About a month in on my first pair of 808s. Took awhile to get used to them but now i feel like i have to skate bulky shoes for awhile since ive adapted to them. Looking down at my feet on the board looks sick and they look sick in clips, already ordered a 2nd pair and def want to try the 1010s but from what i heard theyre a little more slick on the tread?
Definitely a slicker feeling bottom and going from 808 with the sole thickness the 1010 does feel a bit just less if that’s a way to describe it doesn’t feel as stable I guess. Tried putting on a 440 the other day since being 808 exclusive and felt like I was wearing slip ons it was so vastly different

If only those 600s didnt have the mesh, shit gets dirty so quick and the fantomfit tape or whatever is peeling up on my pair that are only a week old haven't even skated them yet.

If you mean something like this same thing is happening to me on my 1010 :(
Been skating them for like 2 weeks.

That happened on both pairs I've owned. The collar mesh also ripped on both pairs before I skated them, just from walking around for a week or two to the corner store and shit. I tried New Balance support on the first pair a few times and never got a response and didn't try again for the second pair because of that experience. I like the soles but it's weird how the mesh parts just rip from walking in them. I figured this was just a launch issue but my more recent black pair is suffering the same fate.

ive got a strange request..

can anyone hook it up with some 600 look down factor? These 288s arent gonna last forever and all the pictures ive seen of the 600 look like the shoes are tall (if that makes sense)

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Ugh, I just checked and it looks like Australia didn't order any of the 440-hi's for Spring, Summer OR Fall 2024.  They don't range 100% of the line so it looks like they passed on these sadly for you.  NZ has a similar selection so no option for there either.  Sorry!  Wish I could help more here.

Wut? You mean across both the shoes? For real?

Wide 440v2’s in Black with White are up:

https://www.newbalance.com/pd/nb-numeric-440-v2/NM440V2-45403.html#dwvar_NM440V2-45403_style=NM440BNG&dwvar_NM440V2-45403_width=2E&pid=NM440V2-45403&quantity=1

Anyone skate these from the first drop? They weren't necessarily 'wide' based on expectations, right?

@rothdigga
Was the V2 High going to come in wide? I can't recall.

Yeah I think the interior/inner foot Ns are slightly smaller than the outer-foot ones (apparent in the negative space of the N) and mine are placed all out of order.   

I might post a photo, but I also might not because it isn’t THAT big of a difference and I don’t want to highlight the little things like this that fry my brain, but it looked off to me straight out of the box

Looks pretty good. Not really for me though. I think my favorite colourway of these is green
