It's not a full part, but they just put out a little edit for the Justin Henry 440v2 highs. He's been one of my favorite skaters for a few years now, so I'm stoked that NB is giving him some well deserved recognition.

When did he get on nb?

I remember his vans stuff a while back

I believe he got on officially at the beginning of this year. This was basically his Vans footy dump a year back

Idk how tf this dude is so paid. His style is so wonky and hes one of those guys who trys really hard to dress well but his fits just look goofy

[BeachChicken]

He peaked with his part in Mother as an am and lost his style too it seems he just perma crouches for 50 feet before every trick and everything he designs for Quasi fits stupid.

[Safariferrari]

phew thought it was just me. past his peak but i think he was injured. his outfits are overrated af but decent colorway ig.

You are not alone, I don't get the appeal either.

Yea I remember thinking he seemed full of himself in that vans thing where he went home or whatever. Maybe it was just they way it was shot and edited. But I felt like it was really trying to make him seem like big deal lol.

Nik stain > everyone

No contest.

Happy for this dude and though I am not a fan of the 440 high it for sure matches his style.  There are nice touches on the shoe but ultimately not for me.

If only Justin was like 10 years older he could've gone head-to-head against Lil Bowwow in the Gus Macker tournament

Pretty wild coincidence that every black pro skater has one or more intangible characteristics that makes them unlikeable to most of Slap.

You should call the authorities quickly and save us from this intangible racism!

Get real you fuckin dweeb, no one is free from criticism on SLAP.

This place is pretty damn progressive in its overall acceptable and popular beliefs.

[rikki]

Yeah that's pretty wild stretch. I mean, playing by this limited categorization, white-ass pros with questionable styles get at least as much flack here as the next brother.

Plus: I see skaters. I don't see race. What the f*ck is the latter about anyway? I thought that skaters of all people would've evolved past such categorizations by now. Zoom out, humans.

As a Black person, nothing is more cringe than when I hear people say this exact phrase. Lets stop with the foolishness.

I hear you and respect this standpoint, but believe it or not, when I'm at a skatepark and someone smacks a gnarly line that ends with a switch tre, I don't think "that was gnarly-ass line by that WHITE dude" or "man that BLACK dude rips". Good or mediocre skating is good or mediocre skating. (Might be me growing up with so much color around me I don't find myself thinking about it all that often. Your mileage may vary.)

[somedudefromnj]

yall gonna tell me the fit in that nose wheelie on that three up three down clip wasnt fresh?

he translates well in photos

[Atiba Applebum]

I like him a lot.   Just looks good on a board though I will admit there was a time he seemed like he wanted to be Mr fashion, I think that’s just part of growing up

[Gert B Frobe]

Shoe looks like it would be on the cover of Eastbay in 2001. Lets see if we get a part.

Nice try in attempting to turn the argument about race when people are commenting on his stance and he is liked by most of Slap. There are very few skaters that this forum universally dislikes. From memory most of them have done some pretty shitty stuff (TK, Naked). Some people don't like certain brands, fits, or attitudes, but FFS.

better the cover than the spooky shit in the back

eastbay was sick anyway

White dudes on Slap the moment someone who isn't white suggests they might be racist

Intervals will be live this Friday, 11/15 at 9am West Coast time/Noon Eastern for everyone to see.  Just clock out of work and stream that shit on the big screen in your office or skate shop so you can enjoy it that much more.  Excited for you all to see it for the first time, I'm pretty confident you'll be hyped.

I attended our town’s final skatepark meeting tonight and it was announced that the final amount of money we raised totals around $417k

The Villani is the official shoe of the Southern Pines Skatepark.

I think he’s a generally nice looking man who looks good in clothes. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t making some money modeling.

Damn dude I'm sorry bro, that sucks.

Laid off and not fired?

Hopefully you can get unemployment if so.

[devils acrobat]

Probably been covered but could someone please share if the sizing of the 440v2 high and low is the same?
