Anyone have any insight on where it would be possible to find the 1st colorway? Titus doesn’t seem to ship to the US.

I second this if anyone has any info if NB is re-releasing the OG 1st colorway again? Right now im skating the white leather/green colorway with the mesh toe. That combo of leather and mesh fit my busted up feet/ankles perfect!

Which shoe are we talking about here?  The OG first 1010?

Titus advertised on insta they got a restock of them, I was hoping this was indication US will get a restock as well? (fingers cross)

Ahhhh right.  I forgot that Europe did a re-stock of that shoe since they basically missed the boat the first time around.  I do NOT have those coming back for the US but you never know, we may throw them back in at some point like we did the NM1010TR (Beef/broccoli).  As of now, I don't have them in the plan though, sorry!

Dam was really wishing for this, any update of what the next 1010 colorway will be?

How are 1010s just as a daily shoe? Got a trip coming up with a lot of walking and figured I’d just cop a pair of new balances to pull double duty.

I promise you the 1010 will be a perfect daily shoe/skate shoe. I spent 2 years of absolute shoe/insole madness in order for me to comfortably skate again (shattered my ankle/surgery) and am beyond happy with the 1010. Honestly its to the point were I dont know what I would do if they stop making them lol this fear keeps me having 4 pairs on ice at all times haha

Just joined the NB# 1010 family and snagged a pair of cream white / blue on Parade World.  Said I’d wait but just couldn’t anymore.  Stoked as heck.

I saw a pair of 440's in my size for a good price but I've never had any NB# before and had a question about fit. I've got narrow feet and high arches and wear a 13 in Vans, would I be good to go true to size?

It has been my daily work and walking shoe for over two years now. This is really a big advantage compared to other skate shoes. As long as they fit your foot, you will be good.

But there is absolutely no grip on snow or ice.

I said this many times: I'm in love with the 808 but they "fucked me up" in the sense that I try any other shoe and I don't like them.
Weeks ago I got Knox 440 highs which I wanted really bad, thing is that I got them 0.5 bigger since they didn't had my size.
Tried them days ago for the first time and they felt like vulc shoes, I put Reynolds G6 insole which is a thin one and now they felt way better.
So the whole thing here is to get 0.5 bigger 440 and add a thin insole and they're good to go.
Wish NB# would make a decent insole for them tho.

How is the heellock on the 808s? I tried the 1010s and would have liked them if my heel wasn't sleeping out when walking.
Is the 808 any better for narrow heels?


BTW NB Germany has 1010s and 808s on Sale for 70 €.

[RichardBarkley]

Love the feel of the 808s. Skating them and dragons I can literally skate longer. So much easier on my knees.

I wish the flick was better though. I'm coming from the Puigs. the flick on them is unreal

I didn't like the 1010's because I had poor heel lock. Tried on the 808's and they felt about the same to me. To be fair, I tried them on in my regular size and they were too small, but the shop didn't have the next size up - I can't say whether or not they would fit me better in the correct size. I kind of wish both of those shoes were a little higher in the collar.

i am usually a size US7.5, had 1010 and had heel slip pretty badly and the toe area would bag out a lil bit so i coulda sized down on them, might have solved the problem with heel slip. the ones with mesh toe

now i ordered the 808 in my usual size US 7.5 and had no heel slip....turned out it was beacause the shoes just were too small so i am sending them back and wait on the US8 sized ones now. since the 808 runs a lil smaller in lenght  (at least i feel like it does) i think hee slip might not be that bing of a problem....will report back though!

i feel like the 808 in comparison to the 1010 in the same size fits different overall, so heel sits different

[Willy Wonker]

Anyone know if they may do a 1010 mid? Tried the low but bad ankles/heel slippage keeps me from skating in them. Would love to skate in a mid form tho

I'm a broken record on this, but NB sells rebranded Superfeet insoles. I use the Run Comfort in mine since they're $10 less from Superfeet. Friends run the Adapt Run as well.

Atlas just got these and I’m sure other shops will soon. [I feel like I’ve seen these before or some other shoe in a similar colorway, but didn’t see this posted in the last five pages.]

Makes you think that Reynolds will end with a shoe like 808 but high/mid top

That would be real nice but in his doodles he specifically said low top when listing what he wanted. Guess that doesn't have to mean anything tho

I choose to believe. Remember that Emerica Reynolds that wasn't completely a mid with G6 sole?

[Fartknocker415]

Any of y’all saw the other story he posted of a weird blurry screen grab and he doing a kickflip in some NB that I can’t ID but sorta look like 990s idk

Did ya all go in your usual size for the 440 hi's?
The low 440 fit pretty good in a 7.5 US for me.

I did, yup. I wear a 10 in most other shoes (Vans, Emerica, New Balance's main line, etc.) and got a 10 in the 440 highs.

Tts, didn't went the usual 0.5 up. I have some 440 highs that I went 0.5 up since they didn't had my size and I wanted then badly but with a extra thin insole they feel and fit pretty good
