New Balance # containment thread

[bbk]

I can't wait to get my hands on that shoe.

Seriously, they look so good, I need them! I have around 80 pairs of shoes, so I most definitely do not need them, but I need them.

[gaunting]

anyone know if the pro court 212 fits true to size? I really want those all white ones with the green N, but don’t wanna pull the trigger and order the wrong size.

[Turtle Boy]

If the price is right, and I can find those in Europe (good NB# colorways in europe are kinda hard to find), I will buy full price the Grey/Green ones

For Fall 2020 we have something in the mix that might interest you.  Once we have samples and show the line that I can share I'll keep you in the loop.

The 212 is our main shoe that fits off.  It's 1/2 size too big, so I normally wear an 11.5 in everything we make but I wear an 11 for the 212/213....just so you're aware.  Get a 1/2 size down on it and you should be good. 
Those 212TYO white/green Tokyo ones are so good.

Too funny. I bought my first pair of 212s last week and immediately exchanged them for a half-size smaller. Great shoe though!

[kneebone]

hot damn, please make that 288 in a synthetic version

Ordering the same as soon as that pay check hits the bank.

My first version 533's. Anybody else still got a pair of the original design? Love this shoe fits like a glove and the sole is stiff but responsive and pliable. Good ratio of feel to support. Sad to see the 533v2 getting phased out of the line



Colors are Glacier Grey/Gargoyle (not a Chad Fernandez colorway as far as I know)

yes i have an unworn grey/gum pair that i look at once in a while.  always thought switching to the multi panel upper in the v2 was a design misstep.  they never grew on me like the v1's which i loved.

[Big Baby Jesus]

Both of those colorways are en fuego. Will cop one of them.

[jay_nev]

Nice run through of the tech

First NB shoe i'd consider getting. They look really good. I just can't stand that huge N. Anyone know if it's easy to tear off? Seriously, I only like to skate shoes without big nasty logos.

[Bubblegum Tate]

[jay_nev]

Like the black/gums because the N logo is a bit more tonal. Don't need to see it in such high contrast on every other pair. The silhouettes are great, it just overwhelms.

Hey Roth - is the 574 actually numeric, or just a skateable shoe that the numeric team designed?

Either way, I like the Topo one. It looks v nice.

It's in something like their 'All Coasts' line, but gets lumped in with Numeric I believe. I know Rothdigga explained it previously. I've also wanted to pick a pair up.
I do see Julian Davidson skating them regularly though. Franky also has some clips in them.

Quick explanation is- All Coasts is not made specifically for skating but are designed out of our office here in Long Beach.  The All Coasts line (product prefix always has AM instead of NM IE...AM574 or NM306) are have a skate inspired look to them but aren't "performance" shoes like the Numeric ones are.  We use much more canvas, a little thinner suedes, more mesh etc. and are doing things like the Topo colab.  They're branded New Balance as opposed to Numeric.  Doesn't mean you can't skate them, some people like a much thinner shoe, they just won't hold up the same way.
Hope that makes sense!

My shop doesn't carry NB's. If I were to order some 212's should I get them a 1/2 size down from my Dunk/ Nike size? I wear 11's in dunks and all my chillers but I wouldn't be surprised if these fit roomier.

Edit: I bothered to look a mere one page back and got my answer. They run 1/2 big so if I try these I will try a 10.5 instead of 11.

[Smartass]

Hey Roth,
Is there a sizing difference between the 288 and the new 288s?

[Bubblegum Tate]

Thanks NB# for the 288’s

[kneebone]

those 288s are so sick, like a modern KCK
