We can’t see that shit

[ungzilla]

tiago is set to private and won't accept my request because there is no evidence of skating on my instagram and i'm missing out on fakie hardflips and shit i'm pissed

[Eric Dolphy]

Can't see the insta post but are you talking about these? That's the nb480. Not a numeric model but looks skateable

Yes that's the one. Good looks. couldn't find it when i searched on the NB website. Looks great though. Give. us a numeric version with a good insole and. passed tongue and heel collar and those are gold. Tiago looks sick in them.

That’s just an Air Force 1 with a NB logo.

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 : /

Same bro. Of all the shoes out this one bums me out the most. Love the look and arch/heel hugging feel. but they just don't fit.

NB Vulcs (round toe) 10.5 (half size up from my US10 foot) fit me perfectly...

NB  cups (square toe) 9.5 = too small, 10 = too big (westgates and Tiagos); major heel lift and toes swimming in what would normally be my size.

WTactualFk is going on with that? How can a brand have sizing that off between model types?

I’m a comfortable size 9 in NB#, Vans, Soletech, Nike, Adidas and even Last Resort so when I read the reports on here of people sizing up and down 2 thoughts come to mind
1) People’s feet are different
2) People have different ideas of how a shoe should fit

Shrug emoji?

If you go into non skate shoes thread Watson was skating them a few months back
And seemed to say good things about those shoes.

[BlancoBartoATL]

More like a DUNK with a NB logo based on the fact it’s a lot less bulky than a Air Force 1.

Does anyone know what material the toe box is on the white 272s that came out recently? Having a hard time figuring it out from the pictures online.

It looks like leather to me

It's a coated suede.  Has a smooth leather look but then wears like suede once you skate it.  Same material we use on the Knox special drops if you're familiar with those.

Yessssss

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

Im not understanding your reasoning here. if u get a smaller size they will be even narrower

I found an excellent deal on an old pair of 254's from back when NB was still calling them the 'Quincy'. They were new with the original box but I don't know what year they were released, I think they are at least four years old. Anybody got any ideas when these dropped? I went a half size up and they fit perfect, the old orange foam insoles feel really good and I love the look of the upper on these shoes. They look sick with khaki pants and the I'm feelin the slight color pop of the maroon/aubergine color of the trim and the laces. They were only $25 bucks with cheap shipping so these are probably the best deal I've ever got on a new-with-box pair of skate shoes. I love eBay

I've just seen some in "estate blue" in a blog from 2014. Time for bed.

Probably 2013-2014, but be warned if they are still called "quincy" they are the Black Box produced ones before they changed factories/brought shit in house and are probably not great

The new Bronze 868's are appearing on European NB sites: https://dk.newbalance.eu/en/pd/nm868/NM868V1-37089.html

Seeing prices ~£100/ >100EUR so absolutely fuck that.

120€
That’s definitely inflated. They would offer -15% for newsletter subscribers so it’s almost down to 1010 prices then…

[bbk]

it was 130 on the danish site linked, and 140 on the swedish site. It's gone now, but I could still see it when I searched.

And 120 on the German site this morning...

On the new 288s. are they leather or suede? I see mixed things

[WideFeet]

They’re suede

[expired]

I've been skating 288s this past year and am thinking about ordering a pair of 913's, anyone have recommendations for sizing? I've been skating a 10 in the 288s, should I go with that for the 913's as well?

913s are TTS the last I heard and tried on (never owned), but I'm not sure if you're TTS in the 288s. Nearly all of NB# shoes, I go half up, except the 913, 212, and 213, so that's my take.

If 10 is your normal size, I'd recommend going with that for the 913.

Question to anyone in the know:

Rumours in recent/upcoming suggest that Tiago is getting a new shoe in 2022- does that mean that NB are going to stop making the 1010 around then?

1010 should be around for a good while longer, I wouldn't worry about those things going away.
