Would buy instantly at full cost and I never buy shoes full cost. Also just throwing it out there that 90’s hiking gear colorways and styles are def about to have a renaissance and I would love to see NB# get on the trend early. Need some 440 hi’s in brown with black sole and purple/orange details.

Sometimes it feels like you guys are in our design meetings.  Can you tell me where the little camera/mic is that you have planted so we can speak directly into the camera next time?

a blazer is an entirely different shoe, hes probably referring to the general hiking influence on the whole line going forward, not that specific colorway which has been done many many times before that acg blazer. but don't listen to me I just work there now.

Lol exactly. Hell NB# even already has a 574 inspired by that look - I just want a mid/high. Tried to upload an image but can’t from my phone, it’s a tan/black/turquoise/purple colorway.

We need another drop of the wheat Tiago's this fall/winter

I finally found a pair online the other night and had them shits in the cart, but it was like 11:45pm and I told myself to sit the fuck down and go to sleep, I don't need another pair of shoes.

3 days later I wish I copped them shits and of course I'm not finding a pair anytime soon

[SugarSweetSemen]

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

Can confirm they run big. I'm a 11, had to get a 10.5. There was ample room in the size 11. Skating the 306s now in 11 and they fit snug. Not sure if all the 272 run a size big, but I would size down if you're gunna cop.

What shoes is Tiago skating here??

Very good! Maybe this would also solve the heel slip problem.

I really liked the Tiago 1010 but the heel slip is inevitable.

I was aware of this before I bought the shoes because I had read this thread, so I sized down 0.5 and the fit was perfect but still massive heel slip. Doing the heel slip lacing technique helped a bit but still had to tie them so hard they become uncomfortable.

Ordered a new pair in 1 full size down but unfortunately it was too small. Im gonna try to soak it and press it out over the night in hot water or something. Might work.

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

[rothdigga]

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.

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

[birdplops]

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.
