Been skating the Supra Shifter for a few months, and the NB#868 could potentially be next. Gotta say the shifter is reeeallyyy nice for me: cupsole is super thin and crazy flexible with satisfying boardfeel, but it doesnt hurt my flat feet like vulcs do (low impact skating). I'd say better boardfeel than vans slip-ons. The rubber + asymmetrical laces seemed gimmicky at first but im actually pretty pleased with the durability. Can't say I ever do much successful flicking, so idk how the toe cap affects me in that regard.
I think the 868s are beautiful and comfy shoes (colorway grew on me a lot after getting them just bc they were 60% off) but the boardfeel is wanting coming from the supras. might just keep em for cruising/everyday use.
Anyone got recommendations for durable, thin cupsoles? I remember having the Supra Hammer years ago and they were definitely thicker—are most supras thin like this now?
