of evolution. The color is virtually identical to a raw pair of IH 25 oz denim and similar to the deepest tones of 18 oz. IH denim.

                                      Texturally, it is much different to a pair of IH, since the Cone Mills denim is probably only a 8 oz. denim, compared to 25 oz. Much similar to a chambray material thickness.

                                      On The far right is a heavily worn and washed IH 25 oz. pair that the color does not match at all. I assume the Cone denim will evolve since it is indigo dyed denim.

                                        I forgot to add, that they do have a 'washed' light blue denim as well of you have faded jeans you want to match.

                                          Cool, i think they would contrast nicely with some worn in pairs or ducks as well. Be sure to update us on the progress and thanks for the pics and review.
