WHERE TO COP. are these skateable? wtf does it mean if its hiking mode. is it still okay for skating?? idgi

[Underpressureflips]

The sole of the shoe has a hiking boot tread. Can you skate them? You can skate anything if you really want to.

What size are you? I find these on Depop, Mercari, Poshmark, and eBay all the time.

Got these already, and they look just as good in the flesh.

Looks like the Westgate 913 is back in production. A better shoe than the 508 in my opinion

Hopefully they keep releasing these in more colorways they were an excellent shoe. Probably my favorite outsole ever

Slap a tree frog on it and I’m FUCKING BUYING. No brainer

[MetalAnkleMan]

Anyone got any insight of some new 1010 color ways dropping soon? I know we got the Primitive collab and the white/navy one here soon, but anything else? Hoping to see a mainly white color way again!

Gonna need a full part from him in this head to toe. I hope my eyes don’t deceive me, because the colors look perfect.

[munchbox]

tree frogs and tiago make too much sense
well done to all involved

[DarkPools]

I should probably look this up but I feel like tree frogs are a species native to Brazil in the tropical areas. Maybe that's why they did this design?

The colors look incredible and maybe I'm biased because I love green, but I'd cop if they fit me  better.

Anyone else notice how the 1010 and other NB cups fit tight in the mid foot area laterally (instep on inside across to the outside just before your pinky bone starts)? It's only that spot since the rest of the shoe fits nicely on me.

[gaunting]

just got these today. at an absurdly cheap price. 4th pair in 10 months. Lmao

I also copped these. Probably the freshest shoes I ever had. Mad stoked on them.

[rothdigga]

are they designed to be skated?
these mid soles look better than the og 440s

You can definitely skate the 440-trail but they're also a very functional casual hiking shoe.  I've actually beaten the hell out of the early ones I got here in the office and they held up very nicely.  We have some future ones coming with much more weatherized materials but these first batches very much do what they're meant to do. 

[BALLSACK_SKATEBOARDING]

I'm going to complain and make this post daily until NB listens

Release an all black 440 high colorway please (no contrast stitching, no hiking mode)

These were quite literally perfect. I found one pair of these in like new condition earlier this year and they're absolutely perfect. Please put these out again

Got one coming with a white N on it for Summer 23...hopefully that will satisfy your needs until an all black hits again.

[Clock3rs]

Anybody here putting off the N on new balances? Rocking the 5th pair of 272s in a row, horrible colorway this time but shot it so cheap that I had to buy it. I’m thinking of grinding off the N this time. Cannot deal with it anymore, especially on the 272

grinding off?? there's a tool called a seam ripper which will easily remove the stitched on N

[LebowskisRug]

I do it on a lot of my 440's. I don't actually mind the N itself but sometimes it really detracts from the colorway. I think it would be best if it always blends in with the side panel or is at most an adjacent color but it almost never looks good as a solid alternate color.

the ripstop instead of mesh side panel on these are a nice touch

got these strictly for every day wear. too fresh to skate

[gaunting]

just noticed that. 🤣
