Just saw a pair of the Black and pink Project BA on Depop, size 9.5. Figured that might interest some of you.

What do these skate like? Never seen them except on slap but I’m curious what they’re all about. I know they’re long gone but still interested in understanding

thinly padded upper, but chunky runner type sole. also very good fit, minimal stitching inside afair, felt like a glove. brian andersons sort of pro shoe. they made a vulc knockoff that sold better and looked bad. these were a bit too early for the techshoe resurgence, like the first emerica westgate pros.

i dislike nike but still wish i would've gotten a pair just to chill in.

they were very slightly different, but yeah, it was still pretty much a reissue. the sole is a little different and the swoosh placement and size and they have different heel panels. i also think bas had lunarlon in the midsole(?) whereas the ghost was just a regular cupsole, but i might be wrong on that.

i'm sorry if this came off as nitpicky.

that color way looks clean. lovely. how is the fit / feel?
[close]

The sole is like rigid plastic at first, but after a few days they softened up and now flex like a glove. Upper is possibly overventilated but thick around the toe and heel. The mesh is thick and black enough to hide bright socks.

Was contemplating buying this exact cw instead of a second pair of Crockett highs and now that I'm seeing these not in a promo shot I'm having second thoughts about my purchase haha. I really like the leather? wrap on the toe and heel. But  they seem more made for summer than winter with that mesh.
they looks synth to me, any idea of the materials used?

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I feel you mate, I have the all black Tae cambridge and they were also way to grippy for me. They are regulated to working shoes until the sole wears a bit off. You could also sand your grip a bit down, but that isn't the best solution in the long run.

I just got these in the mail and can't take em of



Ayy glad you like them! I'm about to upgrade my home studio, do you know who makes that bookshelf? Looks handy.

Edit: I must be losing my mind because i thought you had your feet kicked up on a desk and that was a miniature bookshelf and that was a computer and not a TV.  :-[

Haha a little desk shelf would be tight! This bookshelf is handy though. It came from Target, so quality is kinda shit but it holds stuff.

What size you wear? I ended up getting the last 9 from my local, but Funeraltuxedo helped me out with this link where you can find a bunch of sizes available: https://www.paradeworld.com/product/new-balance-numeric-440-high-shoes-black-orange-44-37041104257189/?gclid=CjwKCAiA_9r_BRBZEiwAHZ_v11xPCGZSR2pj9RnZGdzH3Q-WQkrh2qPJtjZyOaAbpHxRyhf-UJelABoCt9AQAvD_BwE

Had to then learn more about what Parade World is and found this Jenkem article. Seems like a cool operation!

I ordered a bunch of shit of of Parade yesterday, includng a pair of blue/black Spanky g6s on sale for 60$. I havent had a pair of Emericas in like 10 years, the last pair I had were the Reynolds Cruisers I think. Excited to try out some g6s

The only thing is if you dont spend 200$, the shipping can add up, each shop you order from charges another 8$ or something.

So spend 200$ if you can for the free shipping

Sick! I really want to get a pair of these but the 2 pairs of NBs I've bought before hurt my feet. Can't skate them more for 30mins at a time.

Ok so I'm not going mental or being too precious.

How annoying is that though? You should be able to skate them.out of the box

My feet hurt when I tried skating these with the insoles they came with, but I threw in a set of lunarlon insoles from an old pair of SB's and no more pain.

Plus now I get to save the cool insoles with the cobblestone and fallen leaves :)

I had the same issues with NB before. I had one pair I bought in a size 11 (I wear 10) and they were still too snug. I got the Slap 440s which are decent but still oddly snug and clunky. The 440 high is somehow way different regarding fit. I’m cool with the flimsy insole because of the cupsole and being used to skating Reebok’s. Also the Tiago’s are great, I just can’t always pull em off.

Got some black mono all stars to replace my beat to hell purcells.

Photo doesn't show it very well, but I coffee dyed the laces to give them a putty color instead of the gas station white.

I've read I need a flatter insole because I have high arches, but I'm addicted to lunarlon lol... These 440 Hi's do fit really nicely though, I like how flexible the mesh on the upper is. Materials are so nice too, even the laces! And speaking of Tiagos, I'd love to try some 1010's when I see a colorway that speaks to me.

What Reebok's do you usually skate? Before I sprung for these I had been hunting for some Club C's to try out.

I’ve only skated the Revenge and Club C (3 or 4 pairs). They don’t last very long but if you’re not concerned about that I feel like they’re good. Usually I’m mainly concerned with comfort when it comes to a skate shoe. At a point I realized cupsoles worked better for me, I was conflating “boardfeel” with needing a shitty overly thin sole. I’ll still skate a vulcanized shoe but see no obvious advantage.

Idk about arches, I have a high arch too, and I’ve been led to believe that you want to have enough support so you don’t supinate or begin collapsing your arch. But support can come from other parts of the shoe not solely the sole (pun sort of not intended).

Not a huge concern given they can be found at nicer prices than other shoes I like to skate! Love how they look too. I just had to go with these NB's because I am really loving all or mostly black shoes these days, and Tom Knox of course...

I'm particular about colors and materials (to a fault), but it's all about comfort and healthy, happy feet at the end of the day.

Idk about arches, I have a high arch too, and I’ve been led to believe that you want to have enough support so you don’t supinate or begin collapsing your arch. But support can come from other parts of the shoe not solely the sole (pun sort of not intended).

Not a huge concern given they can be found at nicer prices than other shoes I like to skate! Love how they look too. I just had to go with these NB's because I am really loving all or mostly black shoes these days, and Tom Knox of course...

I'm particular about colors and materials (to a fault), but it's all about comfort and healthy, happy feet at the end of the day.

@Urtripping any luck getting the Knox 440 mids in black? How do they feel/skate?

That BA colorway is awesome, the gum outsole is perfect. I only remember the blue/grey ones coming out.

I just got these in the mail and can't take em of

Sick! I really want to get a pair of these but the 2 pairs of NBs I've bought before hurt my feet. Can't skate them more for 30mins at a time.

My feet hurt when I tried skating these with the insoles they came with, but I threw in a set of lunarlon insoles from an old pair of SB's and no more pain.

Plus now I get to save the cool insoles with the cobblestone and fallen leaves :)

I had the same issues with NB before. I had one pair I bought in a size 11 (I wear 10) and they were still too snug. I got the Slap 440s which are decent but still oddly snug and clunky. The 440 high is somehow way different regarding fit. I’m cool with the flimsy insole because of the cupsole and being used to skating Reebok’s. Also the Tiago’s are great, I just can’t always pull em off.

I've read I need a flatter insole because I have high arches, but I'm addicted to lunarlon lol... These 440 Hi's do fit really nicely though, I like how flexible the mesh on the upper is. Materials are so nice too, even the laces! And speaking of Tiagos, I'd love to try some 1010's when I see a colorway that speaks to me.

What Reebok's do you usually skate? Before I sprung for these I had been hunting for some Club C's to try out.

I’ve only skated the Revenge and Club C (3 or 4 pairs). They don’t last very long but if you’re not concerned about that I feel like they’re good.

Yes I got lucky, my local had one size 9 left! Thanks for putting me on to Parade though, I may try to get another pair there depending how long these last me.

So far I've skated them twice, noticed that they felt broken in right away but the insole was a tad thin for me (easy fix). The leather is holding up pretty well, although I am gonna be using some proactive gorilla glue/shoe goo on my ollie area soon because it's a thinner piece there.

Flick is beautiful, and they are supportive of my ankles without feeling stiff/restrictive. No major complaints so far! Skated after dark for a bit last night and felt real cool pushing around with the reflective N's  8)

Vans x Simpsons Slip-On Pro

Breaking them in a little bit just around the house today. Couldn't get a good shot of the Bart skull and crossbones on the side.
