I'm sure it has been mentioned but how do the 480s fit compared to others in the # line? Say the 440?

TTS?

What other NB# do you feel are TTS? Only asking as # are only over the place with what people find TTS model to model =D

1010 and 440. All the rest +.5 (OG 288, 255, 533, 868 and 808)

508 is TTS.

I agree, tried them in a shop not that long ago and my usual 8 felt good.

Which is peculiar since the 288 sole and 508 sole are the same, yet the 288 was a "go 0.5 up" shoe for most.

On a slip-on kick right now and ordered some of those Foy 306L slips in my normal size. Anyone here skated them? Toebox seems like it's not extremely suffocating like Vans slips which I hate with a passion.

I’ve skated two pairs of them, one my normal size and the other half size down because they sold out of my normal size, but definitely tts. The half size down one fit but my toes had no wiggle room, and after a while my big toe would start to hurt. Good slip on none the less.

Here's a look at the White/Black 480s. Guess they're called Yin and Yang.

Also, he mentions a "shock drop" of the 480s with a story outside of skateboarding 

shock drop is REALLY SICK. i've heard it will be exclusive to east coast shops and a very limited run

Patriots colorway? Go birds?

Just grabbed a black pair.  Thanks again.  Haven't seen them anywhere else yet

Over my dead body (pats)...ha

Also while cleaning out my closet and downsizing I came across these ...  I bought them because they were on sale even though they were .5 too small and I tried to wear them a few times but even though the length was ok, the width was just too tight.  If anyone wants them ... $20 plus shipping or trade for a set of spitfire f4's.  I had only saw this color the one time.  Never skated.

Size 8

Premier has both colorways and a re-up on the orange.

They must have added really recently, I looked and didn't see them earlier.

I saw a bunch of shops list 10a today as the release so they did probably just go live. I saw the Orange there when I was hunting around for who was selling at midnight but like you no yin yans.

Bluetule sold out of the black white in 10.5 quick. I had both in my cart but waited til 12a PST to try and buy them from a more local shop. When I circled back, only the white black were still available in my size. Got the others from Uprise as the two locals didn’t have them for sale yet after midnight.

Thanks @rothdigga !  Also for those of you who wonder how I find sizes ... look at that list and then just start running through it looking for the size you want.  That's pretty much all I do.  Although I have an order of preference. 

[MusclesMarinara]

Curious of the 480 shock drop cw. Eagles midnight green is hit or miss on a lot of clothing. Usually gotta be subtle with it and pair it with the correct amount of grey and blacks.

[Doosh215]

Found this sick pants in a tiny NB store in a 3000 inhabitants polish village.
They're like Polar Surf Pants and I'd love to buy some more but no idea about the name.
Anybody knows?

I bought a pair of the cargo version of these and they're now my new favorite pants. Slightly baggy but nothing crazy, stretchy, and very comfortable.

I did that too. That list should be saved for future reference. I grabbed the White/Black ones in 14, but the Black/White ones have really grown on me. Starting to regret my choice. They look better in the shop pictures. The leather really pops in black.

May have to double dip then wait for the highs lol

[flintstagram]

I managed to pick up a pair of each colorway in size 12. I was a little unsure of the white ones, but every picture I’ve seen of the whites on foot look so sick.

Also, has nb# decided to always keep a 480 of some sort in the lineup yet? My wife is not super stoked on my shoe problem that has only grown more problematic as a result of the 480s, haha. I’m stressing over eventually not being able to find them.

Right now my go to has been, “But they’re limited! I have to get them now!”

I think they’ll stabilize at some point and always be in stock.

I bought 3 pairs of 480’s in the last 24 hours.. fairly certain I need help.

I think it goes both ways ... I grabbed the black pair but I have second guessed if I should have got the white pair a few times haha

Given its a discontinued (or about to be) model, buying them online now, I think gets a pass in my book.

Have you scoured all of Poshmark, Ebay, Mercari, Depop for any new/gently used 11.5 if that's your thing?
