Those 440 V2 are looking tiiight
Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

My life always goes in this cycle. I’ll go crazy and buy a bunch of stuff, then purge it the following year lol.

I'm super guilty of this too and I am always wondering in retrospect why I fall for the same shit and engage in the same habits. I've got 4 pairs of 1010 on deck and I love that shoe, but I kinda love 440s more so why not just deal until V2 comes out?

Does anyone have an estimate on when the v2's drop? I only skate the 440h right now but like some others want that slightly more supportive mid sole

I think my issue is how it’ll affect the planet. Like my gear is so specific it’s hard to get rid of in my small town. My only solution is to use my gear until it’s useless. But I’d definitely wait for the V2 since you love the OGs. Who knows, they may turn into your new favorite and you won’t want to skate the 1010s.

Does this help
Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year
Just came back from skating the 600 for the first time and I'm very pleased. For me shoe worked perfectly, they felt good straight away and sure they're TTS.Grip is great and tbh I can't think of anything bad about them besides wishing some tongue straps and maybe a little thicker/puffier tongue. Landed primo twice and felt nothing.
So will the og 440 be permanently out of the line up now? Don't really dig that giant N on the v2

It's one less production step. One less cost of materials to buy and install in shoes. Easier/cheaper to do a tongue lace loop instead.Shoes I enjoy usually have them and shoes I enjoy less tend to not have them. So there's a correlation present for me. I also think they should be pretty universal on shoes.
