Picked that deck up in the middle of a roadtrip last summer across America cause it was the only 7.75 the shop had. Deck held up the rest of the trip and it was a surprisingly good board

This definitely screams “only thing the shop had”. I respect you for it.

That's a sick colorway, how do they skate?

Thanks, I thought so too!

They are way different than the thrashed NB# 508s I was skating before, but so far I am digging em! I think I like the stiffer sole.

The flick is way different, still some adjustment needed, but I did one of my best frontside flips so far in em! Caught it pretty high for me!

holy shit, took me a minute to see that these are not the orange label dunk lows in grey 

wich is a plus and means i might get those lynx zeros finally- cool looking from top down. please report further on the performance of the shoes.

And get ya some more frontside flips, my man!

[dr.prestige]

On a work trip to the approximate Philly area right now so I swung by Nocturnal and got this board. I brought trucks that I don’t like and wheels that I’m not crazy about from home so that if i lost my checked bag or ended up needing to leave my board here I wouldn’t be bummed. Featuring Stella the kitty inspecting the setup

Traffic Ricky 8.5”
Grind king disruptors (dogshit)
Early run nfgs i think they’re like 55 or 56 (they were a bit too sticky for me early on the later iterations were way better imo)
Reds?
Shortys hardware?
Jessup
Idk what risers but they’re 1/8”

Agreed, I'm stoked on the look of em.

I skated a new pair of 508s today, and I think because I am so used to them, I like them more than the Lynx Zeros. I have two pairs of 508s, so I am going to keep skating them to keep my familiarity.

The Lynx Zeros seem like great shoes especially if you are used to a puffier/bulkier shoe. Build quality is good, nothing to complain about.

I just think I skate better when the sole/foxing is very minimal so nearly all of the flick is off the suede, like on NB# 508/288s.

[Coastal Fever]

508s look sick but I’m curious about the exposed foam tongue?  Tried on some Bruins that had the same thing and didn’t realize it was a trend with new skate shoes.  It’s probably more comfortable but I’d be worried they’d split open and fall apart.

I had some blazers like that and never have a problem. Don't like it tho.

Super stoked to set up my fourth board in a week

My back and knees have been hurting so I had to put the dunks on the shoe rack for a bit and go back to Tiagos. So far I’ve been pain free

How is the mini logo board. I had one years ago and absolutely hated it but wondering if they have improved?

Yup, just tried them. Maybe you can go -.5 if you like them snug.

Hell yes! This is the vibe right here! BATB!

It is wonderfully mellow, which is why I bought it.

Tiny bit thicker than a typical BBS board, and the sound isn't as crisp, but it skates great for me. The shape and feel is exactly what I wanted.

I've never skated one before, so I don't know if they are 'better' or 'worse' than they have been. I have confidence in Powell putting out the same quality consistently though, so I am guessing they haven't changed.

I had a pair and had to go up 0.5 in them. They fit kinda similar to other modern DC cupsoles (run 0.5 small) and not like the OG (Kalis, Lynx, etc) which were closer to TTS.

Could be TTS or 0.5 small for you

I got (and returned) a pair of metrics in my size. Definitely going up a half size if I ever fuck with the techy DC Shoes again. Width is aight, if snug, but the toe box definitely fit too narrow. My feet aren’t considered wide either.
