[@andyquibell4038]

Mate the music bg is annoying whilst u speak. Its distracting. I dont know maybe its bc Im using Airpods.

[@steez2970]

already have the phantoms from the 1st pack.. can’t decide if i want these or the navy ones 😭

[@TheSneakerCircle]

I was in the same boat and had to pull the trigger on these

[@Pro-habits]

Orange 🔥

[@jawnwane4959]

Wished the suede was more fuzzy like the OG pair to match the rugged design

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Yeah they changed it completely

[@pakcheng1]

fuzzy doesnt mean better quality... to be honest i like this sude than the og

[@dougcunneen1040]

the grey leather is just a synthetic leather. The grey green "suede" part, is ACTUALLY Nubuck....

[@davenapier1786]

Do they fit true to size ?

[@TheSneakerCircle]

yes

[@gamecast92]

what's the sizing like on these? I wear size 10, do I need to up half a size. I have the 2002r black fig in size 10 and it feels kinda snug. Was wondering if these would be the same I'm getting mixed feedbacks because some people are saying with 2002r to go half a size down

[@TheSneakerCircle]

They’ll fit exactly like the pair you have. I personally don’t like a snug fit so I went .5 up from my normal NB size.

[@gamecast92]

@@TheSneakerCircle gotcha, will they look too bulky? these shoes are already bulky. if I went up half a size will it look funny?

[@obby2479]

@@gamecast92 you will be fine 😊

[@jpunieves]

i am size 9.5 in 574 sport... should i do the same in 2002r? how about 990 v5?

[@TheSneakerCircle]

I haven’t worn a pair of v5 but 574 should be similar to 574, I haven’t owned a pair in a while tho.

[@RTCalibre]

Awesome reviews keep the NBs coming

[@TheSneakerCircle]

thank you!

[@nico_cgr]

I don’t know which pair I will take between these and the 990v3 Teddy santis amethyst 😅

[@TheSneakerCircle]

there might be a little easier on your pockets since they're restocking almost everywhere these days.

[@zoiloedjan9912]

Bruh just bought mine for 119 at stockx

[@TheSneakerCircle]

these are still sitting in footlockers near me ಥ‿ಥ

[@knuckleblood]

I want that pink pair bad, but might settle for these.

[@TheSneakerCircle]

i feel you, the navy pair is also crazy nice

[@Pro-habits]

All white & pink hints🔥

[@glp626]

which is your favourite colorway from the protection pack?

[@kajongtampan6486]

what s size?

[@TheSneakerCircle]

I went 10.5

[@gamecast92]

May I ask is your pair made in China or in Vietnam?

[@Birdmanjrxxx05]
