Is tiago the first dude to have two COMPLETELY different models out at once? Not like cab with the halfcab and caballeros, or someone with a pro shoe and a chiller or a colorway on something else. But two completely different skate shoe models being sold with new colors coming out for both at the same time? I cant think of another instance.

Does spanky with the KSL and spanky g6 count? Since ksl kinda a modern take on a shoe already made?

Dang that was a quick 3 answers haha. I guess the Muska example would be the most legit.

[DarkPools]

Spanky counts for sure: KSL G6 and Spanky G6 are two unique models offered my Emerica right now

Joslin had Joslin 1 and Joslin 2 out at the same time.

Figgy had his Figueroa and Figgy Dose out at the same time

Many pros in the early 2000s had a couple models at the same time

How’s the 272s fit tts? I got kinda wide feet. If that means anything. 440s feels good at 12. Which I wear in everything. 508s I got 12 and they seem a little big. But I just did the heel lock lacing someone posted and they are fine now.

[In A Jar]

I wear 12 in 440, 11.5 in 272.

at one point in the early 2000’s Chad Muska had 3-4 Circa pro models shoes out at once

Mu$ka had at least 3 different Supra in rotation at the same time. Skytop 1 2 and 3, then 1, 2 and 4, and pretty sure 1, 2 and 5 as well. 1 and 2 never left the catalogue and it would of been 1, 2 and the 2000 but they shut shop and closed down.

Awesome thank you! Gnarred. I pulled the trigger on the 272s

[FGO925]

After skating the 440 for a while… this is one of the best shoes. It skated like a vulc, more durable, fits great and looks great. Super light shoe as well. Feels very quick on the feet and the leather Tom Knox 440 is somehow even lighter than the suede. The weight makes is skate easy and quick.

I wished they did better color ways though, some of them look like hot garbage with the multi colored panels and such.

The 272 as well, great vulc shoe with awesome heel lock.

Way to go NB

[LebowskisRug]

Curious on people's opinions of the 272 vs 440. 272 felt like it had more heel padding, similar fit, could be a nice vulc with less ridiculous foxing than found on a lot of current vulcs. Front half of the shoe feels similar in terms of flex.

Gonna have to double up on both the 1010 and 808s, that colorway looks insanely good.

That's tempting...I'm still skating the first release of those now (I've been hurt). Do we know when those brown / gum 808s are coming out?...was thinking about checking those out

Geez, I think they might be really old, but maybe I’m thinking of a similar colorway.   Something about that heel panel rings a bell

Old, I had those back in Spring 2020

The color of the stock photos is darker than the actual colours. Expect brighter blues and browns

It was a great shoe, but not my favorite colorway they've done. It was my first pair of 440's, which started my addiction.

Saw those 808 wheats in person last week and they are sexy, the suede gives off an appearance of a wider toe box, which I hope is true cause the launch color (red/white blue) had a leather toe box and it ended up being way to snug for me (size 9.5 if anyone is interested) that or I hoped they changed the toe box to be a tad bit wider. Will stick to 1010s for now

@rothdigga what are the odds there will ever be vegan 440's/440 hi's?

[close]

I would put those odds at high to very very high...

is there a timeframe you could divulge on these? really eager for a vegan hi. hopefully that is what is in the pipeline

I normally wear/skate Vans, but seeing I’m now a dad, I decided to get some dad shoes. That said, I nabbed the grey-day Tiago 1010 from Civil for $90.

Dad vibes without total dad vibes. Can’t wait to BBQ and mow the lawn in these.

I'm eager to try 1010s but I've read they're on the narrower side. I also tried wearing the 440 highs for a while but they're so narrow around the mid foot I can't stand them.

I have a pretty wide foot and the 1010 works for me, if you can get the mesh toe colorways, that helps. I would stay away from the 808 if you have a wide foot, didnt work out for me

Thanks! I'll be looking for some 1010s next. I checked weartested's review pics and they look wider than 440s.
