High school me would have been tripping if I knew one day Reynolds would be skating in baggy jeans and gray New Balances.
I think his choice for new Balance is also for protection .. Unfortunately, I was a very big loyal to emerica for years, but I find that their shoes no longer protect like before .. same for Lakai .. I I'm now skating new Balance, and I feel totally safe and the shoes have really good cushioning..Unfortunately for the real skate brands that remain in my heart, I think the two shoe brands that really protect today are Nike and NB. (Well it's a 30-year-old skateboarder who tells you that haha)

I’ve never had so many injuries. Yes I’m old. But damn. It’s been a rough one. So I benched the vans and now on the NB440H and it’s so much better. For me. I do feel like they just “fit” good with appropriate amount of material in the right places.

I guess I should probably skate something else that will protect my feet. It's just that cupsole shoes are so hard for me to skate. I'm too used to vulcs.

You would’ve had your mom grab you a straight fit pair of anchor blue jeans at the mall.

Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Classic brand in the mid-late 90's.

I've mostly been wearing 1010's these past couple years, they're tied with Dunks for my favorite shoe.[close]I'm new to the NB game. Picked up some 212's and 440 highs the other day. Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm a huge fan of the Converse Fastbreak Pros, which is what prompted me to consider the 440 highs. Don't think I'll be going back to the Fastbreak. The 440 highs felt amazing from the first kickflip.[close]Am I the only one that got blisters on my Achilles from 440s? Two pairs did me dirty so I gave up on em. I had the Westgate NBs and liked how they felt but the sole wore out too fast

More like old balance ya pack of dick knobs
I think he fits current NB better than he would current Emerica. His era of Emerica is no more, time to move on.
