I won't be able to justify both as I'm still looking for work and have a family to take care of but I need a new pair of skate shoes soon and can't decide if I should try getting the Village Psychic 1010's or hold out for a pair of Reynolds ... @rothdigga @mini greek  , everyone else ...  you think I'd be well served waiting or should I pull the trigger on the 1010's  And are both TTS?  I've never had 1010's and obviously very few have tried the Reynolds on foot

I don’t think the Reynolds are out until 4/18 and the Village Psychic’s are probably out by the end of next week (based on how quickly these shoes seem to come out) if that’s a factor.   

1010s (aside from Poets) have been TTS for me

Thanks Atiba!  I have some dunks that would get me until the Reynolds drop, but knowing it will be one or the other and wanting the Reynolds but liking the VP 1010's has me bouncing back and forth on what to do

Brown and gum 1010s

nice brown but god damn that a gum sole does not work especially with the white accents. shouldve gone with a white or black outsole

And the mesh toe, always looks better imo

mesh toe looks better too but tbh that’s the part i first blow through on the 1010s

[moonordie]

Just for visibility ... sizing on 1010's TTS?

TTS on 1010

[DeanMaple]

Who would wear the shit out of those?
I know i would.

[wax poetic]

How many of the color ways of the Reynolds are dropping on the initial drop, do we know?  All 4?

I believe it’s 2 for the first drop.

TTS for me too, good to skate out of the box. If I really like the colorway I can do 1/2 size down and let them stretch out during the (painful) break in period.

2 at first in April, then 1 in May and 1 in June. 

[moonordie]

Still crossing fingers for the 18.4 release to be also in EU since it would be great timing for my bday

Thank you my man!  I may even be employed again by then so I can actually afford to buy 2 pair haha

I love sneakers and I love NB, but that is some straight up retirement home shoe

Still bad. Like middle aged middle manager in a short sleeve button down shirt tucked into dockers saying hi in the mailroom.

Finally, I thought everyone went crazy.
Btw, 933 for 140€ in EU? Ouch.

[thehogsniper]

I totally agree, nonetheless make those with some white leather white sole and a red NB logo and i'm all in.

Woah. 140€, where you got that info from mate? BUT I will say this. If the 933 holds up twice as long as say a 1010 or 600, then the price is kinda justified I think.

I've been hearing $130 US from my local for a few months now. I think itll last as long as a 1010. My guess is that the tech and also paying a big name is what justifies the price.

Homie from sk8shoesba told me, when I asked him about source the answer "a website" wasn't very satisfying.

Supposed to be $130 USD so should be 120ish € but I don’t know what other fees or vat or whatever happens over there

[thehogsniper]

If you think the 933 price is bad, you should see the price of those brown shoes posted. $285. Absolutely insane.

[munchbox]

285 should be light to fresh retirees

my father was born in 64’
if he started wearing kicks like that
id probably break down in tears
his mother died with alzheimers at 90 years of age
so i could only think he is slowly losing his mind

mfs be 30, 40, 50 on here with no sauce or seasoning
unabashedly at that

[DanRar009]

Well it’s about a month out from the release of the Reynolds shoe. When can we start seeing any promo for the shoe? I expect a full breakdown video of the shoe similar to when Tiago got his first shoe

[marcusbutler]

Some worn out 440’s.

these look real nice
my experience has been that cheap things are not cheap. lots of companies making cheap shoes, and the shoes are not nice to wear.

My uneducated guess would be April 1st. 

But I think they should give Ohtani a cleated pair to use for opening day (he’s on NB)

Jack Curtin’s got a good look of the 430 on his IG stories
