New balance cupsoles would be perfect with a pointier toe

Nah we have plenty of companies with narrow toe boxes New Balance is so refreshing.

I like the navy/gold 440's, not necessarily feeling the 1010's personally but they're not bad. Just need me a lil less of that blue.

I'd really like the  blacked out suede 1010 with the grey N to be in my rotation, does anyone know where I can still find a pair in 8.5 or 9?

[hellawatters]

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

I found the 213s to be a bit flimsier than blazers and also flimsier than the 440H. But the 213 insoles were pretty thin so a thicker one might help. I think all of them are great shoes.

quick question: did the sizing in the NB 440 LOWS change from earlier seasons?

I got me the white/green Leather Highs and would have needed a full size down on them.......like i mentioned before i usually was a US8 in Dunks and stuff, Emerica cups also but now i seem to be US7.5 in the tiagos, Dunks, Blazer mids.....
Could just be that the fit of the 440 High has a different feel on them in comparison to the lows though....

Anyway gonna get me some 440 highs in the future now that i know what size to get!
And return shipping was free so....

Well I wasn’t planning on getting the 1010..

Woah... big 440 hi fan. Will I like the 1010? Because I really like those

[MusclesMarinara]

Was in Zumiez today, I fucking know... But I wanted to check out the shape of that new Real Natas/Silva deck that just came out and they had it in stock. Long story short as I was leaving I checked out the pile of sale rack shoes they had instore and low and behold the 4 pairs of NB# 440 HIs I returned were still sitting there, now at bogo 50% off. For the hell of it I tried them on one last time since these are long gone and ended up rebuying them as they didn't feel as tight in the toe as they did when I first bought them.

* I was also healing a broken ankle so that could of been what was throwing me off with the feel and sizing on this shoe first time around.

I think the NB# 440 and the Vans Crockett High are god tier skate shoes. Can't go wrong with either.

Really like this colorway, is it out yet?

[Mr. Stinky]

Apart from running big, what can you tell me about the 508s?  How is the toebox compared to the 440 (god tier shoe)?  Wide, narrow, or the same? Do they skate decent?  Boardfeel?  How supportive?  I'm really considering pulling the trigger on a pair, but I'm fucking cheap so they'd better be worth picking up at full price if I do.

According to @rothdigga , today’s when they’re getting the 440hi in so I think we can expect them in shops next week

The port of Long Beach/LA as other plans for our shoe releases it seems, so it'll be another 2 weeks I'm guessing.  We're still at the mercy of unloading ALL of those ships out there and it's delaying a lot of shoes for us.  We still have 4 more Spring 21 shoes to deliver that are stuck out there on boats.  Nothing we can do but wait...

Just when I thought the browns tickled my funny bone enough, these came alone. Looks like I'm going to have to edge a little longer.

I still love 440s so much. So good.

Great shoe. Been skating the 1010's but I threw my Tom Knox hi's on the other day and still love em. I feel lucky to have a brand new pair waiting to be used!

[jay_nev]

New franky colorway?

[mini greek]

New franky colorway?

Yep. 255. With the Franky touches.

[Atiba Applebum]

How many different colorways has he had at this point?   He’s like the ishod of NB (which hopefully means he’ll get his own shoe)

He's had 3 Halloween colors, this one (canvas/vegan friendly) and then an upcoming Halloween one (probably).  I will put a note in our NB suggestion box- Franky pro model per SLAP PALS
