Been watching the prices on these since release. Grey has been cheaper before but I think black is a little more exclusive and easier to match up with outfit. Sales at new balance direct almost always exclude the made in USA series (which this one is).
Price auto applies on adding to cart. Remember to use discounted gc for further saving.
$20 off for the referee ($99 minimum spend), and $20 credit for the referrer.
Add an extra $10 item and can get $50 off also using HEYICONIC50 :) Needs to be a new account.
Best shoes I have never owned & never will unless they calm the hell down to $40.
hi sir this is a recession
But Comfort (and drip) is king
New balance is not drip
It sure is
@rosebank can you confirm
@Jimothy Wongingtons: I prefer these:

Add a pair of $5 Stance socks for free shipping
Or your favourite, which are maximum dad-core:

But I have these in green and they're cooler than NB imo:

As for drip, depends on the person. I have shoes that people think look ugly, who cares?
@Jimothy Wongingtons: I wear the 1906 castlerock protection pack, bought them in Seoul. Never looked back.
@Jimothy Wongingtons: Copped the rusty NBs using my LIMITED points before my size sells out. I think Hype will have an extra $20 off sale soon.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i would like to know what you consider as drip
@Jimothy Wongingtons: In terms of the new(ish) dad-core trend, I think the ones you posted aren't great, especially for the price. Idc where they're made. I've been buying more Asics and Saucony, even Reebok because the Classics are… Classic. They did a Street Fighter Classics Collab, I got the Chun Li ones and the red/blue. And they brought back Shaqs, Answers and pumps, which are different category, but are more appealing to me. I paid full price the superman and smiley Shaqs, and I never pay full price. there's another cool Shaq collab I saw when I was buying Js at footlocker, can't remember what it was but I'll pay $300 for them
what am i missing with the new balance, why are they so popular/expensive?
I didn’t believe the hype until I got my fresh foam 1080 v 12’s, just damn comfortable.
i thought the hype is on since steve job worn it
i have unironically been after a nice black turtleneck sweater but so hard to find a nice on in Aus
A lot of sneakerheads, like me, are sick of Nike’s bullshit, the bots, bad QC with shoes covered in glue stains and NB offers a well-made alternative. Plus, NB have been working with some incredible collaborators who are doing some great stuff.
And with Adidas out of the game now (unless you count one shoe with Bad Bunny), someone has to get the hype.
thanks for the take, but what about the yeezys ? are NMD and ozweego too mainstream? lol
After Kanye went on a series of anti-Semitic rants and talked about how he liked Hitler, the Yeezy brand got axed very quickly.
I would personally say nmd and the oz aren’t as classic as new balances, it could be mainstream or not, but would it still be worn in 10years?
Pity the colour, this Black one doesn't pair well with clothes IMO
ive seen the greys around 240 a few times at some resellers like uptherestore
ive not seen any of the cooler collabs easily available or at a reasonable price in australia other than resellers like stockx.
narrow narrow toe box from NB I believe…. from 6E shoes too!
Comes with dad jokes booklet too?
i think you're thinking of 624's (or maybe 530's ), or maybe nike monarchs if you're into nike.
since joining ozb, my shoe budget is $50
i mean waiting for $200 shoes got discounted to $50….
shame the grey's are not on sale too
Comes and goes, uptherestore had them at 240 a few weeks ago. Part of me just wants the black C/W as its slightly more exclusive
ugh no half size and wide width
yeah you'll need to hit up new balance direct ( at least for the half sizes, i didnt see wide width for them)
the US site has several different width
Any deals on Assassins?
if it doesnt have the vanity licence plate on the back i dont want 'em
So they are normally $480?
Waiting for Australia to get the wide sizes, keen to try the Fuelcell
Not purchasing but just tried the code HEYICONIC20 at checkout and it gave a further $20 discount.
