New Balance # containment thread

Anyone know when these are going to drop in the US? Also any other insight of upcoming future colorways? Seeing if I should buy the beef & broccoli colorway now or wait, love the 1010!

Those are Holiday 1010's that are going to hit any day now.  Our warehouse is super overwhelmed so they're being checked in and I'm hoping to push those out to shops any day now.  There's also a phantom/orange pop 1010 color for Holiday as well coming at the same time but that white/navy one is very crispy.

Classic question: how's the sizing on 808?
I wear size 8 (US) in Nike and almost all the NB# I skated were 8.5 with the exception of 420 which felt huge. Should I go for the classic half size up?

I would.  Maybe someone else has info but the 808 is a bit snug over the top so if you've already gone .5 up on NB#, roll with that.

They're out in Europe and Canada already.  NM1010PW if you search but here's a link to a site that has them up in Montreal.

Anyone has any idea on why NewBalance.com would take down the Brown/green 1010's off their website after being available for purchase for a week or so? lol I missed out and didnt buy them quick enough

These are back up on the site...FYI.  But please find a shop to snag them at first if you're gonna get some.  We had a good amount of shops get them from our reps.

Awesome, thanks for all the replies, another reason why I support NB, we got a strong community in here!

I just wanted to say, that this thread alone made me consider to get some NB# shoes. Breaking some 440s in right now and so far I like them. More companies should have a communication person like @rothdigga

I agree, surprise we dont see other companies doing it, I know we got an active Emerica guy on slap as well, i like knowing I can ask a question and get a response pretty quickly, keeps me loyal to NB, its pretty sick

That’s a Freaks/Ramones reference!  I’m a little disappointed

[dunc]

The challenger 440 has a slippery stuck down inner sole. Why? I loved that colour combo but the inner is like grease.

I think it’s how they print the graphic on there. I saw the same problem with the Foy #306 X Deathwish collab. They should really stop making the insoles like that

When exactly do the phantom/orange 1010s come out in the U.S?

[professional]

For the 440 lovers, do both the lows and highs run true to size? In case it helps, the last 6-7 pairs of shoes I've had are a mix of Crockett lows and highs.

both 440's run true to size, i find the crocket his to be much wider though.

[LebowskisRug]

I have wide feet and so far 440 always TTS. The highs feel a bit less stiff. 1010 I'm between sizes but mostly cuz I have low volume feet. 272 I was definitely a half size down when I tried them on.

The 272 woulda been great if not for the fact that the heel goes straight up vertically. Not very good heel lock but the rest was perfect.

[Justinshreds]

Do the 808s feel better once broke in? I just tried a pair on and they felt so stiff, and the board feel was very numb feeling.

[LebowskisRug]

My buddy that has them said it's been rough. He wore them around on a long walk a few times before but the first week was terrible. He likes really thick cups (not sure about stiff) and never give up on stuff so he will skate them through their life but he's had a tough time.

I tried them on and instantly knew they would take forever to break in. Super comfy but wayyy stiff

[YeoWhattup]

Skated the 808 today for the first time and I love them so much

[hayduke lives]

@rothdigga just curious if there was a timeline you could divulge on any vegan options in the pipeline? maybe more 420s or i think it was 440s that were mentioned back in september?

I’ve skated the first color to the point they are broken in and they feel really good. The foam around the mid foot packed out to my arch shape. Took about a week of casual walking then about 3 sessions. The fit improves as it packs out a bit. Don’t give up on them too quickly.

Same here, before moving back to South America I was only skating NB#, once ai moved couldn't find them there, now back in Europe and I've been trying a bunch of stuff just to remember about NB# great support + the shoes always worked great for me.
