New Balance # containment thread

[pedro_mayn]

I too, would like to see 868s again. The last and only pair I had just would not die haha.

I do understand if people don't get them, though.

But man they do look + skate dope.

[eSK3]

I’ve been waiting for a 1500 with a skatable sole FOREVER! @minigreek @rothdigga bless us!

868 needs to comeback full time. better than the tech westgate and looks more like a made in usa nb.

[close]

Totally agreed. Better than the Tiago IMO too (at least look wise).
You can colorblock it in the classic New Balance Grey's from the 99X's series and get a fuckin' banging of a shoe.

i've still got these!!!

[In A Jar]

Also here to say 868 > 1010.  Bring them back!  Maybe with a tread redesign that isn't a pebble magnet.

Been waiting for green Tiagos. Need these asap

[DaSk8D00D]

868 was a dope shoe but yall bugging thinking that they're better than the 1010's


The Grey Day 1010's shitting on any variation of the 868's, hypothetical colorways and all

True

Gonna cop some Tiago’s, the black & orange colorway got me…does everyone agree they’re TTS?

[FrontsideFrank]

Just got in a pair of the 272s I ordered. These joints run long as hell. I'm a snug 11.5 in 212s, 255s, and 306s. I've got an easy thumbs width of slack in the tip of these babies.

Cream laces on the green suede ones are fire.

Suppose to be this month but product h is a still getting stuck at the port.

Really want a pair of the black and white

[Ok]

Goddamnit I side with Will.
The 868s were really good, yes a pebble magnet, and also fairly firm in the forefoot. But nice nonetheless.
1010s are significantly more comfortable. And last longer (I had the 868s pretty early on, and then a few more pairs, some had some gluing/durability issues, still good for tho).
For me my fave 1010 cw is the beef broccoli, as some call it

[truthislie]

I was under the impression that the 868 got canned because of Tiagos model. I loved the 868 and in my world both of these shoes should coexist

[apport]

damn this thread is really making me want a pair of 868s. i thought they looked cool when tom knox skated them but they were never on my radar like that until now. anyone know what sizing is like on those? hoping to come up on a pair secondhand

[typeischeap]

Both the gray and black/white Tiagos look sick as hell I just can't get there since I've been avoiding "athletic shoes" my entire life and these get real close to blurring that line. That's a me problem of course, still carrying that punk rock elitism thing way too far into my 40's (ironic, isn't it?).

868 was on my radar, but no one in my area ever carried them. I always need to try a shoe on first. NB# is a lot easier to find these days. I wants a pair. I looked on eBay and couldn’t find any that were my size. There are some pairs on there though!

Trust me, it takes a little time to get used to but then your feet will thank you sooo much haha.

They run small IMO so I'd say go a full size up or half size at least. NB# sizing is so inconsistent (some fit big, some fit small)
I've got a pair I'm still not sure I'll skate as they feel really really cramped (size 9, true size 8.5 but I always wear a 9)
Maybe all this talk and I'll give them another go

Maybe the sickest 1010 colorway to come out so far. Reminds of some of the 2002r colorways that New Balance does, like the year of the ox one.

[funeral_tuxedo]

lovely colorway. my favorite since the black/blue ones.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Fuck those Tiagos are clean!

[apport]

i’m going with white/gum as the best 1010 colorway
rob g makes them look so good here
