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.

Magic. Thanks Rothdog.

More 1010 colorways

Just picked up some 913s while I wait for more 1010 colorways, I’ve only had the tiagos hopefully the west gates treat me right, I’ve read good things

[Damoforce]

Do the 1010s run true to size or do I need to go up or down? I'm usually a 11 in most

I wear tts in the tiagos, I’ve heard people get heel lift so they size down but I don’t have that problem

I’ve skated multiple pairs of the Tiago’s and had a pair of the 913s that I really liked. They’re a little slimmer than the 1010s but the sole is still pretty supportive. They were like the perfect shoe to me until the Tiago’s came out. I’d get more 913s if they dropped that maroon colorway again

1010s run 0.5 small for me. I'm an 11 and went up to an 11.5.

Pretty much all NB# runs small anyways. Not sure how people are sizing down in the 1010s. They're a snug, yet comfortable fit in your correct size, though

@Damoforce what are some other shoes you've had? Maybe that will help your assessment. If you have a similar size up or TTS like I do with the below examples, then I suggest an 11.5, but hopefully you can try them on in a store somewhere soon.

I'm usually a 10, have three pairs of 1010 in size 10, and one in 9.5
My brown 1010 fit fine width-wise in my true size but i get heel lift. They're the only pair of size 10 that were great to skate in, but i only skated them for one session because they're beautiful and i want them to last forever.

The white leather gum and og black suede 10's were good new but now they're broken in, they are too big to skate. My latest white suede and gum 9.5's feel snug, i had to really stretch them out to be comfy, yet i still get heel lift. I'll probably skate them once they stop looking so fresh.

I'm thinking Tiago must have slim feet and fat ankles.

[DarkPools]

That's interesting! I get almost no heel lift/slip in the 1010 @pointandclick . I had 11 and sold to a friend before the  two 11.5's that I have. Both 11 and 11.5 fit relatively the same in the heel. So you drop down 0.5 a size on the 1010 like the 212/213?

However, I do notice that if I don't lace to the top eyelet there's a possibility of the shoe coming off, but that's 99% of all low top shoes that I've ever worn. I don't like shoes loose, but I don't like them snug either. If I'm skating a pair, laced to the top. Maybe I have fatter ankles like @TracersOnlyfans is alleging Tiafo has lmao!

@Damoforce we might have made this more confusing (sorry  ), but in short, try to find a shop to try on an 11 and then a 10.5 or an 11.5 if the 11 doesn't work. At least now you should have an idea of what the fit might be like.

The 1010 looks to be the closest thing we've had to a "Janoski" in a long time.  It's a beautiful shoe!!

I have loathed the janoski ever since the first pair i saw but i get your meaning, and agree. I've heard a few friends call them "the new dunk" and i think that's a fair analogy. Great silhouette and panelling to drop new colours on, I'm always gagging to see what colours are coming out next, even if they don't really fit me properly. I just love them as a chiller shoe.

1010s might be my favorite shoe ever

[LewFarrell]

I'm on my fifth pair this year. I burn through the sole moderately fast but I keep buying them because they're that good. Never break laces and they need minimal shoe goo. Fit is unmatched for my duck-paddle-ass feet.

I will never own a pair,  just because they don't suit me .  They are a beautiful shoe though.   There isn't an ugly colourway.

Do the 1010s run true to size or do I need to go up or down? I'm usually a 11 in most

It's such a mixed bag, dude. Best bet is to go try them on in person or order from Zappos and get free returns.

Those look nice, good idea. Been wanting to try 440s since 1010s where the most friendly to my back but a bit 'too much' otherwise.

Yhese are super sick but anyone who rides in this shoe knows that the the suede ones skate entirely better and are considerably more comfortable and if they would make for example navy suede w/gray mesh with white sole it would shine a even brighter light around a already incredibly well done and highly functional mid top skate shoe. My example color way is 100% based on already legendary classic OG running shoes that to this day sell out when they bring back a in OG color ways and I personally view this shoe as iconic as the 998 and 995’s.

[LebowskisRug]

Love the way 440's skate, but somehow they are the least durable shoe I've skated. It doesn't seem others have this problem as much as I do.

[Acky Jacky]

The 440 Hi is my favorite skate shoe ever, I just got my 5th pair. I love the way the leather ones look but it’s true that the suede version is two or three times as durable. This fact won’t stop me from getting the above posted colorway. I wish the lows fit me as well, because those black ones are beautiful.

[PAWL]

i like the way the leather skates over the suede. trying to get those white highs

[Mantracker]

Love it how the 440 high white is basically the same colour as the last white version. I'll probably snag a pair of these as I love the leather to skate in

[skateviewer]

already skated a pair of the tom knox black lows but looking forward to the real deal

[Bigwheelbite]

Loving the new 272's in white perforated leather. Can see why so many ppl r on the NB wave and makin the switch...

Anyone tried the new Westgate 508?

Ah the "Half-Knox"

[Damoforce]

Ended up getting some 1010 half price. Can't try in shop atm in Melbourne, retail is closed.

I'm 11 in most, nike sb 10.5 if you want to be really picky. But got 11, they fit great. 10.5 would also be picky just to bring the length down.

[hmmmokay]

Not sure if they have been discussed extensively but I picked up a pair of 272's today and I have never had a shoe feel so good on a board right out of the box. I cannot comment on durability obviously but the first session was excellent. Will definitely be grabbing another pair in the future. Not one complaint.
