Sooner than later actually. It drops 1/1/19 for the Spring line.  So...only a couple more months actually.

Can someone explain how you differentiate between a NB# pro model and colorway when every shoe goes by a number? Like the 533v2 is PJs pro model, right? But his name isn’t on the shoe. Marquise was the only pro featured in ads for the 420, but it’s not his pro model.

Just PJ and Arto have a shoe - the 533 was a team model but PJ wanted it as his pro model -kinda like leo and the laced. Westgate will be the next pro model. Only way you would know is by reading the description since like you say - the name isn't on the shoe.

it's not like either. It kind of reminded me of the Nike prod 9 elite but better. Really good board feel and also really supportive. He's wearing the shoe a bunch in his element part. I feel like when it comes out a lot of people are going to be very stoked on it. PS As far as the pro model questions, Westgate's name is actually on the tongue

I posted in the New/Upcoming Shoe thread, but it probably makes more sense here. Anyone know where I can find a pair of 440s in the Tom Knox colorway in 10.5? I know i'm a little late to the party and a pretty extensive google showed no results.

@Rothdigga, do you guys restock colors like that, or was that a 1-time run?

It was a one time run and we really didn't make a ton for the US.  Made more for the UK since that's where the heavier launch was.  We have a few more left on NB.com...I know Furnace has a few left (because that's my local shop) but other than those 2, a lot of guys sold out.  I hate to send you to our company site to buy them, but I know the online guys have mostly sold out.  Well, just looked at our site and we've only got 7-8.5 left.  So unless you've got bird feet, you won't find any there.  Try Furnace online. He's got 8.5, 9, 10, 11 left if one of those work, just saw you said 10.5, so maybe the 11 will work for you.   I should have bought more of that shoe when I did the buy...I blew it.

I don’t think anything needs to be changed on the 868. Personally I think the only negative to the 868 is the price tag (~$100). But in my honest opinion they are worth every penny and can be found on sale for a decent price. They do require a bit of breaking in/getting used to especially if you skate vulc. But they hold their shape for the life of the shoe and don’t flop out. The board feel is great, remind me of dunks a bit but way better. They are also mad durable. I did take out the stock insole and swap for my Orthodics, I get shins splints with out them..in any shoe. Also Laces are positioned far enough back that I haven’t ripped any. On my second pair, which have easily another month in them and I’ve been running them 2 months at least, skating ~6-10 hours a week. I Used to skate vans religiously and I’d be lucky to get a month out of them. Now I won’t buy any other shoe as long as these are made. I got 2 more pairs waiting after these.

Thanks for the response dude! Compared to something like a gt blazer are they tighter or looser? I might try and go 10 or 11 depending on the sizing.

Just saw a pair of 574s in a Westgate colorway at my shop - Mostly black with some red accents, cranberries printed on the insole, his name on the tongue. The sole looks interesting though, not really deep grooves, looks more athletic than traditional skate.

Should probably see images of these in the next few days I would assume.

Those Westgate 574's were just a 1-time colorway that we have releasing this week...but not his pro shoe.  We made 574 pairs of those Cranberry ones just so we could sneak in a colorway of his before his shoe came out.  They're sick...and yes they have his name on the tongue.  Shops started receiving those this week, our release date is this Friday Nov 16....The Westgate pro shoe is the 913
