I could be wrong, but I don't think these shoes will have the same success as his first NB model.

I’m wearing and skating a pair right now and looking down I can definitely tell you this one gonna sell just as good and imo it skates just as good as the 1010 with a few subtle differences.

Haven’t skated the 808, or even tried them in yet, but have seen them in person. Sole is hella think. A lot more stuff than the 1010. Definitely a shoe that will have to to be worn in. Maybe even walked around in for a while before skating them. No way they don’t have less board feel than the 1010.

Having said that, I think that’s we’re skating shoes are going though. Thicker, puffier shoes. Gotta match the pants, and this Big Boy pant trend ain’t dying anytime soon

*Good heel lock right out the box* without having to lace it to the top hole. Will report back after putting some hours on them. Don’t necessarily want to flip trick this first pair to death but just might the toe box sleek and pointy irl if that makes any sense to anyone but me sorry for the bad explanation.

Shouldn’t a 2nd model skate better than the first?
(I’m aware that this is not often not the case)

Do Tiago’s ever go on sale? 

That’s definitely a dream shoe that’s simply out of my price range.  I know it would be so comfy.

Can we maybe get a slap/rothdigga friends and family discount rolling?

I've yet to skate the 1010s, but I think they look way better than the 808s (the 808s should be cheaper than the 1010s right? due to their numbering system since that refers to the level of tech used). Congrats to Tiago tho. Anyone else get a 2nd shoe with Nb besides Westgate?

Aliens, judgement day? (Altho I personally like the originals better)
with shoes I'm having trouble thinking of second model that is significantly better than the first. TNT 2s? Altho I've since heard many actually didn't like those

[typeischeap]

Empire Strikes Back...

Cabs vs. Half Cabs, Rowleys vs. XLTs, Emerica Reynolds 2. Pretty subjective tho...

[uesty]

the NBs jeff has on are CLEAN, 440s?

[rawbertson.]

there is also robocop 2...

 I think it looks way less Dad than the 1st shoe, imo it will sell way better.

I love the name!

Cabs vs halfcabs is pretty close to original star wars vs empire. Sure it's better but it really needed the first one to build on.
The dark knight might be the best example but I haven't watched batman begins in forever.
Emerica heath was horrid compared to his second shoe. mj second lakai too altho like the Rowley vs XLT I'm sure there are some people who prefer one over the other

i think it's better to think of the 808 less of a sequel and more like a different movie starring the same actor. for example the 1010s could be terminator and the 808s could be the 6th day

[Sketch Hitchcock]

808 looks too narrow…  :'(

Don’t over think it haha
If you get a pair just get your true size in the 808
If you get some 1010’s and the toe is mesh you can go down a half size. If the toe is solid materials get your true size IMO

Thanks man.  Tiagos are on my wishlist since most shoes are too narrow for me… I wear a US 13 and a lot of companies dont make those sizes properly… but that’s for another thread.  That wont apply for most people, as you suggest…
