My NB collection
Was having a bit of a spring clean and rearranging my rotation for the summer months.
Thought I'd share my collection in the process.

Love this pair, especially how supple the black leather panels are. The toebox, however, is an entirely different matter.
This pair is the watershed pair that signalled the start of kicks sitting/becoming easier to cop.
Remember casually picking them up in store some 2-3 weeks after the initial drop.
Perfect for the Spring and in to the Summer.
Air Tech Challenge 2 - Hot Lava 2024 retro.
Card is currently 91 with 9 base PS & 2 PS+.
Card goes to 93 with 9 base PS & 3 PS+.
Trade off is +2 OVR to 93.
Only stat boost is +1 Ball Control.
It's May and I waited ages to get him usable, so heart says yes (and I likely will because of the PS/PS+ possibilities) - head says no.
What do you guys say?
I could have held out for 89-OVR chain Evos to edge these up slightly more, but the Attacking Round Out does enough for me to get them in as starters since I've waited ages to really get them into my team.
Crespo and Aimar have had pretty poor cards. Aimar had 75 shooting as an 87 so he has required a lot of patience and work to get up to a usable card as 87 chains were the only way to fix him.
Crespo in fairness actually got a 5*/5* FUT Birthday without the tragic PS+ associated to his style of play (Aerial or Power Header type PS+). He still had shocking passing and was released as an 88, one of the lowest cards in a Promo that also featured current players/non-icons.
What do you think of them?
