The 288 is halfway there with the new toe stitching. Maybe they could do a 288 version with the sole from the 442 or a mash up

Anyone skate the 913s? They look pretty tech, and I kinda like the silhouette, just wanna know how they fit and what to expect

That’s the westgate right? I’ve had two pairs and I skated the one and really liked it but in general I don’t like shoes that take a long time to break in and they took a while. They fit TTS to me and liked them once they broke in. I have a pair sitting but I don’t think I feel like breaking them in. Felt like tanks though and they treated my heels nicely

Yea the westgate model or whatever, yea they seem like they would take a bit to break in, maybe get them and wear them to work for a bit before skating them, yea I’ll prolly pull the trigger on them, thanks for the input my guy

No worries, I actually ran mine at work for months before skating them. Found a cream pair for like 35 bucks on sale so you can probably find a decent deal if colorway isn’t a factor.

[birdplops]

Is there any word on when the 868s are coming out again?

i'm skating these right now and i really like them for the most part. no ollie holes and i've been doing a lot of them lately. i need a narrow shoe until the toe box which i need wide and these work great for that, i also put remind insoles in them which work very well. they are a little annoying to tighten because of how tight and strict the lace holes are but that's a minor grievance and also means i almost never need to re-tie my laces during a sesh. i'd recommend them.

[Bubblegum Tate]

[sayjackson]

shoe looks sick. nb has the best commercials.

seeing this made me realize, every nb numeric shoe i’ve had has that 3m reflective material on the back. anyone else ever bring that up? My 1010s, 420s, 440HIs, and 508s all have it.

[munchbox]

is this heel tech exclusive to the 272s?

[Bubblegum Tate]

[Esmith5488]

I wanna know how these bad boys fit, hopefully this week I can get into vu and try a pair

[Texas_Tone]

Can’t wait, favorite shoe right now

[PAWL]

I’m bummed Tiagos don’t fit my foot. Tts I get some heel lift, but if I sized down I’d crunch my toes : /

[LebowskisRug]

@roth how do the 272 skate vs a 440?

[Hubba Bo-Tep]

Agreed.  I went from the Wheat/Black 1010s to the Etnites Marana and I'm just not feeling the Etnies.  I've been breaking in a pair of the White/Gum leather 1010s while I skate the Maranas and I'm just about to throw the towel in on the Maranas.  The 1010s are just too damned comfortable!  I quite like that white/black colourway too so they'll probably end up on ice while I skate the white leather pair.

Yea man I wear 10.5 and always go tts in the tiagos and never has the problem, but everyone has a different foot I suppose

[rothdigga]

@roth how do the 272 skate vs a 440?

Since one is cup (440) and one is vulc (272) it's kind of a difficult comparison but I would say the length should be similar overall.  I've been stuck skating the 440-hi for so long that I'm still not ready to change. 

[kneebone]

@rothdigga any insight on why NB abandoned the synthetic suede toe patch for the newest 213s?  Seems like such a missed opportunity when 95% of the shoe is already animal-friendly, and it seemed like the Samarria sig version sold well.

[WideFeet]

Tried on the 272’s. A little more narrow that’s the 379’s, and if I were to buy, I would get a half size smaller than normal. 379 I wear a 10.5. 272’s I would get a 10.

A friend or mine had to get a half size down in the 272 from his normal size he gets in NB#.

Just wanted to throw that info out there for anyone interested in that shoe

I've tried on every color that's come out. They're a bit too tight in my size and still have pretty bad heel lift. Most people I see skating them, including Tiago, crank the shit out of the laces. Guess it's necessary. 

[PAWL]

Be cool if some kind of mid version of the Tiago came out in some 90s hiking colors, so I wouldn’t have to worry about the heel lift cough @rothdigga cough

[Allen.]

My god I want to try those 272's.
