Don't remember this colourway being posted but they're supposed to be dropping April/May

These are looking gooooood

I think the N with the black outline looks too much to that classic dad new balance for me.   Make it solid black

I'm with you on this. With summer coming up, these would need to be a truly skate only shoe with the dadness of them and I don't know if the money would be worth it.

Was going to say this. Alternatively, they're held on by one row of stitching, just remove it with a razorblade

Hah I appreciate the solutions, but I’m not going to get them regardless.   Just sharing thoughts on how I’d alter it theoretically

These are the leather version with the gum. The white suede (white midsole) ones drop July/August.

Will get those instead.

Ooh now I can't unsee...

[Eric Dolphy]

I think y'all are tripping anyway, they look how they should. I fux with the dadness of them. A black N amongst an otherwise predominantly white shoe wouldn't look right to me. I'll probably skate these when they drop and then grab the white suede in six months, if they come to nz

My daughter is going to punk me for wearing white shoes but I'm getting those for sure.

will cop for sure!

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

White Tiagos have even heavier templeton vibes than the other colors, if you razored the N off you’re pretty damn close... personally I keep it on for the dad vibes but I’m old!

(If NB ever make a vegan version of this shoe, I’d be happy to give them buckets of my hard earned)

Picked up 508s after work and took em right to the park. So far so good! I’m a 10 and went a half size down at 9 1/2, with even a little wiggle room left. I definitely have a wider foot. These don’t make the “wide skate shoes” thread but they’re not the worst things I’ve crammed my flippers into.

Pretty skateable straightaway. Definitely less stiff than my Tyshawns out of the gate. Good boardfeel too. One gripe maybe is one when you look in the shoe you can see the sides of the insoles like they were an afterthought, such that my foot found the edge of the insole a few times which was annoying. Only threw a few heelflips but didn’t notice any collar fraying yet. Likewise none of my other tricks have found any exposed stitching which is a plus. They seem to vent as advertised too. I had a good sesh in some warm weather and my dogs stayed relatively cool

Definitely hoping to get a lot of longevity out of these, already looking forward to another pair in this tough cupsole market

Damn. I was going to grab a 9.5 since I wear that in everything. Should I go down half a size ?

[TomMyersComedian]

very into these

I would say yes. I’m a 10 in DCs, Adidas, Nikes and eŚ. This was my first time trying on NB# but when I tried my regular size on it seemed noticeably larger and the half size down was perfect

Has anyone seen the brown Tiago's for sale in Canada, or have any idea if/when they're coming here? I got the black ones at launch and I was lukewarm on them at first, but they grew on me, and now I want more. Really have my eye on the brown ones, but I've checked a few shops and the Canadian NB site, and nobody seems to have them.

Canada has them for sure.  Centre got their order pretty late so those are just now going out to shops I'm sure.  I would keep an eye on shops receiving them and I'm sure your local up there or whatever skate web store will have them in no time.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I was getting close to paying the shipping, currency conversion, duties, etc. to get them shipped in from the US.

I would hold out.  I swear shops should have them in the next day or so.  Centre just got theirs delivered on Monday of this week.

Hey Mr. Roth will Canada get the white 440 highs the same release date as USA, or is there a bit of a delay for us up north?

Im holding out for them, it's one of the best looking shoes I've ever seen. I check daily if they're available

They're not arriving here until around 3/24.  It's in the super late arriving batch of shoes for us for Spring 21.  The turnaround for them to get those up to Centre will be a week or so, I wouldn't expect them up there honestly until the first week of April at the earliest.  But they are coming and I know a lot of shops picked those up in Canada.

Thank you for that date.  Now I can stop googling it every day myself

This has been me with a bunch of drops lately, I was checking every couple days since they started getting talked about in early February. I'm gonna be really bummed if I don't like the fit of them but I'm hoping for the best because they're so good looking.

It happened to me on that very first Arto pro model.  Was in love with that brick color way with the leather sides.  People were skating them in wear tests, etc and when they came out they were all suede.  It was such a fucking bummer

@rothdigga Please ask Westgate if his next model going to be 207?

I think he needs an 806 because it looks like BOG

Haha now that's clever! But apparently he left the bog life behind. My man is probably running skiddah these days.

Very fresh, mint on the heel is a nice touch
