5 day AZ skate trip in the 440v2Love the 440's. Wish I would of had a picture of a worn pair of the OG 440s to compare.
I wore through the suede on this pair before taking a chunk out of the outsole. Which usually happened on the OG 440's.
Also the ollie area is affected differently. Usually it would just rip the stitching and panel off completely. I'll stand by this. There is an obvious difference in 1010, 808, 480 compared to the 440's.
No matter what change they did to the midsole or upper. Besides the unusual wear marks.
I can't find any alarming differences between the OG and the v2. The toe box on the v1 was square and the v2 was made rounder. I can't tell a difference in flick. Also the midsole compound changed. I can't tell a difference in boardfeel or break in time.
I was skating 2 times a day on this trip. Just skateparks. Even a three park day in the mix. These photos represent that. Brand new from the start. Brand new board with pepper grip.
