Solid first session. 4th 808 in a row ❤️

[close]

How do 808s fit compared to say, 574s? I went a half size up in latter for work shoes and I want to get some actual Numerics now

[close]

Never skated 574 but 808 for me are TTS, I had them +.5 and they worked well too.

[close]

if you mind i chime in. TTS was waaay too narrow for me but lenght was managable. def try them on if you can. Most people in the NB containment thread were half size up as i remember.
sot saying the guy above me is wrong though. if you have wider/ medium wide feet tts could work but they felt rather narrow fpr me. i am TTS in dunk highs and fastbreaks if that helps.

574 fit is identical to 272- half size down, super wide forefoot.

Haha nice mine came in the mail this afternoon. The orange socks are a nice touch!

Pretty sure these are the first DC's I've ever owned let alone Lynx. Definitely, the puffiest tongue shoe I've ever worn. They feel nice though. Just a little stiff and need minor breaking in.

Mine are comfortable except there’s a seam right here where the tongue and toe cap meet that’s pushing right into my big toe as I walk. I’ve tried microwaving and bending, and laced them a couple of different ways which helped, but hasn’t gone away completely

[Steely Daniel]

Yeah, almost every pair of cupsoles binds on my feet in that area. Tyshawns did it too until I broke em in.

Those look massive though! What are you like size 15? I dunno if it's just the angle/perspective but they make my size 12 look like size 9.

lol Yeah size 13. They're pretty chunky, they actually wouldn't rotate in the microwave...

take those bad boys to a costco and ask to toss them in with the rotisserie chicken for a bit

[Daydream]

Haha, man oh man, the microwave pic! size 13 here as well, and just couldn't do those..no matter the price. Maybe it was the orange/navy ny knicks colorway or the large DC logo.. gonna stick with the fast breaks

So jealous of that colorways, haven't been able to find it in here.
Ordered the black/gum ones but they seem to be stuck on the mail.

They’re ugly in such a good way. Like how brown corduroy pants are ugly. I was telling my gf the color way is so out of my wheelbox but it just works somehow.

Joslins. A synthetic pair.

Spanky g6 wino slip cups. Such a good shoe. Gum bottoms too. Would love the black whites

I want to try some of these. How's the collar and tongue padding?

We might be the only ones who actually like this colour unironically or unapologetically. Though personally I'd prefer the black and gum they weren't the ones that were on sale for like 75% off. I guess they were fire selling off this colourway because it doesn't exist on the site anymore.

Microwave pic and Costco rotisserie chicken posts had me cracking up pretty hard though.

Good. I've been skating only this shoe for a few years now, so I don't have much to compare it to. I would say the collar is very stiff compared to other shoes. But not in a bad way, it doesn't hurt at all. My feet feel very protected. The tongue padding is perfect, for me at least. Enough, but not puffy. And they have tongue straps, so it stays in place.

I dropped off this pile at the Goodwill recently. I wonder what they do with them? Too trashed to sell, I'm guessing. Are they even good enough for some bum's feet? Or do they just throw them away?

Used skate shoes/gear should always be left at the local skatepark, these don't look skated enough that they would throw them out, I've seen some pretty bad shape shoes that they still would put on the shelves there though. But best to have them go straight to the people that would really appreciate them/use them for their intended purpose

[LebowskisRug]

I skated my Japan S today, same cream ones. They feel like a more flexible slightly thinner Jordan 1 or a slightly thicker, pointier 440. The insole is not very good and glued in, but they're really good out of the box.

[MyUserName]

Yeah I’ve heard absolutely nothing about the insoles or cushioning on the Asics thus far. I feel like they’re avoiding sharing details on them in all of the descriptions.

[LebowskisRug]

I don't think they have tech names for it and that's why.

I've had the same problem in my mantecas, but with my pinky toe. Only time helped. I had to wear them casually a bit, and sometimes with thick ass socks, but I don't notice it any more.
