New Balance # containment thread

[the canadian suit]

Arrbee and 410 killed it.

Wasn’t a huge fan of the 440v2 upgrades initially but come on mannnn you know I had to get a pair for my city! The clip posted above sold me on them 100%. Scooping my pair up after work

[moonordie]

Mediocre acting and bottom tier skating by yours truly.

Loved it. Tongue looks dope.

[410]

Everything still in stock except 13. Of course

I’ll add one to the store if you want to buy one. We have one in store I can pull. Just DM me

thank you! Sent a DM a little while ago, prob too late in the day tho

Hope the launch and everything in store went well! Very dope rollout and shoe

[Stoop Kid 2.0]

Hyped I just bought those. Colorway reminds me of a vans shoe I had when I was 10 that I loved.

[Esmith5488]

These run TTS? I can’t get to VU for the next few days and wanted to snag. Only experience I have with the 440 was the OG one that everyone on slap got for 23 dollars on eBay

TTS for me. I wear a 10 in just about everything and 10's in these.

Snagged in a 9.5, worst case im sure they will stretch after a while

[Crabby_Bastard]

For any of you who skate the 440v2 but require an insole upgrade, what have you all been using? I like the shoe but I need something a little better than the stock insole.

Is been a while since last time we freaked out about what shoes Reynolds is wearing. At first I thought they were some 600 but then I wasn't sure 🤔
Also is 7:28am and I'm sleepy since the cat went berserk last night some maybe is some model I know but by brain is not computing.
Any thoughts?

[close]

Our NB buddies have assured us there won’t be leaks, so I’d rest assured there won’t be any this far out

[close]

Yeah but I refuse to believe that

Believe it. You might hear about it, but I’ve been authorized to use corporal punishment on any suspected leakers.😂😂

[jakeumms]

DLX has some pairs of the VU 440 v2 in 9-10.5 if you're on the West Coast

After the 1010 and the 600, I’d be kinda lost to figure out what to bring to the table for NB# that those two didn’t already nail

If anyone has enough clout to make a model without the signature "N," it would be Reynolds. I get its their branding but a solid cupsole option that doesn't have a giant logo would sell to an audience that likes everything about the product but the logo.

I can live with the logo but it's always nagging at me. And for some reason, cutting it off also feels wrong.

I’ve been trying to figure out what he’s gonna do with a shoe from 440 to 1010 you really have your bases covered . I could see him trying to do something that straddles the line between performance skate shoe and great everyday shoe with how much he’s been posting and liking posts with nb lifestyle shoes. a skate shoe you could walk all day in and not wanna take off after the sesh could be great crossover hit for the NB

Copped a pair from Orchard. I love that this shoe is a nod to the 990v3, which is one of favorite sillouettes to wear at work. Huge contender for shoe of the year in my opinion

[southphillytapwater]

I tried searching this thread but couldn't find a direct answer. How does NB sizing compare to Vans? I wear a size 9, usually half cabs, looking to get some 440 highs. Should I size up or down or stick with a 9?

[Scarecrow Radio]

Stick with a 9, the 440 Highs run a little bit long. I wear a 10 in Cabs and I have a pair of 440 Highs in 10.5 that are just a smidgen too big, they feel better with thicker socks on foot. Version 1 I mean btw I haven't tried the v2's

I've cut the N off a few different models. Its easy and I like the way the stitching still leaves a faint outline. Sharp blade. no worries.

I understand it's easy but my unreasonable mind doesn't let me make make mods like that. I also think its silly I can't do it.
