New Balance # containment thread

Not sure how much of a fuck around postage would be but for those looking for 480s in size 12,13 this Australian shop has some. They also have discount codes for if you spend over certain amounts.

The Knox 600 hits my local shops tomorrow. Severely tempted to go and try them out. Like I need new shoes at the moment. I'm not a sponsored skateboarder, I'm a sponsorING skateboarder. I sponsor New Balance.

I like this. I too am sponsoring New Balance.

I’ve got a shit ton of size 12 NIB shoes sitting right now (like more than 20 pairs). Bunch of 306s, some 288s, some 1010s, and of course the latest obsession, 480s.

I probably need to sell some of at least the 306s, maybe a pair of 288s, and a 1010 or two. Anyone looking for size 12s hit me up! (I’m not parting ways with any 480s.)

The Knox 600's seems like they would fit my feet perfectly. Both 574s are pretty perfect, and seem sort of similar in the sole. 440s are a little too wide in the mid/heel area.

[In A Jar]

Had my first session in the 600s last night.  The fit is indeed more comfortable than the 440 for my foot.  The sole is stiffer and slightly thicker throughout than the 440.  They really seem right in between the 440 and 1010 to me.

Remove the green and I'd be stoked on this colorway. Look forward to trying this shoe.

Love this. One of the NB homies sent me a picture of the original they based it off of awhile ago, super cool.

Also FYI for all of you who were saying you didn't like the "INDOOR" on the heel, it only appears on the initial white/green as a nod to the original shoe.

[Crap]

How hard do we think it would be to remove that 'INDOOR' from the white 600's? It makes more sense now, seeing the original model that it was based on, and part of me does like how close of a tribute it is; but I would still rather not have it there. They're growing on me, but I still kinda wish they were just white/gum without the green accents or the 'INDOOR' thing.

I know is asking too much but are we getting a Tom part with the shoe?

I’d guess more of a commercial than a part

Tom's design process was like "yeah, that one".

So it’s basically the same shoe just with more tech? 😄

I mean, I still like ‘em.

Yeah but from what I gather it’s a deep archive dive

Well it’s great that they could give it a second life. And personally I like the “Indoor” written on the shoe.

Here's a look at the 600:

[JoeyLebs]

Not sure what these are; almost looks like a 550 mid or like an NB take on a Fastbreak. I’m here for it.

I didn’t want to have to be the one to say it.. thank you.

[tzhangdox]

lol i took the quickest glance and assumed. u guys are right my bad oops

edit: looks a lot better than the 650 actually, now i want some

[OhioGuy]

Give me all the mids/highs. Outside of the 440, they’re lacking in that department. Could you imagine a mid Tiago 1010 type shoe? 🥹

Sure it’d probably be a fucking boot, but I’d love to see it lol

I don't have ig but did this guy just switch to NB#?

I actually think its a photoshop of a pair of Nikes

Looks like it to me.   Maybe that’s the 650 N on there

[lildonut92]

I ordered both the black leather 480 and another pair of 1010's. The 480's might go back. I did not expect them to be as snug as they are. I have a wider foot though. Sucks because it looked like I everything I wanted in a shoe. I dig a basic looking cupsole.

I had heard rumors of 1010's fitting different than they used to and being less grippy. I hadn't experienced either of those things before with other pairs. But with this pair, the outsole feels noticeably more slippery than the outsole on the 480. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm pretty faithful to NB at this point but now I want to try the Asics Japan Pro.

Just saw it. I'm very satisfied and happy. Thx NB# for ripping a hole on my pockets. Need those whites.

Sounds perfect. Thank you.

I just bought some 440 highs. A Tom Knox colorway. They dont have removable insole like the lows?? They have some slippery satin finish
