Been meaning to post my 868 stash for a minute, finally got to taking a photo today.
Wow should have got one while it was still in production. What's the next closest shoe that NB has? Or any other brand, since NB isn't as readily available in my region.
I would suggest a pair of 913s if you can find them. Tiagos seem great if you wanna go full tech cupsole. 440 if you want something lower profile
The 913 looks so good but oh so expensive, guess I'll lurk the Sales thread to score a good deal.
Are the TTS? I do 9.5 on DC shoes.
I'm a true 13 in every Nike I've ever tried. Got a pair of DC Williams slim in 13 and its a little tight on the toe, could have probably gone 13.5 in those if they existed.
For new balance, I've had x90 runners, 533v2 PJs, 440s and 913s. All of them were 13 and fit great, except the PJs were definitely a bit tight the first week but was just fine after they stretched out a bit.
I do have some small gripes about the 913 though, the tpu lace cage definitely protects the laces and keeps your foot in place, but I can sometimes feel it slightly digging in my foot when I bend down just above my toes which I don't like. Just barely though I doubt most people notice and I've never heard anyone else complain about it.
I also don't like shoes that have flex grooves in the tread, I feel like flex grooves kinda force the shoe to flex where the grooves are instead of the exact spot that they would otherwise flex in if you broke them in naturally. Never ever heard anyone else complain about this though so its probably just me.
Besides these two very minor gripes (which I'm sure nobody else cares about), they're a very very very good shoe.
