Concepts and New Balance collaborated on the 998, nicknamed the "C-Note" for its design inspired by the $100 bill. This is the original release from 2013, not the recent re-release, and does not have "CONCEPTS" printed on the outer heel. The size is JP 26.0 cm, US 8.0. There is some minor wear and slight denim color transfer on the tip of the tongue, but I believe it is in very good condition. The original box, shoelaces, tags, etc. are included. As it is the original, you're unlikely to see anyone else wearing these, making them a very rare New Balance. I do not smoke.
