Pulled it from Trahans story. Went back and fixed it, you should be able to click and see the full photo now.

Those look like the old 868's to me but I don't recognize the colorway

That was my first thought. But the only colorway I can recall that was close is this one, believe it was one of the first few drops and it had gum soles. Thought he may have just painted them at first. But The ones in Trahans story have black soles. DMd him, we’ll see if he hits me back.

Or maybe Roth can confirm/deny?

jordans shoes had something like a purple liner and accent on the heel? or maybe my eyes are just fucked.

anyways, looks pretty good. haven't seen this color and i used to look for that model or what was left of it and probably saw most colorways. hopefully this is one of the reissues roth said could be coming occasionally.

Ordered a pair of black/ gum 440 High's last week after seeing Numeric claim they are tts. I'm glad I did, because they were indeed tts.

Compared to SB Dunk High Pro's the 440hi's feel broken in right away. Likely, because they aren't as thick, stiff and narrow as the Nike's. Definitely not as supportive in the upper, but that can be a Pro/ Con based on personal preference. No noticeable QC issues on my pair and the extremely thin insoles are the only real con of this shoe. I'll likely keep on buying these until Nike can sell shoes without the extra steps involved.

A little bit of dorky energy but that was a good ad. I'd like to try them out if I can find a shop that has them nearby. No matter what size I try the vans slip on never fits quite right. I've only had luck with the Dylan slips.

Anyone have word on if these are a narrow shoe or wider?

Yo that's your shoe! Don't you have a bunch stocked up? Maybe this is sign of a return to the line... I am definitely gonna try them since I've never had a pair.

new 508 colorway hit the aussie market.

I think a white toe panel top would have been a nice touch.

I missed out on the 868 when they were in production and recently copped a pair that I'm really loving for their durability and how they skate + the soles haven't worn from when I've been dragging my foot when I've been filming either. Be keen to skate more of 'em if I can!

After waking up and checking the NB site every morning for the last 4 months, The 440 high white green was finally added to the Canadian website. I copped the 2nd last pair and I’m just over the moon.

Been waiting for this shoe since Jack Curtains insta post months ago

So stoked!

They are my favorite personally. Aside from one pair of 1010's just recently, its the only shoe I've skated in the past 3 years. They check all the boxes for me, a pair will last me 3 month or more. They never get floppy, just a real solid well built shoe. Im stoked they are going to be doing little releases from time to time. I have around 10 pairs atm, I'll probably cop 2 or 3 of the new color way when they drop. Slept on the Surreys and kinda kicking myself.

Any NB insiders can confirm if these are synth or leather?  The black ones look like genuine suede but these white ones look more synth-y, and I know other 425s have been synth.  https://www.newbalance.com/pd/all-coasts-425/AM425V1-33463.html#dwvar_AM425V1-33463_style=AM425WWW&dwvar_AM425V1-33463_width=D&pid=AM425V1-33463&quantity=1

found these online but couldn’t find them on any other site, new color coming soon?

These guys always seem to have shoes in stock before anyone else and for lower prices than anywhere else. Smells like a scam to me..

Anyone ever order from them successfully?

“Chukka shoe” in bold sounds sketchy, but I doubt they fabricated the colorway which seems rad

Pretty sure the hustle with this is they post everything in the catalog that gets sent to them and then try to order it from the distributor after the customer places an order. This kinda shit was really popular back in the day if you ever tried to buy electronics gear from one of those NYC outfits that advertised in the back of Audio and Video magazines.

If you're ever unsure about a shop, just do a web search with the store name and the word scam. You'll find out very quickly if they are legit or not.

Ah that makes sense. That's usually my protocol and haven't seen anything positive on their reviews online. Was hoping for a Pals experience

I bet they have a lot of orders go un-shipped. Im just gonna stick with buying direct or preferably from a shop

I've ordered from that site before for soccer/snow products, and it's legit. They own a bunch of different websites that are like "snowinn" "whateverinn" etc.

I think they are in spain, but surprisingly good about time/cost shipping to the US. I think it was only like 7-10 days.

Anyone else find the 440 high wear super fast? They might be the fastest wearing modern shoes I’ve hand but I like everything else about them.
