How’s the sizing on the 440’s? Wear an 11 in blazers and want to give the 440’s a shot. Sizing similar or do I need to size up/down at all?

Update: ended up getting some 440’s today. Thanks for the sizing info! Ended up going with the same size I wear in blazers and they fit perfect. Super comfortable shoe! Excited to skate them.

Has a Reynolds sample leaked yet?  Gotta be something in the works

I will probably definitely buy a pair, even if they aren't my typical shoe type (I skate vulcs almost always).

I’m with you based on all shoes he posted since getting on I gotta feeling he’ll have a more tech shoe than even the 1010. I wouldn’t mind a nice pair just walking around

I can picture an updated 868 vibe for a Reynolds shoe.

Hate to say it but... I skated my 1010s today for the first time. The arch pain went away after the first 20 minutes or so. But after 10 Kickflips the sole on the toe area separated from the suede. I now have glued it back on. Looks like shit. Can't remember this ever happened to me besides skating canvas element shoes i had stored in the garage for 15 years..

@rothdigga will get it sorted if wherever you bought them from can’t because that sounds like a defect.

I have two pairs in rotation and the only complaint was the arch pain, which went away after wearing them around for a week prior to skating. Skating them out of the box was unbearable after a couple minutes of flatground.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to @rothdigga who helped me out with this. Such a good dude !

God, I hope so. Always wanted a pair of 868’s, and then they went away before I could get some

He’s wearing a shoe I don’t recognize in rb umalis story and looking at the 868 you guys might be on to something . It looks similar-ish

It’s a dirty pair of wheat 808’s with a black lace swap. Relax bros.

[OhioGuy]

Pulled the trigger on the 440 lows. Hope the fit isn’t too different. They were only $56 so it won’t be too big of a loss if I hate them. Just want to give myself some more color options. Even if they’re smaller, don’t think they can get much worse than the Tyshawn’s lol. That shoe is NARROW.

Picked up some Brown 425s from Orchards sale. Never tried NB Cupsoles before always been a GT Blazer kinda guy. Hopefully these arent too bulky feeling. Either way they’ll be some good looking chillers

i'd be very surprised to hear anyone describe the 425s as bulky. it could happen but i'm having a hard time imagining it so let us know

[rawbertson.]

that new jake hayes colourway is amazing. i really cant be spending money on shoes right now though i missed it last time he came with one (i got the foy blue though)

[DanRar009]

Anyone got any info on upcoming summer colorways ?

I'm hoping for some lighter colorways of the 508s myself, its been such a go to for me for the last couple of years and is legit comfortable and well made

I want some darker 440H. All the current ones look like 80s basketball shoes.

There's a black 440 Hi with a white N for Summer 23, same as the 508, should start hitting shops in 1-2 weeks I'm guessing.

If I recall correctly, they are a nice looking creamy suede colorway. Something I would buy as a carnivorous shoe wearer. Pretty sure that was the vegan one. No pics though.

Makes sense, that was sort of the color palette of the Samarria vegan 213s too

[Candied cigarettes]

Anyone here skated the 22s? The shape looks similar to the lrab 002s which fit my feet well so i just bought them on sale from ccs. I like the more minimalist look these have

[live, laugh, love]

I ordered some 508's that I saw on sale this morning. All 3 pairs of skate shoes in my rotation are pretty beat to shit. I've never had 508's before, does anyone know if they run wide?

Lemme know how you feel about them. I absolutely love my 440s.

Love the 440 Hi. I’m excited to hear there’s more colors coming out.

How do the 440s compare to Crocketts? Anyone skate both? Love the Crocketts but wish they had a bit more support.

I've skated both (Crocketts highs and lows) and prefer the 440s (both highs and lows). The Crocketts are just too stiff, especially on top of the big ol pop cush insoles.  The 440s are more comfortable and break-in in no time at all.  The collar of the 440 highs are supportive and you can adjust the level of support based on which eyelet you lace up to.  The 440 high has beaten out the Blazer, Crockett, and Tyshawn mid for best skate high top for me.
