Any word on when the tan/black 1010s come out?

Should be in shops later this month or very early Feb at the latest.  Our Spring 2021 stuff is a little delayed but that one is coming later in Jan.

One is hitting in March and we should have a new 420 coming soon as well but the March one is the soonest vegan one for us.

I lost hope regarding having again NB# in Chile </3

Odds on the March model being a canvas slip-on or lifestyle/chiller?  I'll say 5:1

I'll take that bet from you and bet otherwise.  Not a slip on...not a chiller...

Flo Mirtain has an ad in the new Thrasher for a New Balance shoe called the 22. Its a pretty simple vulc, like a 255 meets a gazelle. Black on black with a white N

Yeah it looks very similar to this, but has an extra vulc strip on the toe for wear and tear. It may also be made of a synthetic material, but I couldnt really tell in the print ad if it was synthetic or suede

If lower number = more simple shoe, this will be NB# most simple vulc shoe yet

If this is the vegan option that rothdigga is noting upthread, then

Agreed, i think there's a strong possibility it's the vegan model. Synthetic material can be a lot pricier so makes sense they would use it on a simple shoe to keep pricing consistent than going straight for the 1010 and making the shoe $200

Hopefully they come out with the white 440 highs

[Acky Jacky]

These are going strong after about 2 months. I might have to put some stronger insoles in them because they’re starting to feel a little packed out.

you do many heelflips? I started doing them way more this year and had to switch from the normal 440s because the middle/back mesh would just tear up right away. Not sure if that materials different on the hi top

I do a fair amount but definitely way more kickflips. I might have a bit of an unusual heel flip too. I think where the N was took a lot of the brunt. I can’t imagine this is any more durable than a low top 440 though, you might have a gnarly heel flip.

highly recommend supergluing the stitching in high wear areas before you skate them. makes them last forever.

I know I kinda blew it. I shoe goo’d them after a few skates but the shoe goo I have has became too thick and doesn’t dry as hard anymore...hard to explain but it sucks. Then I was too lazy to get more glue. I like turtles.

I recommend using whatever is in that Crunch Vlasic Pickle Jar there on them.  I bet that will give them another month at minimum!

Thai jasmine rice, it will provide slow digesting carbs to keep me going.

Gorilla glue makes a bottle with a lil brush that's perfect for this These things passed the durability test imo of that is 2 months in. I'm hoping to put a hole in the sole before the leather!

Man we will see the sole is holding up pretty well the tread is just barely wearing out by the ball of my foot. Also took a page out of your book and stuck some insoles in from my Fastbreaks (Converse), so far, increased comfort.

How's the width with the 379's? I have a wide foot

[Ol Nick]

How's the width with the 379's? I have a wide foot

I’ve been in a pair of 379 mids recently and they fit my wide feet perfectly. My true size is probably 12.5 but I typically have to just get 13 and deal with a little bit of extra length in order not to feel cramped due to the width or just because a 12.5 isn’t available. These in 13 fit just right though. They’re like if someone corrected everything I dislike about Vans’ fit.

I was holding out for the 440hi to go on sale but now it's just not even anywhere in my size. When does the next colorway come out?

[Esmith5488]

I've come to be a pretty diehard NB fan when it comes to skate shoes. I need a replacement insole though, the stock ones in the 306s are murdering my feet. Anyone have a rec for insoles that fit well specifically in New Balances? I'm thinking about FP Gamechangers but idk how they fit and I don't wanna be out that much cash if they're a bust in the New Balances

I did the footprint medics in my 306’s and they were great and fit perfect. Put them in the 913’s and hated it. If your going to only skate the foys I say go for it

There's a white leather with green trim coming out next month or March. Jack Curtain previewed them a few months back on his Instagram.

Stoked to hear that, anyone have an image? I'd buy the 440 high again and again as long as NB comes with that buttery full grain and tough-yet-flexible mesh upper again.
