808s looking pretty rad!

Man, I want to like the 440s so bad, but they feel like garbage to me when I try to skate them. The sole feels super hard. It’s a bummer. On my board they feel like the ball of my foot is just above my board, but the outside edges of the shoe are touching. It’s almost like they feel convex when on concave. Am I the only one that has this problem?

Other NBs have fucking ruled to skate, but the 440 does not like me. What am I doing wrong people?

stupid question but, which ones did you get, how long have you had them & do you wear them snug or loose?

They’re black and white with a black sole. I would typically wear them snug.

I also have a pair with a gum sole that haven’t been worn yet.

[Allen.]

Yeah, they’re too thin for my winter cupsole pick. Might as well be a vulc I’m the forefoot. They’re great though.

[Acky Jacky]

I pulled the trigger on some 7mm FP insoles for my 440Hi’s. Previously I was recycling the insole from my 1010’s. The FP insoles mitigates most of the issues I had with the sole being too thin.

@rothdigga since the 808 leaked, can we see a pic of samples or a top view?

[MadeYouLook]

fuck I have to stay out of this thread. I have too many shoes already.

I had to return my 1010’s bc (to me) they ran small (aka sized like a dunk so take that as you will). Was bummed. I may try the half size up but dang I may just wait for the 808’s! Any idea when those come out?

[close]

808's won't be until July (shipping delays notwithstanding) so you should for sure grab like 300 pairs of 1010's now until then...

Please tell me they aren’t phasing out the 1010

808s are a cool second option but the 1010s are classic IMO. They deserve an 533-esque run

Pretty sure it's all but confirmed that the 1010 isn't going anywhere. Tiago haas a new shoe coming in 2022 but they're still going to produce the 1010, it's been very popular.
In one of the links posted a page back, i saw the 1010 is now called "1010 v1" so I'm assuming 1010 v1 and 1010 v2 will both be available sometime next year.

808 looks like the 1010 upper on a 868 sole.... Wait a minute!?

[cricketclub]

Besides one pair of 533’s a few years ago I’m new to the world of New Balance skate shoes. I got some 440 highs despite also getting a bunch of Busenitz’s right beforehand. I’m a thin cupsole kind of person and NB seems to have some good looking ones. I went tts in the 440 highs and noticed that they were a little bit big. Is this the general consensus for that shoe? I’d rather have half a size too big than half a size too small. Kickflips feel hit or miss, but every other flip trick feels completely fine

They run small for me.

Pretty sure the 808 is a whole new sole. Checked them out in person, and those soles are thick. There’s some decent padding in there, but there is definitely going to be less board feel than the 1010’s

[Ok]

Sign me up for less board feel!!
As soon as someone says ‘broke in really easily’ or something of that nature…pass.
Those 808s look nice

word, thanks for answering. i was curious because i find the all black soled 440s to break in quicker/softer than gum or gum/black. i think our feet are a bit different though, because i wear out in the ball of foot area super quick, so it's definitely touching. wonder if the gum sole will treat you the same

808 looks like NBs interpretation of a Lynx.

No phase out of the 1010, it's sticking around for a while.

The upper looks nothing like the 1010

Today it was confirmed to me that the 808 is indeed the new Tiago pro model, but the 1010 is sticking around. Also saw some more pictures of the 808 and it looks even better than the pics above, in terms of the silhouette and the shape of the toe. I'm pretty sure it's going to be my new fav skate shoe.

Those ellingtons skated kinda good from what i remember and was one of the more durabable supras at the time!#

Back to the topic of the tiagos- Jeck Curtin had an in hand pic of those on his insta few days back and they look even better in those!

Honestly comparing the tiagos to the Ellington’s is pretty weird, the sole is kinda similar, but I remember correctly the Ellington was a one piece toe and a much more slim fitting shoe than the Tiago, but yea I’d like to see a better pic of his new one, the one above is pretty blurry

1010 isn't going anywhere, Tiago will have 2 models in the market at the same time. All original product models are "v1", but there are no plans for a 1010v2 at the moment. 1010v1 is just getting its legs and it'll continue to grow as long as the Slap Pals continue to spread the word!

[WideFeet]

Just got my 1st out of 1010’s. Really stoked! Super comfy and can’t wait to break them in. Also, first cupsole in a few years. Hoping I like them.

Can anyone that’s skated/skates the 1010’s tell me anything to look out for? Are there things that happen while first skating they that I may not like, but it will get better?

Trying to give these a fair shot. I really want these to be my new shoe I have multiple pairs in a row of. They’re so comfortable, I’m hoping they work out

[apport]

i don’t like skating the 1010s, it just feels like too much shoe to me, but they’re my current go-to shoe for just wearing because they’re so comfortable. so even if they don’t work for you skating-wise they make for a great chiller.

they take a while to break in for sure. some pals have heel slip issue- i mostly felt like i hat that issue on the white leather/ gum sole pair but once broken in it went away!
Suede should break in faster. they fit low above my toes/ hight of the shoes in the toe is not much and might give a lil pressure point but goes away. Maybe thinner socks would help. Since you said they are comfy already i wouldn`t guess that's an issue for you!

Just take time breaking them in.

Oh one thing: i superglue the seams around the toe since i kickflip further up around there!

you should have fun with those!

By the way :are there any more pics of the new tiago model?

My all suedes are the best shoe I can remember. Loose in the heel, I have narrow heels (which is something that’s always directed me towards Nike), so I use the ‘jogger loop’, and that helps.
Blah blah. Great shoe. Flick, comfort, and durability are highlights.
