I got a pair half off a couple months ago.  ;D

Been killing off some other shoes, probably saving them to skate next year at this point

Thanks man!  I think you were interested in them too no?  If so, my experience so far wearing them around the house is that length is tts, width is snug but not uncomfortable ( this is with a thin sock and a slight fat right foot, thick sock would be a no go until they break in ) and they seem to have a little arch support ( which I'm happy about ).  They will be hot though if it's hot out for sure since there is no ventilation.

Yeah, which is the only place I've seen this color way.  I'm hoping they come out, because I'd like to grab another pair.

They look great! I actually have a pair of Brighton Mid (grey suede) from the very first run, when NB# was still with Blackbox. That said, I'm sure these were definitely upgraded in so many ways like they did the rest of their shoes. It's the only shoe I haven't tried from NB's re-launch, and I am hoping Premier puts them back up. Like you said, it's the only place that had this colorway in the Brighton Mid. You lucked out!

emerica's quality seems kind of hit or miss lately. I had a pair of the new romero's when they first came out and they lasted forever. But these are looking pretty haggard after only like 4 sessions...

just spraypaint the whole shoe.  if you skate them, the paint will fade, and they will look even better

I bought two pairs of those exact shoes a few months ago of 6pm.com for $44 bucks a pair. They're too good. I skated through a pair ( kickflip hole that I got tired of shoe gooing) and I've been wearing the second pair as chillers. Favourite shoe except for the crockett vans mids because the sole is grippier. Way more durable and better looking than the vans though.

had to get white & black
1. the tongue WAY slimmer than the original
2. the toebox is pointier too. maybe i'm just 20 years older and my feet are fatter (?)
3. shape seems slimmer overall, which is to be expected
