I spent more time skating in NB# shoes this past year than any other shoe manu. After skating every shoe in their catalog, the Logan was my favorite. I just received a pair of Logan samples from the upcoming NB# relaunch (in May) and they are fucking dynamite. Seriously, an all around great skate shoe. They kept the upper relatively intact (although it feels like some minor, positive tweaks have been made) and invested most of their attention on redesigning and redoing the entire cupsole. The results are fantastic. The tread pattern is perfect and the sole is a lot more grippy than the first offering. The midsole is comfortable and extra cushioned in the heel, but without dulling the feel. Boardfeel is still excellent.
The fit of the shoe is still slim and close to your foot - toe to heel. True to size - no wasted area or gaps. The heel lock is an absolute vice...it's my favorite part of the shoe. It's not some generic fit, the back of the shoe wraps around your foot for a really stable and secure fit.
I only have about 4 hours on these so far, but I am noticing the nubuck isn't getting all fucked up and ugly like it did on the last offering. Maybe a better material grade is being used this time around. After two sessions, the toe and ollie areas would look like complete shit on the last Logan. I'm anxious to see what colors make it to retail because this will again be my #1 choice of skate shoe. So damn hyped NB# left Black Box. I want these guys to succeed because they are totally down for skateboarding.
