NB# Numeric might have the best colorways in skateboarding.

As a newcomer to the church of NB# please make the laces longer

[topfrog10]

has anyone had good experiences skating the 440 low? I have the highs and thought the heel felt a little loose, just copped a pair of the lows and I'm actually scared to skate them because of how low cut and loose the ankle feels compared to other low shoes. Might have to swap em out.
On that note, does anyone know if the insole of the 306 changed? Some recent pics of it i've seen have the abzorb insole in them and that's what really has turned me off on the 440hi because of how thin they are. was rocking a pair of 306s in the black/gum from 2019 and the insoles on them were formed and a lot thicker than the abzorb.

Skated both and can say I like the low better. They are pretty low cut, but very stable in my experience (no heel slip, shoe felt locked in and snug). Maybe try a smaller size? The insoles in 440s must be swapped, I always put some old lunarlon insoles in mine. However right now I'm running my old NB1010 insoles in some 440 lows and that's feeling fine!

To me, low tops feel the best for flip tricks. I love my 440 his and feel really secure and confident in them doing pretty much everything but flipping my board.

I have only skated the lows and I loved them. When I was skating estrictly NB# I always went half size up, including 440, and never had an issue.

i skate 440 lows almost exclusively, each pair maybe fits a bit different depending on being suede or leather. if they are loose i put busenitz p/u insoles in and that shores them up.

ive had to do this with 1010's putting foy insoles in if they fit too big.

also i find the ankle lower on 1010's than 440s, when it comes to board taps on the ankle.

Just copped the colorful 1010s. Hoping for the best on the sizing. Run a 12 in almost everything and bought a 12 here. Trying not to size down and squeeze my feet into smaller shoes just for "boardfeel" or whatever these days so I hope they're at least close to TTS.

Personally I find they run a half size big

I have the black suede with the blue sole 1010s. They fit perfectly TTS, especially after breaking in. No heel slip at all.

Thanks @Allen. and @adambomb . I scrolled back a few pages. and saw some other posters saying sizing was either spot on or a little big. The leather and suede fit might differ slightly as well, idk. I'll give em a shot and report back

EDIT: not sure where I got them being made from leather from. looks like they're all suede.

Colourful? Which are these, did i miss a pair?

[Bubblegum Tate]

Maybe these? Only pair I can think of that’s “colorful” even tho it’s mainly black color but an icy colored sole.

@rothdigga what is the ETA for the next 420?  (been a long time gone!)

My bad! I meant these. Not actually that colorful 



And they fit! the heel lock wasn't perfect when I first put em on but after loosening them up a bit by walking around for a few hours they're fitting real good. So +1 for them fitting TTS, at least for my bird ass feet.

July 10 launch!  Flyer went out to the shops and a bunch of them should have them coming in.  Check with your local to see if they snagged some. 

[skateviewer]

This may sound strange, but anyone find the 306 sole carries so much dust onto their boards? For some reason whenever I wear the 306s (which is often, they are great) my board gets so dusty so much quicker than in other shoes.

Anyone know anything about this colorway becoming a thing? I saw this pair listed on poshmark, the listing included photos of the SAMPLE tags inside the shoe. I wonder if it was an early sample to those grey/red ones that came out a while back...

Looks like some samples that never made it out of that stage, that's my guess.  I don't remember seeing that color originally, but I see SO many shoes that sometimes I don't keep track.

I really dig it,, the black N does it for me.. Seller said they measure a US 9, bought em right away. We'll see when they get here!

On my second pair of 508's and the sole keeps sliding at the heel. Literally feel like my heel is going to fall out of the shoe every time i push. Other than that, board feel is on point for the amount of comfort, grip and durability these have. Way better for my feet. Does the 1010 have boardfeel like the 508's once broken in? I'd like to try em out.

[coneklr]

Found my old 420's today ... looking forward to more being released soon
