Been skating the NB# black vegan 440s and I really like them. Seems to be the same synth suede that vegan Es accel OGs are made out of.
The black/gum accels were the most durable shoes I've skated in probably my entire skate life (though I did superglue the seams/stitches after the first session), so I'm very on board for more shoes being that material.
So far the 440s feel amazing out of the box (the top of the shoe under like, the laces has thin foam padding instead of just a layer of vegan suede and it's so comfy), great board feel. The toe cap stitching in my ollie and kickflip areas are toast after 3 sessions so I'll likely need to shoegoo or superglue them, but that's to be expected. Overall, not bad at all. I did use black nail polish to black out all the bright white accents though...hah.
