Touchdown imminent

i have no clue if i will like the fit of these or not but i am going to cop regardless when possible, those white ones are so fresh. i would love some input on the fit of the 440 highs compared to the 440 low.
[close]

I’ve posted several times detailing the fit. If you wanna check my post history.
i've seen your posts before they're what are leaning me towards the cop. can you tell me whether the shoes have the inner ankle padding that the 440 lows do? i can't stand those on any shoes and i've noticed them being in a lot more shoes lately.

My 440 lows are packed away right now so I can’t cross reference. There’s barely any padding, but there is a little bit. If you’re comparing it to a chuck taylor high or the AA authentic vans hi then expect more padding. But I wanna say it’s a little less than a converse fast break. A difference to note is that the 440s are a true high top, not a mid top, so they won’t dig into your ankles. Alright, unless NB is gonna send me a gift card or something I’m done reviewing them! Good luck in your quest!

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.

Anyone have a recommendation for a NB first-timer? Liking the DC Kalis SE and the Vulc model, does NB have anything that combines the cushion of a cupsole with the grip of vulc?

White/green/gum is maybe my favorite color for a shoe, period. Those are beautiful.

440 lows or 306, not too thin of a vulc with a great insole.

@rothdigga when those vegan joints dropping son? Can we get anymore hints, or is it still hush hush?

Not really secret now that we have an ad in Thrasher for it.  213 Samarria Colorway with synthetic suede side panel and the rest canvas.  It's slated to arrive around mid-march barring anymore port delays so shops should be getting it around then.  That's the first shoe.  We have the other 2 coming around April/May so a decent selection of cup/vulc vegan options in the next few months for anyone looking for them.

440 is the answer you're looking for good sir.

i'd say so too....really good shoe since it is cup and has a decent amount of support BUT really good board feel too! might take you a sesh or two to get used to em but then you'll be good... just gave a skated pair to a friend that usually skates vulc vans pro mostly and he loved them!

love the classic look too

440s are good like everyone says. But they're probably not like the DC Kalises. The toe is a bit more square, and for me they were surprisingly stiff out the box, took a while to break in but were great after they finally broke in.

I'd suggest 913 if you want cushion. Again I've never skated DCs so have no idea how they compare. 913s have less boardfeel than a fully broken in 440 (though still plenty sufficient imo), but definitely a bit more cushion and they're not as low cut and seem to have a more similar for factor to DC kalises. I have a few small nits to pick about the 913s but overall they're a great cupsole shoe that'll be good for your feet.

Yo, good looks I thought the well had dried up on these! Can't pass that up, even if it means paying the mall store. Keeping these on ice till fall...

I still have a chunk of change ready for those 1010's too, thanks to the sale.

Thank you! These are the first pair of shoes that I've gone out and bought a second pair of immediately after skating them for a bit. Easily my favorite new model that I've skated in years.

The green hits is a nice touch. Especially on the sole. Can’t wait to grab a pair.
