i think the gum toe bumper is so classic personally, but to each their own.

Has anyone seen the brown Tiago's for sale in Canada, or have any idea if/when they're coming here? I got the black ones at launch and I was lukewarm on them at first, but they grew on me, and now I want more. Really have my eye on the brown ones, but I've checked a few shops and the Canadian NB site, and nobody seems to have them.

Canada has them for sure.  Centre got their order pretty late so those are just now going out to shops I'm sure.  I would keep an eye on shops receiving them and I'm sure your local up there or whatever skate web store will have them in no time.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I was getting close to paying the shipping, currency conversion, duties, etc. to get them shipped in from the US.

[close]

I would hold out.  I swear shops should have them in the next day or so.  Centre just got theirs delivered on Monday of this week.

Our shop just got them. They're very dope in person.

It’s funny the Nora shoe has that too.  I wish shoes would do it with different colorways than white.   Not to bring up the Arto shoe again, but that gum bumper looked so good with that brick colorway

[Frank]

happy about the samarria colorway. not my style or what i would wear, but looks pretty good on its own. above all it's tight she got a colorway cause she rips.

Those 508s look great. Hoping to try on a pair in person sometime or just might bite the bullet and order a pair in that colorway. Also what pants are those if I might ask?

They're beautiful. Going to give it a few days and see if a shop local to me gets them in, but I'm happy to order them from Ninetimes if not.

Hey fella I can not resist any longer on these, are they TTS? I am a 10 in SB and Vans as well (for reference) thanks!

These pics from Tate have definitely sold a few pairs of the 508s

Good advertising for sure! I am gonna get the cream ones, and when I go back home next weekend to the 508 these need to be on my feet. It's only right.

[dunc]

Ok ....... and......how do they skate??? Loved that sole on the 288. Is it a similar feel?

[Silky Johnson]

I'm a sucker for exposed foam on shoe tongues,
that's a good looking shoe for sure.

[rubbery vagina]

New balance cupsoles would be perfect with a pointier toe

[RossDailey]

Love the squared off toe on the NB# shoes.

[Ishaboi]

Excuse me if it’s been asked before, but does anyone have a comparison on the 213 hi to a blazer? The 213 seem to have a bit slimmer profile but it does appear that they have the same sole of a blazer. Are the midsoles adequately thick? Love me some blazers and would like to try the 213’s but I’m trying to avoid flimsiness if I can.

Skating the Tom Knox hi tops now and for what appears to be such a slim profile the toebox is surprisingly wide and accommodating. The sole is very supportive despite also being very seemingly thin. I did replace the insoles with some old Nike insoles however and they have been treating me very well.

Also thanks @Rothdigga for all the continuous intel

Just received the 508's and this has been alluded to in some other comments, but they're about a half size too large. I pretty much only wear NB nowadays and ordered the same size I wear in all their other models. I'd definitely consider ordering a half size smaller than you normally do if you can't try them on in-person.

Will be returning and waiting for the size I need to be restocked, since my local doesn't have them yet.

[wake and bacon]

508s have big busenitz pro vibes and i'm here for it

[Ok]

Have the 1010s. Went tts, mad heel slip. Was bummed. They skate great. So comfortable. I might try a half size down next time, but these feel like the nicest skate shoe I’ve had, maybe ever. The toe box is a little too long, the sizing is off for a narrow heeled person such as me....but goddamn, shoe feels really well made, totally worth the $$$.

I went tts as well and had the heel slip issue at first too, but I just cranked the laces up a little and it solved itself (haven't felt it since the first week of skating em). I agree that a half size down would be a good move though, since it's a suede shoe that would only get roomier as it breaks in.

Damn fine shoe indeed, skates like a dream and durable as all hell. The ONLY flaw with durability is that the collar and piping around the heel can get torn up doing heelflips. Whatever fused layer is beneath the suede is incredible, and touching up stitching with superglue once has kept those from becoming an issue.

I thought I was sold on NB after trying the 440 hi, but these 1010's are the shoes to beat. I hope the amazing colorways continue, don't know if I ever would have tried them had it not been for the brown and black joints.

[Atiba Applebum]

Tate, you gonna post that colorway yet?   If we can get an Ishod leak, we should be able to see a colorway for a shoe that’s already out
