I think that's when the 480 was released?

[Sketch Hitchcock]

Good colorway

[rocklobster]

Anyone know if the 440 V1 fit TTS?

I'm a US 9.5, wide foot, 1010s fit me fine.

For me it does, both lo and high. It's a bit long and narrow but overall fit TTS.

@rothdigga I don't see any size 14 EST/PST 480s anywhere (Tactics and Kinetic are usually the only places that carry them). Will there be any on NB's site on Monday?

Tts but the toe box will feel tight on the top of your foot. Going up half size didn’t solve that for me so I stuck with tts and they broke in/I got used to it

[Olympus Mons]

Yo @rothdigga, got a (potentially) crazy question for you. Ever considered making a water-resistant "trail" version of the 1010? I'd absolutely love it, I wonder if others would have the same level of interest.

For me it does, it’s a little snug at first but breaks in. Also a 9.5 in 1010’s

I agree with TTS, same as 1010 but not snug at all, just fine.

[radcunt]

Man i'm so bummed the 440 V1s are being discontinued.  The V2 looks like shit.  The V1 is probably the best looking shoe being made for my tastes.

[beecee]

i feel that. i still need to try and snag another pair or two before they're extinct in my sz/reasonable colorways, probably gonna have to order from the US tho. the Vu collab has me slowly warming up to the v2 a bit but i agree the v1 is one of the best looking shoes imo

[radcunt]

I’m definitely not skating the ones I’ve got now.

Really? I love the V1s.  better stack em while they're still available.

[Fooj]

gdamn, 480s look amazing. The toe box shape is my favorite. NB doing all the right things

[Uncle Flea]

Ok. So I got the proof. Or my my mom does.

Our Prius eco score has dropped significant since buying the 808.
You can hear the car accelerates when I go from gas to break. I didn't think it would measure over time but it does.

The one down side to Orange Foam

Finally got to try the 480, the arch support gives it a weird pressure point on the outside of my foot but I think it should break in and get better? Anyone else have this issue?

I’ve had a few pairs, never experienced that. But we all have different feet. They do break in nicely though.

I see 14's still available today up on there.  Grab them!!!!!

I know, I wish that shoe had come out in 1980 so we could celebrate Magic's first ring instead of the one we let the Sixers get in 1983.

Yeah I saw them this morning! Thanks! 😊

[rothdigga]

Gotchu.
Best cw of the 480 by far imo.
Would be nice to have staple colors always available like dunks.

These were California Flag inspired colors just for a giveaway at our sales summit last week.  Not for sale sadly bros...only a few made for everyone.  Them cookies were GOOD though!

I think I’ll just give them more time, they seem like they just need to be worn a little more maybe it’ll fix itself

or put the nb850 sole on the 1010 to make a chiller shoe.

Oof got my early 80s mixed up again.   Forgot that was a 76er year

I'm not 100% sure if the design team has played around with making the 1010 on a trail-style version but I'll ask them.  it seems to work good with the 440 right now.  We don't sell a ton of units but the people who get them do like them (myself included).
