i'm obssesed with these. retro-futurist is the perfect way to describe them, surprised i didn't think of them in that context before. perfect encapsulation of my aesthetic

[@sumeetshah5931]

I'd add one more pair of NBs to this list in the Retrofuturism play: The 57/40. Those kicks are FIRE.

[@michaelsykes8114]

They're so good dude. SO GOOD.

[@grewalaman]

This is a new classic from NB.....always considered this a dad shoe.....but this silhouette prove me wrong, not just style but also comfort.....will be adding many to my collection.

I got mine finally and it's really big on hand

[@evilutionvj]

Does it run true to size ? I usually wear a US 13 Jordan 1 and 13, so wondering if to go with same size for this NB silhouette ?

[@SpecialDelivery_FTW]

These run TTS! Our producer wears a 12 and these fit him perfectly, so we’d recommend going with the 13!

Does this colourway come with alternate
laces?

[@GrandmasterDinnerRoll]

nay
