You tried the 440 or 913?[close]I meant the 913 and 440 had sort of a squared off toe, whereas the 306 is smoothly tapered all around. anyway the 288s is, for me the best so far from nb. only shoe from them I've been able to skate decently well right from the first session. Think I could get down with this one long term, finally. well done lads

orange bearing bad
Just got some 440s and they fit really good. Nice and snug to the foot. For a low cut shoe on the narrow-ish side, I'm surprised by how stable they feel. Wasn't sure if I was gonna skate them but quite tempted now.
How are the 213? They Look good.. are they super thin?being eye off a black pair.. I skate cupsoles usually wondering if it's going to be a mistakeAnd my feet will hate me

I have no idea how their sizing is though. I'm between a 10-10.5 with slightly wide feet.

james brown on the set ups? luv the 212.was thinking about the awesome potential and utter failure of the 598's. would like to see a reboot on a 420ish sole which would make it even truer to the 998, suede on that sole not 3 flicks=done/never gets supple synthetic might be sweet. and maybe not running a full two sizes too small as well.

I rolled my ankle super bad and am looking for a cupsole high top for when I come back, and the options right now are so slim. It's basically Blazers, Dunks, Adidas Shell Toes, and the new Vans Crocket. Seems wild there aren't more.

while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

If you're very used to cupsoles, this isn't going to give you a lot of cushion compared to a cup...that's just the reality of vulc vs cup. I like thinner shoes and will switch back and forth between vulcs (Foy's sometimes) and cups (288s and 440's are my go to). We do have a cupsole hi-top coming down the road later this year but not til the Holiday season.

I really liked thisIt was nice they put a cupsole on that normally vulc (I think) shoe for that one colorway. Trahan deserves a pro shoe.

I might be in the minority here but I really like the 255. I wish they would bring back the Black/gum color way
