Not so much that its cheaper overseas.....just that you get to hunt for REALLY limited edition stuffs.....

thats true. still remember me managing to hunt down a pair of phantaci back then in ximending when there were no SG shops bringing it in. and at a really damn good price.

 

[hosehbo?]

Any NB experts here? What's the main difference between Made in USA and Made in England?

Made in USA versions are catered for the US market, about 25% of the pairs sold in US. Have more factories and more range. Mainly designs first made popular decades ago that have been revived mainly as fashion accessories. Got their top of the range and custom versions that are very expensive.

Made in England versions are created mainly for European markets, about 30% of the total sold in Europe. Only has one factory in Flimby so the pairs produced are lesser. Predominately New Balance 576, 577 and 1500. Harder to get a pair.

Thanks. I'm considering this pair so probably need to go try out the sizes first.

NB experts, anyone tried this french seller "stock-shoes" or any other french sellers on ebay?

i see the french prices for made in uk stuff like 576 going for sub 100 euros sia, which is low.

any reputable ebay sellers to reco?

for me i used oi polloi before but not for shoes yet. they ship fast but their NB selection is really small
