New Balance # containment thread

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

White ones are synthetic.

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

am i going to hate my life going from Foy 306s to Es Accells ?  feels like i can hardly even feel the pedals in my car driving in these things...

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.

I returned mine immediately.  Couldn’t believe how huge and stiff they were compared to my fond memories

@rothdigga what happened with pj and NB?

We had a good run man.  8 years is a long time in the skate world actually but ultimately people move on at some point.  He's the homie and I will always keep in touch with him.

Just looked.  Japan did indeed buy into the NM255FRV so those should be at shops in Japan and online there anytime or maybe up now.  Give it a look.

does anyone feel like their scrape is restricted quite a bit in 440 his? after skating them for a bit I feel like even my ollies are worse because i'm not used to having to move my leg quite so much to get a good scrape. can't tell if this is a shoe style thing or a me thing.

[Firebert]

a me thing.
