How's the grip on the bottom? I like a very grippy shoe and NB cup soles haven't always scratched that itch.
Update after 4 hours of skating. I love the shoe, I'll probably get another pair in this color. They are as different as night and day compared to the
Slap eBay edition 440. These felt broken in right out of the box, the sole seems more flexible by comparison. Part of it has to be that the high top version is inherently roomier, but there are other differences too.
I don't think they're
particularly grippy, but they're how I like shoes to be. They're not like a new pair of Vans, where the board almost gets stuck to your front foot on a kickflip or something, so take that as you will.
p.s. sorry if the images I post appear too large?
