Those 440his have a nice shape to them.

Has anyone cut off the "N" on the side? I kinda want buy those but I would like to first see them with out the "N".

would be sweet if nb# did some models without the huge "N".

Can’t tell if this is a joke ha. If not you can easily use a seam ripper to remove the N.

Kinetic has the 440 Hi in Black/Gum online now.

try removing the hi collar and the N

[bigdave]

So, I wear a 13, have a wideish foot, (especially toebox) top of my arch sits kind of high. I want a vegan shoe if possible.

The new Vans are such dog shit in terms of the slip-ons and skate-his. Im gonna try the half cabs but if they dont work out...

What should I try? @rothdigga got an idea?

For a couple of vegan options, try the one listed above (NM213SAM) which just posted today and also should be at shops any day now.  The 13 in that shoe will fit a little large, more like a 13.5, but that might not be a bad thing.
Our other upcoming vegan option is the Franky NM255FRV.  That one is just now hitting shops.  A 13 in that should also be a decent width.  I would try the 213 first given that you said you had a wide foot.

I know how to remove the "N". I was asking how it will look as the mesh has me worried it'll look ugly.

Thank you Art for the pic, they look clean-ish!

But please tell me how did you un-high it?

There are plenty of other options on the 213's, but these are the only vegan option as all of the other ones use suede (they're a canvas/suede mix).  We usually do a 213 every other season as now that we have 440-hi, we don't need that many mid/Hi top options.

Sick ad and a great looking shoe, love the touch of mint green on the heel

[Frank and Fred]

I'll be getting Samrria's shoe for sure. I can't personally pull off white shoes but whatever...

Foy 306 slip-on

[Eric Dolphy]

These look great in the pictures, def copping a pair.

My local just got a restock of a few of the og black suede so I grabbed a pair. Finding they're comfier on my wide foot than the brown/green just because of the mesh on top of the toebox instead of suede, so these white/gum ought to be the same.

Foy 306 slip-on

these look sick i'll be interested to hear the comfort level, don't think i have the balls to skate in slip ons but these could be a good chiller

[chat noir]

Never worn New Balances but thinking of copping a pair of the 306l's.

I wear an 11 in Vans, should I order an 11 in NBs? Unfortunately have to do mailorder.

For NB, I think it really depends on the exact shoe model. For the 306s, I went TTS like I do for Vans, and they fit great.

I am a 9.5 in Vans. I had to go up to a 10 in the 306 as well as the 255.

[Onevia]

Those black/tan 440hi's are what I've been waiting for. I fit perfect in a s11 SB Dunk High, but the previous page has me nervous about ordering tts. Guess I'll have to see if my local gets them within the next couple of weeks.

[ok boomer]

Any reviews (or what page of this thread should I be on) of the 1010? Pondering trying these out. Never had NB before. Sizing? Good? Bad?
