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

jep that is how i do it!

funny enough i was TTS in US 8 for forever and now seem to be US 7,5 in blazers, dunks and 1010s. 440 i am still US 8 in size

@rothdigga sizing on that new Westgate TTS?

In case he misses this anyone who's tried these feel free to answer.

I've been told by most that the 508's are indeed TTS.  I'm a bad gauge as I wear an 11.5 in everything we make except the 212/213.  But the consensus is TTS on the 508.

I'm gonna grab a pair of 508s just because I came up in the 508 and am always stoked on anything Brandon does, doubly so because I remember seeing him as a little, little dude killing it. BUT, does NB ever make like T-shirts and stuff for pro releases? I've been on the west coast for a minute and love repping my home!

When the 913 Westgate came out we did a "Westgate Cranberry Farms" shirt for that release.  We did some Tiago shirts for the 1010 and some Foy ones as well when the 306 came out, so they do show up from time to time.  We didn't have a 508 shirt planned for this one but should.  Funny enough my skate crew growing up out here in Long Beach, CA was the 508 Crew (Rob G, Danny Montoya, me, Steve Saiz, Lowery, Pulsifer, TimTim and others).  Ours was the penal code for skating at the mall by us...skating tickets were a code 508...

A 508 Numeric shirt would be monumental.

The colors are so nice and I’m sure skates great.

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.

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

[close]

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

It's nearly impossible to get a pure white suede. The ones that do exist are stupid expensive, so you rarely find it on anything other than luxury brand sneakers. Thats why you see it from skate brands with the color shift...

Oh I don’t want the pure white suede, I like that off white color.   It’s the bright bright white (canvas part?) I’m not the wildest about esp right next to the suede white.  But like I said it was a nitpick.   

This shoe looks like it’s set up real nice for some good color ways.  A wheat/gum sole like those Foy Deathwish ones would be rad.

Looks like the 508s come in a darker color as well.

Maybe it’s been already posted but I’m not familiar with the 1010 colorway Tiago is wearing in this clip. Looks pretty good.

[Bubblegum Tate]

Looks like a white suede pair?

[hobochimp]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Kind of looks like it’s a slightly cream colored suede possibly or it’s just dirty. Best looking 1010s in my opinion so far. Still not sure I could pull them off though

Just got sent a photo of them. They have a Suede toe cap, mesh underlays, leather overlays. Black “N” new balance logo.

I’m curious what the N color is.  If it’s the same colorway as that 440hi, I’m going to be in hog heaven

Just saw it’s black.  Tate post the pic

[Bubblegum Tate]

Just asked to see if I can post the in-hand pic. Waiting for a reply.

I need to see this photo. Everyday nb# gets closer and closer to getting my money despite me having way too many shoes as it is

Those sour mids are up on the NB site for anybody who wants them

2 seasons away.  This is a Fall 21 colorway, late July delivery most likely.

Gotta wait a little longer. Didn’t get the go ahead. But pretty sure soon enough it’ll be ok to post.

They look good with the suede top cap.

[fakie nollie]

Anyone here get the 508's yet? I'm on my second pair. I bought 11.5 first, which is my size in everything else. Once they broke in, way too lose. Ordered 11, thinking I was only half a size over.

4 days into skating them, again, same issue. I'm lacing them super tight and my foot is sliding around.

If you buy these, I don't even really know which size you should get. Good luck?

Some new NB# shoes just touched down. Can’t wait to try out the Westgate’s.

That's funny, I just got my 1010's in that same colorway you are wearing in the pic today and I'm really loving how supportive and sturdy they seem after just a few hours in them.

NB quietly killing the game. Just look at that wheat Tiago it’s so good.

[Atiba Applebum]

Why can’t there be a wheat half cab  .
