Yeah, the Holiday 288s both have a more "soccer style" stitched toe.  The black is a leather model and the white is suede.

Has the 440 fit changed at all? A 10 in Tiagos fit me perfectly. Should I do a 10 or 10.5 in 440’s?

I am a bit dissapointed since I just got mine that I asked about a page back and they are 8.5 but fit me at least half a size too big (compared to Vans, Nike...). I really hope I can send them back because they were on sale. Other than that they are top notch to me and if I can send them back I´ll get another pair for sure!

440's are basically TTS for me. so are busenitz pros and vulcs, as well as dunks, if that helps. they are slightly snug for the first couple of sessions/walk arounds, but are perfect after the short break in period.

Started skating Tiagos this week to try and move away from Dunks and so far I'm really into them. Great right out of the box. That Circa colorway is really fucking nice. Gonna have to grab them next.

I love this wheat colorway. I have no info on them, but Tiago looks great in them.

[Bubblegum Tate]

I remember skating in a 533 wheat with a black sole but I think they were samples only. The released version had a gum sole.

Can’t go wrong with a wheat/black colorway.

[uesty]

im pretty sure the wheat tiagos drop same time as the white/green 440 his, so sometime this spring?

On-feet. Soccer boot stitching is a nice touch.

Got drunk and order the Tiagos in white yesterday. Definitely out of comfort zone.

Jack Curtin wore the wheat/black 533s in the rough cut of his Aunt Tammy part. Sick ass outfit, black hat, black Thrasher x The Mountain 13 Wolves hoodie, black camo LRG pants and those shoes. He was trying a switch kf bs wallride but actually pulled it in a different fit

HOLY FUCK those are sick. I loved the v1's. What size are they? Would you be willing to part with a pair?

These colorways were a throwback to the Airwalk brown/black sole that Jovantae rocked on the Thrasher cover back in 1992.

How's the fit on the 379 Mids? I wear an 11.5 in the 212s and 213s. I have wide feet and they are slightly snug but once broken in are great. Just curious if the 379s are roomy enough or if I should size up to a 12 like I do for most Vans....

Actually, they are a throwback to these shoes Keenan is wearing in this Blind ad.

I don't know, i'd say this is the more iconic photo

If you're wearing an 11.5 in the 212's and 213's (those are our only styles with different sizing), I would get a size 12 in almost all of our other shoes, including the 379's.  Hope that helps.

[Frank and Fred]

It sure does. Thanks!

And I think Rothdigga of all people would know.  The Tiagos are prob a reference to the blind ad

They are 9.5 and sorry, can't spare a pair. And obviously I have no idea what size you are, but there's a 12.5 on eBay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NW0T-New-Balance-Numeric-PJ-Stratford-533-Skate-Shoes-MAPLE-Mens-12-5-D-13-D/132048549759?hash=item1ebeb4f77f:g:wLsAAOSwUKxYZXUr
