Foy slip

Just wondering, you're the one running that insta?

[WideFeet]

Looks like he's wearing the All Coasts slip on because there's a (what looks like) a heel tab in the back that's on the non-numeric one. Franky also wore slip ons like these over a year ago. Can anyone confirm if there is an actual NM# slip coming?

Doesn't seem like Foy to skate in slip ons lol

Pretty sure I’ve seen Foy wear the Boo Johnson Slip-Ons when he was on Diamond. I love slip-ons, so I would be stoked for these if they come out

Oh? Maybe I never noticed that because I thought he only skated that Icon shoe and that mid top/DW collab one he came out with.
Diamond footwear for skating was such a mistake...
I'm stoked he found a home with NB, though! I was hoping he would stay on Nike when I saw him coming up because he made me want to skate em haha!

[SteveStuart]

looks like a BW colorway coming...

here. we. go.

Anyone else find the 288's wore down way too soon? It's like in order for the shoe to be more flexible out of the box the rubber was softer? Before they even developed ollie holes the seams around the laces blew out after a week, and I've had to change laces after EVERY session.  Not sure what to think, but for a $95 dollar shoe kinda ridiculous that it develops holes after a couple weeks. Back to shitty team classics I guess

Aren't they out already or is that "available in august" typo?

[Atiba Applebum]

Would like the toe mesh panel to match the tongue mesh color and the black to be navy blue or another dark blue shade, but that’s just nitpicking...

I’m just still hurt that NB secretly changed the materials on the launch Arto

[cricketclub]

If that shoe ever gets a leather or suede vamp (perforations would be tight) it’s gettin got with the quickness

Official launch month is August. Originally set for July but postponed one month due to the pandemic.

One of my local shops already has them on shelf and online for sale, both black and white colorways. DM'd that Instagram account (like a man) and they responded that they heard couple shops around the world already sells them.

Nothing new about shops selling them before the release date. August is just the official date/month for NB# to sell them online and for others retailers as well. I don’t know how strict NB# is for shops to sell them early.

Example, some shops have been selling the new Nyjah 2.0 shoe for a couple weeks now but Nike won’t sell them until July 1st.

Okay, this was first one for me

[SteveStuart]

Ok I don't believe this is true.... they are selling the 1010 in June? when the release is not until august...

what is the shop?

Shop is called Union Five in Finland, seen them on the shelf myself.

Original month was supposed to be July, so they probably sold it in June which is one month earlier than the pre-COVID-19 drop month.

It wasn’t that long ago that NB# announced the official month of released pushed to August.

[SteveStuart]

That's wild...

If a random shop in Finland has stock then the delay does not make sense to me.

I thought it was because shops wouldn't receive shoes until August due to production delays

weird

also do they ship internationally!? heh

[Toadfish Rebecchi]

It’s interesting to note that the 1010s on that Finnish skate site don’t have Tiago’s name on the tongue (or anywhere else on the shoe), on either colourway.

[SteveStuart]

ya thats strange...

I found another random shop with the 1010's same thing, no Tiago on shoe

I remember that was the first shoe NB# he was skating in, at least on IG.

As much as I like these and Jordan Taylor I can't bring myself to drop 80 on thin vulcs, leather or not. Maybe if they have another 30% off site wide.

[moonordie]

Those 255 are son damn nice, just the sole color bothers the shit outta of me

Just some quick clarity on the 1010's for you guys-
The launch of this shoe is in Aug.  Our US order got delayed from the factory so we don't even have them here in the US warehouse just yet, but surprisingly the Europe order was on time and delivered there.  So they ended up getting them in their zone and shipping out on accident before the launch...nothing sinister or anything other than a mixup. 
As for the images showing up without Tiago's name, that's just someone pulling from old sample imagery that was before the shoe was finished.  I know some of you are super hyped on this shoe so thanks for the patience!!! 

[saltusnaut]

The 1010 are in swedish shops now. My feet are tempted
