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)
[close]

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

Ill let you skate my mini ramp in Orange if you let me try out a pair of Vegan new balance and attempt to win my alliance from Vans.
ok thanks

I second that

I've decided that I would kill for a pair of 440his in a brown colorway. Not gum though, brown specifically. I loved the brown dunks that came out in europe and the blazer mids are pretty sick except I can't rock the baby blue that's on em. Seems unlikely it would ever happen but a man can dream.

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.
I came here to ask the same thing.  At least now I know to go half a size down if they run closer to Adidas than Nike.

Yeah, that whole port delay is really jacking things up out here.  That black 1010 should be here any day, just a matter of when it clears customs and makes it to our warehouse along with the 440-hi, 288S and last 440 lo from Spring 21.

I surfed yesterday on the Huntington/Newport border and counted at least 10 cargo ships within sight., all on this side of Pedro and definitely not all that were out there. Madness.

It's crazy looking.  It looked like that after 9/11 and the port was shut down for a couple of weeks, so there was a massive backup then but they got through it pretty quick.  This one is different because the volume of goods coming in is just crazy high.  Just all of the stuff that is now getting restocked from last Summer/Fall/Holiday production coming in. 
And yes, the 213SAM Vegan Samarria should be coming in with the same batch that we're waiting on.

Yeah man. We went to Bolsa Chica on NYD and I hadn’t ever seen anything like it on that particular day. Felt like production catchup was in full effect.

Ricki has my addresss, just swing by with the 13s and we can skate ;)
Just playing but we met a few times when I was doing the music for 411 in the early aughts.
ok thanks

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.



Well if your gonna buy from Zumies, that’s a pretty savage way to do it

This is like when Rocco sold World to CCS/NYC Capital group and when they ran it into the ground, he bought it back for 1/2 the price he sold it to them for...then he sold it to Globe for more again the 2nd time.  Solid move!

I would love to be able to pay for NB#, back in Europe I was only skating them. Then I moved to Chile and that came to an end :(
What really sucks it that before you could find them here suoer easy and even cheap.

Yeah NB should have seen this coming and completely made over their supply chain to avoid these problems. God I hate it when businesses don't appease my isolationist sentiments and ignore reality like I do!

White/green/gum 440s and black/teal Tiago’s are up on the NB site.  No 213s yet tho :(
