very nice

Are the 440 highs supposed to drop today? Could've sworn I read that somewhere.

[bbk]

Monday, so tomorrow. Looks like Tom drops a part as well.

[jay_nev]

Yep. Available today

that 440 mid looks slick- anyone know how the 440s fit compared to the 213s?

[Bizarro Jerry]

I can't imagine a more supportive feeling shoe than a 440 high. Those are so sick.

Length wise they feel the same. Imo the 213 is more narrow fit in the midfoot.

Shoes dope, I may get them just to have to go out in. Knox is one of my favorites really looking forward to a new part.

I’ve had a pair for about a month now, they are super supportive and the leather is really high quality compared to what they’ve used in the past. Highly recommend these and can’t wait for the other colors that are coming out. Be on the look out for a light brown and grey suede in spring

Are they going to make standard colorways of the 440 mid and keep it as part of their regular lineup? Or should I buy every size 10 in existence?

[FakieFlipCG]

@bbk thanks! you were right.

A white colorway with green details is supposed to come out in February (according to rothdigga I think) which might mean that it's staying.

[Ishaboi]

Those 440 Mids look tremendous.

Has anyone skated the high top Courts? They appear to have the same sole as the Blazer; has anyone skated both shoes? The NB Courts appear to be a bit thinner than a Blazer, but I'm not too sure how the midsole holds up in comparison.

They're sticking around in the line after this.  The Knox colorway was just a way to introduce the 440-Hi to everyone.  This is a proper hi-top by the way, not really a mid.  I've been skating them and they're so damn good.  I just haven't had a good hi-top in a long time and they feel sick.

Hey Roth, any chance of you releasing a Tim Tim 213 colourway again. Liked the idea of the slimmed down version.

[jay_nev]

[Bubblegum Tate]

I think these drop along the brown suede/black sole.

Usually one color in leather, then one in suede in each season.

I don't remember seeing any of those in the upcoming seasons but it's not a bad idea.  That 213 without the padding in the upper was a cool look and seemed to go over well with everyone. 

[Frank and Fred]

I love the padding in the 213s... Its like blanket for my ankles.

[Frank and Fred]

Is NB ever going to do a slip on?

[Firebert]

Is NB ever going to do a slip on?

Yes, they're workin' on a Foy slip on

[Frank and Fred]

Oh Nice. Love my Cons slip ons but much prefer NB overall. Hyped to see what they come up with.

Hows the size compare between the 288 and 440?
looking into getting tom's 440 and have been skating the 288 recently.

Sorry for creating confusion but in my case I went half size bigger for both.

[Acky Jacky]

I gotta be honest, I thought these were never going to break in. I've got a bit of a wider foot. After a good amount of times wearing them and several lengthy sessions skating them, I'm sold as hell. I ordered the 440 highs from Orchard via Parade (free shipping). I have a feeling the leather will break in more easily than the suede, I have high hopes for the 440HI.

I'm with ya there buddy. Love those shoes
Don't think I would cop without padding but hey not every shoe is for me

Am I right to assume some of the other colours of the 440 high will be suede?

Yes, they're workin' on a Foy slip on

Summer 2021, I believe. Black with gun sole, and a dark green with a little red. Basically Foy’s 306 Green colorway, but in a slip-on. Gucci vibes
