Wow should have got one while it was still in production. What's the next closest shoe that NB has? Or any other brand, since NB isn't as readily available in my region.
[close]

I would suggest a pair of 913s if you can find them. Tiagos seem great if you wanna go full tech cupsole. 440 if you want something lower profile
[close]

The 913 looks so good but oh so expensive, guess I'll lurk the Sales thread to score a good deal.

Are the TTS? I do 9.5 on DC shoes.

So I can’t speak to the 913 as I’ve never tried them on, but I know for the 1010’s and 440’s are TTS. I know specifically for the 868’s (possibly all NB#?) they were a .5 size small for a bit but fixed it in like 2018ish i think. For example in the Pic i posted the Maroon, blk/wht/red and navy/grey are 9’s where as the rest are 8.5 which is what size I wear. Hope that helps.

dragonflies actually represent being tiny underwater cannibals that then emerge from the depths to shed to their skin and become beautiful sky cannibals

I'm thinking of trying a pair of the 306 even though I'm really liking a cupsole at the moment. Anyone got the word on it?

Edit: found a pair of 913 going at $50, thought it would be worth a try. Thanks for the recommendation!

Bought a pair to try the fit, a little narrow on the front but nothing that would kill my feet. It did feel incredibly stiff but it had a nice slim profile. The current DCs I'm on are way too puffy coming from a vulc, my flips are completely off.

Liked the shoe so much I stocked on 2 more just in case. $50 a pair ain't too bad.

I skated a couple pairs of those last year, still have a pair on ice. Great shoe, the stiffness should go away after a couple of sessions. Where did you find them for $50?

NB's online store in Asia, probably a flash sale over the weekend.

There are sellers doing the 306 for $20, shipped from Indonesia. Either these failed QC or guys are sneaking them out the back door and selling them online. Or Fakes.

Is @mini greek our new NB#/slap liaison?

moonordie · « **Reply #2899 on:** February 21, 2021, 05:53:52 AM »

@mini greek is the man, because of him I skated only NB# for like 1 year before moving to a place where you can't find them. Luckily this is going to change.

Yeah, he designs the NB# shoes. Much more knowledgeable than I’ll ever be in footwear realm.

Love the 212 and 213. What does 'Animal friendly dual layer' mean? Are the reinforced ollie areas a vegan alternative?

Referring to synthetic suede on that ollie panel patch. Those 212/213's are canvas all around usually with a suede patch right there plus a leather heel tab. For the Samarria colorway we did it with all synthetics to go with the canvas, making it an easy transition to being vegan friendly.
