There's A LOT more to New Balance than the hyped up consortium releases... Always been a fan, and always will be...

New Balance has some of the best designs, colorways, and materials of any company out there. They kill Nike in terms of quality, and for the most part, comfort too. It's next to impossible to get some good pairs in the US though. They don't even hit eBay very hard, and when they do, they're the Colette's and people are charging $600 for them. I've been lagging on the new pickups, but come thursday I'll be picking up the Foot Patrol and Sportie LA NB's. Two of my favorite releases this year overall. Hopefully NB will take notice after the success of the ST33 and start giving the US folk a little more to look forward to.

Some say 300 per style, others 200. Solebox will surely have them. I dont know about other retailers.

I don't own any NBs yet, but definitely looking forward to copping my first pair. The suede used on them is butter and the quality is atleast 10 times better than the crap Nike puts out. I wish there was a bigger selection of NBs in the states especially those Made in England pairs. Its also unfortunate that some of the pairs I do like are going for a fortune on eBay. Guess I'll keep waiting patiently for my first pair.

I'm still looking for those olive stussy x madhectic 580's. I remember I was in Japan and found them for a 150 on the bottom self. One of the biggest regrets of my life not coping those.

yeah pretty mad that NB gets alot of neglect in the US.... Europe & Japan are such lucky bastards... lol
but i can't wait until those toothpaste's release... but their will only be like 200 (i'm guessing b/c of that lil rivet)... so that's gonna suck alot... there's gonna be too much fucking resellers just like the NB colettes which although look nice i don't think are worth the $390 ppl are charging...
*sigh*
those MT580 stussys look awesome as well

I think the problem with NB in the States is they just don't sell that well. Sure the 39.99 for two at Foot Locker will sell, but most people don't give the brand a chance. They aren't hyped up, even with all the awesome collabo's they have, and for the most part they are ignored. It really is a shame, especially for me 'cause I hate paying expensive prices when they're sitting on shelves overseas.
Oh, and if anyone overseas gets a hand on an extra pair of the Mint toothpastes, I will handsomely reward them.

highly doubt that'd happen...
anyways some more info on the Toothpastes is an october release... & if it's slated @ a limiit 200 i think we'll all have to pay expensive prices... also anything with a solebox collabo is fire... so "yikes"

^ I can hope, can't I? I'm not very rational when it comes to grails. I'm still waiting for the purple Colette's to come back in to my life for less than $800
