that SHOE would LOOK good AS a HIGH TOP

It just looks way better as a low-top & probably sells way better that way too.

[rlang]

Lets get a sneak of the 1010. I'm breaking in my last 868s right now.

What shoe is this?

913

[Ok]

Just checking in for the 1010 pics.
Should probably get the westgate, he the best.
My bro calls em ‘trumps’ whenever I wear em.

funny you say that the MIUSA 990v4 I wore is crazy comfy and people for sure associated NB ceo or whoever bring a trump supporter- my bro and friend said the same thing.

Breaking in my 913s now and I love them. Been skating Busenitzs for a while but really just need more support. The more I wear them the better I think they look.

Unfortunately, I don’t have pics of them. But I think two colors at launch. Black/Gum and white/blue/yellow.

Haha. 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.

[Second Division]

Skating the 913s right now, and it's probably my favorite shoe that I've had in a long time. Doesn't blow out, keeps it's shape, and is super comfy/durable (I had the 440's before this, which I liked, but those blew out on me).

Just laced up a pair in navy/grey/red. I walked around in break them. Going to skate in them soon enough.

Skating a 533 v2 now. 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.

[Esmith5488]

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

good comparison - interested to hear more about the differences as you continue to break in

What shoe is this?

Why that is the much loved and beautiful 868 which has been discontinued. 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.

[Frank]

tbh i could have gone a full size up in mine, usually wear 8.5, had a 9, was still too tight.

sry to anyone looking for a 9, i already got rid of the shoe a while ago.

[jay_nev]

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.

[A HOMOSEXUAL PERSON]

Heyy anyone tried to remove the logo from the side of their shoes?

These look like they could come off easily if there's no glue under it

Would’ve maybe gone TTS in the 913, I went with my usual size and they got juuuust right

[jay_nev]

Yeah I’m gonna try 12 moving forward.

Got a $20 reward expiring 3/3/20 on NB dot com so I gotta pull on something.

I’ve got the 868 and the 913 in the same size (11). 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.

For 868’s sizing depends on the colorway/when it dropped. They ran 1/2 size small up until beginning of 2018 I believe? I have a whole stash of them think I’m up to 10 or 11 pairs now. Wish it didn’t get discontinued I see a lot of the riders rocking it. It’s my favorite shoe hands down. Anyone who’s looking check eBay there’s a few for a decent price, some for regular retail but none in my size unfortunately.

Just recently I met someone who can get me all numeric's for almost half off. So I bought a pair of 212s which I love the way they look but I couldn't possibly skate in because there is no arch support. Is there any models you guys like that have good arch support right out of the box? I dont really want to go down the aftermarket insole road.

[Fred Gerwer Frank Gall]

I know you just said you don't want aftermarket insoles but I find the remind medics work great in 212s and 213s. And they will last several pairs of shoes at least.

Hmmm My concern is that in the past I have had insoles that push my heel up too far.I dont remember the brand I but used but I was disappointed to say the least.If these give mid sole support but dont raise the heel then that might be my solution.

[jay_nev]

can you expand upon the remind medics? Very interested. Not really wanting to go the footprint route.

[Fred Gerwer Frank Gall]

Sure. Not everyone's bag but they are stiff and cradle your heel nicely while providing perfect arch support for my feet (I have medium high arches) I like them in vulcs as they add more support, security and impact absorption. My foot just feels safer... def take away some board feel but being 44 and breaking toes... they keep me going into a session a lot longer. They are $45 new but I've had three sets I've found on sale for half that and each pair has lasted me over a year.

I was not a fan of the footprints I had.
