To all with the coming undone at the front of the Reynolds 480's is it actually below the suede level? Or if you skated it and wore down the top of that bumper would it be fine? I'll be on my second session in them this weekend and will update here but so far I'm not seeing anything looking off with mine and they are one of the most comfortable, best fitting shoes I've had.

I've noticed some concerns about the way the 808is designed. My shoe collar is blown out already from my grip. The leather should go a few milli higher making the interior less exposed. The toe box doesn't need that extra leather over the big toe. If you're wearing a hole through that part of the shoe when kickfliping probably should get your ankles looked at. It's point is probably to give illusion of indestructible toe box. Or cosmetic. The extra leather does not help my poor big toe. The reality is it's a waste of material that could have been used as a potential collar fix. The Ollie area is working out perfect for me rn. But eventually I'm going to be god damning the lil swoosh and points in the Ollie guard. It's not decorative. Shoe companies want you to think that. The thing is no one wants to give you a shoe that last 6+ months. It's bad for business. They want you to burn that Ollie areas up as fast as possible. If this shoe had that little gap in Ollie guard filled they wouldn't sell as many. The black rubber part of the sole is already starting to fall out. That's my main concern. I've had this happen with other weirdo shoes. I will be contacting NB if it continues.I'll fuckin show up at the offices and get my voice heard of I gotta. ML come out with your hand up and bring the 2 pairs you now owe me.

They have pushed durability as far as they can go while maintaining incredibly functional shoes.

I want to fight you so badly richardPlease give me your address ill make it my life goal to punsh your face in
Been wearing 440s for a while and just got a pair of a newer colorway (white and navy low tops). Noticed they switched the insole from all my previous pairs. On a new high top and low top pair I just got. Something they call the “ortholite”. Seems much better than the older version. Little tiny bit thicker and way better material that seems like it will absorb/hole up much better.
