One post in and he's threatening pro skaters with violence over their shitty bands. Best first post ever?

Feels like I read those type of comments from tws for fucking ever. (Whew).But yeah, it’s like the shoe already sucks when they ‘blah blah blah fresh outta the box’.I dunno what changed, but I get heel bruises less often, and forefoot pain always. For that reason only the 868 was, although still great, not the end of my quest. The ave shoe is kinda like this as well, super stable, skates great, but I’m def getting hot soles from my feet slapping the ground. I’m closer to 50, than ya’ll, and feel like Air Force 1s would be a reasonable option (they aren’t really, I’ve tried, I’m just saying I’ll try stilts or bricks or whatever the fuck).After forefoot pain there’s a bunch of other joint pain. Biggest obstacle to me skating regularly. I’ve tried some ‘out of the box....’ ideas: Harden’s first shoe. Af-1s, several times, and looked at tons of other sports shoes. I’m sure I’m a small part of the skate purchasing world (super old person), but as more of us try and skate into the 50s (and beyond I hope, like at least roll push, maybe ollie a curb) some solutions would be nice. Not the right thread, at all, and I’m sorry for that and this nonsense, but I’m definitely down for weird ideas. The Lebron soldiers looked ....not really skateable. But close. Maybe Jordan 11 low. But Jesus. Anyways.Nb has made some really well crafted shoes. Some high quality materials. It’ll be cool to see where they take it.[close]I mean, I am 44 and the 440 is probably my go to at this point. I'd love to try the 913, so if NB wants to send me a box, we can talk. But I'm a mostly low impact (occasionally jumping down some stairs) guy and this shoe is ticking a lot of boxes for me.

Tate is one of the best posters that's not me
that SHOE would LOOK good AS a HIGH TOP
What shoe is this?
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Yeah I’d launch into an argument trying to defend and then he’d just grunt: ‘trumps’. Tate: have you tried the 913s? I seem to remember you liking the pj shoe, which I also liked.

I think my last pair left. Going to end up skating the 913 to see if I like them. They seemed more flexible out the box than the 533. Those needed some serious break-in time.

Just had my first sessions in the 306 and I’m pleasantly surprised by the break in time. Felt great after an hour and although the insole isn’t super thick i felt better than the same session on the aves. Pretty stoked I grabbed them
I’m a ~12.5 TTS and wear a 12 in blazer gt lows, and a 13 in the 913 i thought the toebox was pretty roomy, not just length but also height. Not sure if they’d break in and get better but doubtful. Still a super clean shoe and felt great upon try on.

Numeric suggests the 913 if you want something similar. It's frustrating because I keep seeing Numeric team riders skating pairs. I feel like hype on that model is picking up just as it went away. I never personally tried it. I heard you should get a 1/2 size up if you find a pair.

D3s and mongo? It's over.

There is a bit more room in the toebox in the 913 although I’d be hesitant to size down. I’d also be wary of sizing up on the 868. Have not broken in either and the suede may stretch more on the 913 than the synthetic in the 868 - we’ll see. FWIW, I did need to go a half size down on the 420 because the 11 was huge.
