We got this Reynolds post with some 👀 emoji which makes me believe that the shoes we're seeing here could be his pro model.
There is a half cabish vibe to it to me. A cupsole mid top would be a hammer 🔨
No matter what we know that the boss will deliver something great.

Relax. It’s a black 417 that’s dropping prob 4th quarter. Holy shit some of y’all are outta control. Get off the mans dick it’s embarrassing.

Not looking like the 417 to me. And I know for a fact there isn’t an all black 417 dropping this year.

Anyone know when the numeric 480 is dropping?

how's the break in for 440s?

I have a pair now that's a little tight -- can't imagine going up a half size. The biggest piece that bugs me out of the box is the slight pressure on the inside arch. should i expect that to pack out a bit or do these just not work for my feet?

I'd chill in them for a week or two then they're pretty perfect!

I walked around in mine for a couple weeks before skating them.  I had pulled the insole out because it's a literal napkin, tried using a pair of FP's I have but they're just a bit too big, but threw some Vans Popcush insoles in and once they flattened out a bit I've had no issues.

They stretch out though- I didn't have issues with the arch, for me it was the outside toe box, my little toe got a blister the first few days I wore them.

Absolutely love them (I have the 440 High) now, best skate shoe I've owned in a long ass time.

Yup, I did the same exact thing with mine. They were a little tight on my toes straight out of the box but stretched out within two weeks or so. I also threw Popcush insoles in mine after they broke in and they felt so much better than the stock insole.

I walk around in my 440s for a day and in ~30min of skating they're great. They will soften up over time of course.

[sharkin]

Thanks pals I’m wearing them around for a few days we’ll see how it goes

Grey Day 808s look good

[Kook Me Amadeus]

I’m gonna go ahead and assume Reynolds is like a lot of us somewhat wide footed folk and he’ll sprinkle his pixie dust on the 440’s and make them more like 1010’s.  Little more breathing room in the midfoot - like a KSL - subtle adjustments is all we’re talking here, everyone can be happy!  It would open the shoe up to an even wider audience    In addition to Reynolds’ own shoe… Even though I’m sure that isn’t what everyone wants, it’s what I’m sincerely hoping.

[KBizzle]

Grey Day 808s look incredible, sheesh!

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

How do those seams in the Ollie zone on the 808s hold up for people? Super glue of course, but I always wonder this about Ollie area seams on certain shoes. I think I’ll end up trying them anyway.

808 don't need super glue in my experience

NB# 480 from Justin Henry’s story.

Haven't tried any NB# before but I'm hyped on Reynolds and Henry being on the team so I ordered some 1010's on sale yesterday, excited to check them out

I bought them from Daddie's board shop for like $68, anyone with feet smaller than size 8 could get some on joesnewbalanceoutlet.com right now for around $50. They've got some of the other skate models on there too but idk what sizes are available.

reynolds pro shoe leak!!!!

[OhioGuy]

The fit is more snug on the 440 lows, but I’ve been grabbing them over my highs lately. Just cause they’re easier to put on and kinda look better with my fitted pants/has more of a summer causal Dad vibe.

For the V2s they should give the highs a pull tab or something, just to make them easier to slip on. Maybe do what the vans Lizzie does and have it go down to show the logo.

These are super old AM101's (non-Numeric) that came out of our design office in like 2017 I think.  Walmart.com is basically like ebay/Amazon so it's always odd when stuff shows up on there and makes it look like a company actually sold their stuff to Walmart when they didn't. 

[Fongstarr.]

[WashingtonNECKTIE]

Sort of random, but I'm interested in what NB has to offer, specifically the 508

Has anyone tried popping the N off the side wall? I wouldn't mind if it was the same color as the rest of the upper, but they always have it as a contrasting color and it throws me off

This just solved the mystery of what slip on Jake Hayes was skating in that deathwish part years ago . I always wondered about that

Grey Day 808s look good

These look awesome. I have the grey day 1010s. Also, I just got my first 808s in wheat. They feel so much better in my opinion.

Did they omit the fantom fit on these like the rone collab?

Grey Day 808s look good

These look so amazing love that they gave these the iconic grey cw. Told myself I wasn’t going to buy more shoes to skate in but I’m always rolling up to the spot in a grey 990 anyways so might as well add this to my rotation.

Are they dropping tomorrow?

I think they're supposed to release tomorrow but Premier already has them in super limited sizes left:
