Mr. Willson:
You're right about that. I can't stand NB. They're straight whack!

Ain't that the truth!

My gym is different than other gyms. And I am different because of my gym.
Much Respect

I agree. We (well I) all moaned about the Providers when they came out but the newer 1500's are far, far worse in terms of shape and quality. And that bloody plastic toe cap that blights the UK made NB's these days is just the icing on the turd...

Can someone please comment on how the 999's and 1300's run? I'm a 9.5 in most Nike's, but the 2 NB's I have (577 and MT580) I purchased in 9.5 and they ran big. Should I go with a size 9 for the 999 and 1300? Thanks!
I think US made 1300s are a tad smaller than the MT580s, in my experience.
So I guess you should stick with a 9.5, at least for the 1300. I don't own any 999s.

I feel like everyone is going to have a different response to how a shoe fits. From my experience the US made 1300 fits big. I've always worn 9.5s, which typically fit a bit snug (no matter the brand) and the 1300s were the first shoe I was nearly walking out of.
I had the same issue with the 998DB, which felt loose, but then I got a pair of the 998GR and those fit very snug. I just think the hand made quality of these shoes means a slightly inconsistent fit. Just my opinion though...
Thank guys! Can anyone comment on the sizing of the 999's?

^^^ I second that. I'm still hunting for those Seal 999s, just not sure what size to be hunting for.
I'm currently hunting for a 9, since both of my other 9.5's are a little big, but will adjust the hunt based on someone's feedback if necessary.

[quote="thekruk"][quote="that1flynigga"]new balances are dope i dont care that a lot of people have them almost every color way is fire to me[/quote]
I think you meant to say nikes. I never see people wearing classic NB's, even the collabs that people hype up.

You're right about that. I can't stand NB. They're straight whack! :lol::up:

Keen observation , never wntd providers but do like my nazars. I guess its the case with most shoes but my pair has really flattened with wear. I think the nazars don't have the same thermoplastic in the toe that those lamjc do tho
that thermoplastic shit is the absolute worst. i can't stand it. but yeah, nazar and provider are defs better quality then the current stuff. i think even the solebox finals were better than whats coming out now
