Potential first time buyer. I’m eying the 1010 and 808, but I have no idea what size to buy. I think years ago I fit a 10.5, and would likely be ok on 10.5, but my left foot is odd and wide just past mid foot.

I really don’t know what to do here.
Do you get deja vu, huh?

440 Insole swap recommendations:

Emerica G6 insole (arch support. Could be too thick but wasn't too thick for me when I tried them)

Etnies STI (could be too thick but good cushion)

Es Energy Foam+ (similar to the above two but is firmer)

Nike Zoom Air (not as soft as others I recommended but still better than stock 440)

State Footwear (could be a bit too thick & squishy but can work)

Lakai DeluxLite (or whatever it's called. These aren't too thick)

Any 3 or 5mm FP insole should work
[close]

Yo, thanks for that. I will look at my parents place what's laying around there. I mostly had good experiences with the Lakai insoles. I don't like insoles with arch support.

And by the way, my girl saw your signature the other day and she had to laugh. I love it when she laughs. Thanks.

Stoked on the sig getting a laugh!!!  ;D

^ Yup! I was watching Stranger Things and other similar horror/comedy type shows late last year around Halloween and that scene from  Fear Street got a good laugh out of me!

Ight Rothdigga since it’s official now, can you leak the Reynolds pro model info. We talking before the end of 2023?  Is it cool looking?

I’m sure he’s not getting a shoe, just colorways. That’s kinda wrong to pass over dudes like Jordan or Tom Knox that deserve a shoe more based on the work already put in for said brand…especially those two in particular.

While I think him getting a shoe isnt guaranteed bigger names joining a company and getting shoes before others who have been there longer is pretty common. P rod did it on Nike followed by koston. Foy and Tiago on nb too

2 models, no less

Considering that pro models haven't been going to those who "deserve them" for years now, I wouldn't be surprised if Reynolds got multiple and those two never got one. I know it's a weird proxy for marketability but Reynolds has almost the same # of ig followers as Tiago and Foy combined, and over 10x as many as Jordan Taylor and Tom Knox.

Yeah but I feel like with Reynolds obsession/ enthusiasm for shoe design/ cupsole I could see them making a model that was perhaps helped designed by him or something. Something between a pro model and a color way? Idk maybe I’m reaching

Yah I love Tom Knox and like a lot of the NB team, but there is no way you can put anyone on that team aside from Tiago on Reynolds' legend level. I just watched The End last week. You think you're going to watch a 25 year old Jordan Taylor part? Tom K and the WKND videos are funny, but will you remember them as much as you did Baker 2G?

Jordan Trahan had a colorway of a thin basic vulc shoe beefed up with a cupsole years back so I could see something like this happening. Maybe something like the 440 but with a full length foam midsole like he wants

FULL DISCLOSURE: I’ve never seen Baker 2g…or anything baker related except baker 3. During the Hammer era I was still stuck on mouse and trilogy. It’s probably that I can identify with these guys more than those guy’s situation.

"They’re also working on a video with Jamie Foy, Tiago and Brandon Westgate and I really want to have some clips in that."

That's a sick line up!!

Received a pair of the 440s via early Xmas gift. Appreciate the help with sizing and if they would fit wider feet. Having them on foot, I must say, they feel snug but not too tight. Heel support feels great but shoe still has a great flexibility to them. I can certainly see why so many people are fans of this model.

Vegan 440's and another model won't hit until July 2023...should be worth the wait.  I'm planning on keeping those in the line once they hit as a carryover model so they should be readily available as a vegan option (one cup one vulc) for those that need them.  That's the goal on them.

@rothdigga just curious if there was a timeline you could divulge on any vegan options in the pipeline? maybe more 420s or i think it was 440s that were mentioned back in september?

Next batch won't sadly be until Summer 2023 for us.  Vegan 440 (it's a low) will be out around the same time as the next 420 colorway.
