Man! Those wheats look nice!


Edit: Anyone know where I can get them from a real shop? My local (Black Sheep) is out in my size (8.5)

I got mine here. Jump quick 8.5 are still in stock.

I’m pretty sure they just put these up on their site today.

Thanks for the links, went ahead and ordered a pair from exodus. I just noticed in your photo, they are all suede on the toe instead of the mesh. I like that

[topfrog10]

After a few days of concern whether or not my 440 Hi would stretch enough in the toe, I put them on this morning and haven't taken them off all day. Been wearing them around the house and shit, I'm half Japanese and this is all sorts of unacceptable. They just feel too good.

I wore them walking around here and there for weeks and they felt great, just normal new cupsole stiffness. When I recently started skating in them I started to have doubts as to whether or not they would work for me. They felt stiffer than I thought they should and my toes were feeling so cramped. I had gotten so used to Legacy Slims which have an almost bulbous toe, super roomy. I put in one more good session and now they feel right. I'm stoked they worked out.

would you say you have a wide foot? specifically in regards to the toe half of your foot?

The suede is also super nice. Buttery smooth!

A little bit yes. I have such skinny ankles that I never thought my foot was wide, but I’m finding that my foot probably is a little wide up front, in a pointy and boney kind of way.

my local just got the tiagos and a new 574 colorway i havent seen before

Quick question on the 1010 sizing. Would y'all say they are true to size or go down half a size I wear size 11 in dunks and blazers if that helps

Not a core Skateshop but daddies has those brown tiagos for 20% off

Emailed New Balance NZ to see when they're getting the brown/green 1010 and was told they're not coming into the country. Tempted to tell them to give me a job because they're fucking up. First drop they only ordered the black and not the white/blue/yellow, and this year they're only getting the white/gum. When the DC x Bronze Lukoda dropped, the brown/green sold out INSTANTLY. These out of touch middle aged yuppies in their fitted Levi's and nb327's need to pay attention or pay someone who does. I'm big mad.

Sending you a DM.  I got you (not on the job though...just the shoe).

[WinterWarlock]

Anybody notice the toebox is slightly more narrow on the 379 mid compared to the standard 379? My wide feet were doing pretty good with the 379, but I'm finding that isn't the case with the 379 mid. Maybe it's just variation in manufacturing.

Honestly. @rothdigga here for the people

Is there a release date for the green and white 440hi?

[close]

Yeah, it should be released now, we just experienced some shipping delays because of Covid. This season is starting to hit shops and the NB site over the next week.

@rothdigga any update on the release date for these kicks? I was hoping these would come out in conjunction with the 508s but it seems like no one has them yet. I am so ready to throw my money at whoever puts them up for sale first.

These do look great, perfect silhouette. The one thing that bothers me is how the middle heel area panel extends and goes under the N logo. Looks a bit off to me and I think it would have been perfect without. Can't unsee it ever since I noticed.

I forgot to correct Greek on that, but those were always a March delivery.  Production shifted around a bit and mid-march was the delivery for these, so they're in the 2nd half of our Q1 21 deliveries.  Only a little over 2 more weeks until shops should start seeing them.

@rothdigga sizing on that new Westgate TTS?

want to echo how great these look, but also wanna throw my opinion out there b/c i feel the complete opposite - i actually really dig the layering with that grey enveloping the n. really gives a neat 'movement'/action effect, like the N is bouncing. i'd actually be bothered if the grey just went straight down into the sole and didn't wrap around haha

[Bubblegum Tate]

Restock!

I like it too.  My only minor nit to pick is im not crazy about the cream + coke white juxtaposition.   Nike does it a lot and it’s killed shoes id other wise prefer was a uniform shade of white

Black gum 440 high

I didn’t notice it before but I sorta like it. All In all it’s a great looking shoe. Can’t wait to hear from some people after they skate them if I don’t get a pair soon.( I have like 3 pairs of foys I planned on skating)

[ballintoohard]

So 1010 sizing- is the consensus half size smaller than 440?

I went tts and they're alright, but I get a little heel slip if I don't tie em tight enough. Half size down might have been a good move!

Trent McClung has been skating NB shoes as of late.

He posted a clip skating in the 306.
