Pictures are coming on Monday according to nepenthes Instagram. Wonder if we'll see mismatches as on the vans and trickers...
Also curious on what models they're using. I'm hoping for 996.

Wow, I literally just ripped the tags off of a pair of 990 Made in USAs and can't return them. I had no idea they were doing a collab. Sucks for me

Not sure what other colours are coming, but here's a small preview of what the NB's look like -- 990s by the look of them. Mismatched but tonal which is a nice mix.

you sure they are gonna be those? they didnt preview the vans in the lookbook, nevermind i guess they did. think you can buy regular 990s in these colors and get the same effect - literally.

I don't think there's are EG 990's, those are just normal NB's. I am wearing the same shoe right now.

How do the waist tabs usually affect sizing on EG pants- ie. do the waist tabs on a 32 make them nearer 30-31in or is it more like 33-34 down to 32 with the tabs done up? Or does it vary depending on the style/season?  I'm a 31in waist (actually nearer 30" 3/4 these days) trying to work out what size would be best in USN pants or last FW's ground crew pants.  Workaday cords (which I understand fit small) are perfect for me in a 32 - but they're the only pair of EG pants I have so far so still a bit of a newb on this front.


I would go size 30

As far as the tabs go, a 34 is going to be a 34, but the tabs allow that to be snugged up a bit.


Have to disagree with that, ime marked waist size will usually be with tabs on, for instance I have size 28 and with tabs on they're 14.25" across, tabs off they're just over 15"

The storm coat looks unreal! Shame it's a small. I have an olive hooded down vest from FW11 that I'm thinking about selling not 100% on it yet. Barely wore that thing.

The NBs x EG are actually 993s and there are 24 pairs of 2 mismatched only colour ways: A light and dark grey mismatched (the ones you see pictured on the fwk model) the other is a black & navy mismatched. Sold instore only.

Also the EGxVans illusive Sk8 his come in black and white, not sure about a mismatch.
