The stratford 533 was easily the best shoe i had last year... to bad they're so damn expensive

Check eBay. I find them there regularly for around 60 bucks.

Fit on the Quincy? Compared to say, a vans pro?

I'm not sure why this shoe never came out in mass numbers, imo one of the best looking skate shoes to ever come out ( looking, haven't skated it so I can't speak to performance )

Ah, the old bait & switch. Order some expensive tech gadgets, get sent a maroon shoe instead.

Are those waxed laces?

I do not, only NB# I have left is the pair I am skating now and a Burgundy 533.

Hope to get more models soon. I usually just give out my skated pairs after.

They are thin and flat but don't feel/look waxed in person but not like a normal lace either

Yes... They sent me one pair, a full size larger than what I listed my size as, and completely different than the shoes I normally skate. Gross colorway too. It sucks because I was actually looking forward to reviewing them, but its hard to skate a shoe that much too big. So I was over it. I am hoping they send me another pair to weartest, hopefully in my actual size this time. The quality of the shoe seemed great for the skating I did do in them.

How long did they take to get back at you after you applied?

How do the logan 637 skate, and how do they take impact?

frontsideindy · « **Reply #54 on:** February 05, 2016, 02:47:10 AM »

they produce the 576 and the 670 in UK and prices starts at 125€ - its quit a lot
but i would pay that for a shoe made in UK under fair conditions.

the weak point is the whole skate line isn't distributed in europe - only in UK.
Visited Slam City once the only shop in London who sell the Numeric line - and he
had just 1 pair in my size.

so nearly impossible to get that shoes if you are from the EU.
strange to me - because NB is everywhere - they run Flagshipstores in Berlin,
but no Numeric.

THIS! Fuck, i want to be able to actually try their stuff. Adidas too, i only find a few selected models at adidas flagship stores, never seen a pair of Adidas Skate in a skateshop in PT.

good if you've got a wide foot, and the upper lasts an insanely long time. besides that they skate like most other vulcs

trying a pair of the 868 and I have to say the build quality looks really nice. haven't gotten to skate them yet since it just snowed here

but ill report back once i do

They look like a cupsole but are actually a vulc. Durability must be really good on em, aside from lace protection
