NB were pretty big late 90s early 00s, especially on German terraces, people who wouldn’t wear the 95s migrated to NB for a short while until Nike stepped up their retros on the AM1 in a big way.
The dunk/samba/550 mania is mainly for Becky’s who get their OOTD inspo on TikTok though innit?

"Beckys"???
Thanks for the background on NB, I've just never seen anyone wearing the old style look like they actually enjoy wearing them. Mostly (sweeping generalisations incoming) off duty suit wearers, or people showing too much sock, people who care not for trainer styling, but just want something which isn't Nike or Adidas.

Aren't NB just trainers for people that don't actually like/wear trainers on the regular?
Have one pair, wear them out, buy another pair.
Some of their new ones are okay, but that might be because they have kind of become middle class fashion ubiquitous, like those adidas nmd's a few years back.
