New Balance # containment thread

[Coastal Fever]

Damn I’d love a pair of 1010s.  But I haven’t paid $150cdn for sneakers since I spent my whole grocery store paycheck on D3s back in 2002.

[hotdogsweatpants]

Need those grey 306s.

Shops here in the UK keep restocking the black/gum 306, but all I want is a restock of these:



Rothdigga, will it ever happen?!

I don't currently have a re-stock of that particular 306 coming for the UK sadly for you.  If you can find them to ship overseas I would grab them but they're not currently in the carryover plan to be re-made again.  Sorry! 

FYI...Canada Grey Day shoes are stuck in port so those will be available up there in June at shops.

Stopped by my local yesterday to grab a sci-fi hat and got to talking with the owner about some New Balance stuff, the upcoming 808 and the new 1010 colorways. I started talking about how they don't carry 1010s in an 11.5 and how I felt bad having to buy them from Parade. He said he's gonna order one of each of the new 1010 colorways in an 11.5 for me. I'm stoked!

I believe this is a case of saturation and lighting being deceptive.  Like the blue vs black vs gold dress debate online a few years back.  They’re the same as ours but just taken with natural light so the heel and TPU layer look darker than the photos we posted.

lol no special info, just that he thinks they look dope too

[Bubblegum Tate]

Definitely these more than last years.

i just realized, are these coming with flat laces instead of the 1010's usual round ones? they usually come with 2 pair so i wonder if it'll have round grey and flat white, not that it matters at the end of the day.

Are you from Chattanooga? Looks like comfort skate shop. I'm out in Memphis and I've stopped in a few times since my parents recently moved out there. Cool shop and nice locals.

yours come with two sets of laces? 4 pairs and i've never gotten any extras

[actionhack]

The Beef and Broccoli and last years Grey Day were the only ones to come with 2 pairs of laces. Not sure if that new Grey Day does.

does anyone know if we will be getting these in canada? Im assuming these are new because we still haven't got the Olive / Camo / Orange colourway here either as far as I can tell.

[close]

Those are for sure coming to Canada. The ports up there are even worse than the US right now.  I’m showing June delivery of these up there.

gah i should have checked back here. i already copped a pair from italy and paid probably a bit too mcuh for them. i think i will want a second pair though, i really love this colourway

also - re: the cream sole. it is definitely more off-white than the prior grey day that was absolutely a bright-white. overall the shoe's grey is a darker shade than the previous year. anyway, i'll stop picking these apart detail by detail, gorgeous shoes.

Thanks for clarifying. I’m currently skating last years 1010 and the pics of the new ones look different beyond the tongue and toe panel. Now I can justifiably buy these ones too.

[rawbertson.]

Has anyone tried the 272s? Was wondering if they are just like a budget version of the 306 or do they feel completely different?



The sole looks identical so i think it would have similar dimensions. The main difference I notice is the material looks maybe a bit more like canvas so less durable, and also it doesnt have that little pocket that goes around the laces to compensate for the scrunch where your bend your toes.

Completely different shoe with a very different sole.

[rawbertson.]

yeah i guess they do look prettydifferent. i remember there being a circle underneath my first pair of foys, did that change?

Stoked on this colorway, going to hit the local on the way home to try them on since I’ve heard so much different stuff about sizing

Finally going to try some NBs that aren't 212s. Got some 440s from Orchard on the way. Less than $54 shipped. Stoked.
