Saw these at my local buffalo exchange, idk if they're samples or what but it tripped me out that these had 440 on the tongue. I would have bought these but not my size. Anyone know what's up with this?

*edit* these also had a different insole and the tongue was a lot thinner.

One of our Numeric sales reps solved this brain buster by the way...This is NOT an NB mistake nor is it some weird sample.  It's a customer in AZ who likes to pull the tongues off of the 440's and re-sew them into the 933's for some odd reason.  I have no clue why, but I back any and all of the weird things people do to our shoes out there.  This was a new one for me though.

Woah way to track that down!    Begs the question whether he puts the 933 tongue in his 440s

selling to a degenerate on slap who would love to try that tongue experiment.
who would, raise your hand
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Sewing on another tongue is some Dr. Frankenstein shit. That’s true madness.

The real question is if there is some guy out there in 440's with reynolds tongues...

Heads up to our US bros on here looking for the Knox 600 X Krooked shoe.  We've had a hell of a warehouse issue lately (moving warehouses) and our pairs of this shoe are in purgatory.  So the US launch of this will be limited right now to the DLXSF store and a small amount on our .com until we finally get access to the entire order.  This was a global launch so we needed to get it out there so all of the other countries could sell theirs but we're going to hold off on a full US launch until all shops can get pairs here in the states.  Assuming January will be when we re-launch this back with our shops here stateside for them to sell.

Any good images of the Navy Reynolds shoes? Any idea on the release date for these?

I think the boxes are stuck in some black site where someone is sewing in 1010 tongues

Pretty sure those Navy ones you guys are seeing are Fall 2026 ones, so like June/July next year.

Thoe krooked Knox’s look so much better than the leaked photos.   The brown and green shades work well together

Same here. Only explanation for that cw that makes sense to me is something in the line of "My 2yo colored it"
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.
