Roth,

Why couldn’t the toe mesh panel be blue as well?!

[close]

That is much more of a design and production question that I steer clear of.  I give input once they present me with options of "this or that" but other than that, I am sales and let the designers handle the heavy lifting.  I learned long ago that my personal preference is definitely NOT what sells, but I do have a pretty good handle on what shops/customers will want.

Fair enough.  I guess it goes toward the convo in the Parade interview in not wanting pants to cover stuff up and really wanting to push the guy Axion influence forward as that was the shoe that got away

A 440 Slap colorway would be dope, just saying...

Would be a sick colab since slap has always backed NB
Plus I’m sure like 50 pairs of those sale 440s was from slap

[Spaced Cadet]

Anyone know how wide the 1010's are? I'm wearing Vans Rowans right now if anyone knows how they stack against those.

Seems like 100 or more pairs. Who didn’t buy multiple pairs of those 440?

I only bought one pair but just because I wasn't sure how they'd feel. Now I'm trying to get a dark colorway so I can trade of and be a little matchy. If I had known I for sure liked how the 440 fit I would have bought at least two pairs. Oh and for the record, they fit totally TTS which is new for me and Numeric.

[jay_nev]

Yeah they do. I fucked up and got the wrong size (12), then my size (13) was gone when i tried to switch it an hour or two later.

Just picked my tiagos up from my local shop......oh boy!!!

First impressions:

would recommend going true to size

toe box is kinda roomy, little on the square side as other NB Cupsoles. I would say they are midium wide. they still feel kinda stiff, but i think will break in nicely. The heel lock is perfect and the materials used for the cushioning feel nice. the shoe is thicker under the heel, than in the front, but it does not drop as much as in the busenitz pro. even under the ball of your foot there is a substantial amount of sole due to the midfoot foam part. They are not as thin in the front as his DC pro model was.

Materials feel mad nice and they have a decent amount of arch support

I blew it and got one since I didn’t know how I would like them. Turns out I like them just fine

[Firebert]

I shared that link with at least 5 homies not on slap that bought those 440s

Is it possible to take out the insoles on the 1010 tiagos?

Would cop a few pairs. The 440 would be perfect too

Roth, I’ve notice that Tiago’s shoe price changes from store to store. I’ve paid $99 on parade but in a lot of other stores they go for $109, what’s up with that?

[DaSk8D00D]

There’s a removable ortholite insole but I can’t think a reason to swap them out. Shoe is plenty supportive and a thicker insole wouldn’t really benefit you IMO

Same. The box price for my pair says $99. But others stores has them at $110. Like on the NB site.

Here, they're £85 at a chain skate shop and are £90 on the NB site, where they're exempt from promotions. None of the "local" shops have them online yet.

Has anyone skated them?? I can only imagine there are no reports because everyone is having a blast skating them. I'd be interested to hear how they compare to the 868 and 913...

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Mang, if westgate ever brings out a synth colourway, I’m so down .... same with Tiago too

[Paperclip20]

Just ordered myself a pair of the Tiago's from premier shop. Beyond hyped to try them out. My 440's are slightly too snug on the toe at 11 so I went with an 11.5 and i'm hoping that's good.

*Editing to say I found mine on premier shop.

My local has the white colorway online for $109 if anyone’s interested let me know I’ll post link

NB 306 Sizing

Apologies if this has been answered already, but how do people find the NB 306 from a sizing perspective? I am generally 10.5 in Vans (Era, 112s) and Nike SB team classic, 11 in Adidias, and strangely just a 10 in the Emerica Dicksons.

Cheers, JK

That shoe is supposed to be $110 actually based on the pricing and tech it has, but we were selling them to shops as a $100 retail price.  NB.com put them up for $10 more so we left it as is, letting the shops sell them for $10 less to generate more business.  I could have corrected the NB site but honestly I just wanted to push more business to the shops that had stock.  I think some shops saw we had them for $110 and just followed that pricing.  Hope that makes sense.

I’m a 9.5 in everything including the 306’s. I’m on my fifth pair and they always have fit the same to me. I’m also the same in vans and adidas so I’m not much help to you but I would go TTS. They do loosen up a tiny bit through their life but nothing dramatic

Thanks, I will order TTS then. Heard a lot of good things about the shoe, especially in the heel lock and ankle support dept. Last two pairs of shoes I had (Adidas and vans) were bad for heel slippage.

Hoping Rothdigga can help a brother out! I've always really liked to skate the nike sb gato...i saw NB has an indoor shoe that is pretty similar, you think it'll skate ok, durability wise and such?

[close]

Which shoe are you talking about from NB?  The 442?  We do have a 288S with a soccer toe style stitch coming for Holiday that might be what you're looking for, but I bet the 442 might hold up ok for skating even though it's not built for it.

any sneak peeks? 😬

Really clean
