@rothdigga , is there anyway for us to get those big NB# decals, or are they only for elites, like the Emerica nose sticker?

[MusclesMarinara]

So I've read several reviews and used the search function for the 272. Is it truly half size down? Also they don't have tongue straps? So does the tongue move around a lot? I have a pair of Rowleys right now and the lack of tongue straps has driven me nuts. I tried several different looping and ties to keep the tongue centered and had no luck. I'm ready to just toss them over a power line. Also is the 306 just a better overall option? Seems super similar and has tongue straps as well.

I’ve purchased 2 pairs of 272’s and they were TTS.

I think I’ve seen them for sale occasionally from skateboardstickers.com
They seem to sell out pretty quick though.

The full all black ones or the stencil ones?  I do send stickers to shops when they have events but we don't sell stickers to shops currently so it's more of a find it if you can kind of thing.  What's your local shop?

The ones on JP's board throughout this part. It's just an all-black or all-white "NB#" decal. Skateshop is loco, in Colorado. Just started carrying NBs.

[Frank and Fred]

I love NB Numeric but I don't think I could put a sticker on my board like that. Sometimes I cut the N off my 212/ 213s also for a cleaner look.

Why do you want to look sponsored?

I've always liked nascar.

[OhioGuy]

Gonna go back to the 808s. Love the 440s, but I haven't been able to commit to my tricks lately. So my back foot is slamming into the ground (A LOT). Right where the ball of the foot is. Which sucks on the 440s cause they're like vulcs in that area with very little impact protection. Great for board feel, but not much else. My old knees need a break.

Anyone got any idea what colors are dropping in June for the 808 and 1010?

[moonordie]

I didn't liked the green 417 until I saw this video of a friend destroying them in Germany,  Can't believe this guy is the classic example of a great skateboarder with no sponsor hook up.

Anyone else find that the laces on the 808’s are a little short?  The shoes fit great but I can’t tie the ends.

jup, think that was the consensus.....i'm with you on that.

plan on skating the 808 or 1010s i have next, might walk my dog in the 808s to finally break them in- if they ever will

Edit: anybody that had the 868 and 808 and can mybe compare them?

i think they are wuite similar when it comes to the volume of the shoe and i remember the 868 sole to be hella stiff on the first da but breaking in a liiiiitle bit over time at least. 

[Atiba Applebum]

@rothdigga finally gonna bite the bullet and try some NBs after Reynolds EMB post today. Are any grey 1010s returning?

I skipped a pair of the middle lace loops to get some more lace length and because there was a little bit too much pressure on top of my foot originally. Feels a lot better, the laces are easier to use and they dont look wack either.

I have a deadstock pair of 868s and while they are stiff, the sole and upper is way thinner and much more flexible than the 808. 868 is like if you put the best of 1010 and 808 together. Wish they'd come back.

[YeoWhattup]

My buddy and I been talking about the 868 a lot lately, would be nice if they came back

Just managed to cop a pair off fleabay for £15, oddly enough they didn't fit TTS like the other pair. I think the seller kept them somewhere, where they got squashed as the toe box was weird on the right shoe. Completely fine after walking about with them thankfully.

I wonder if they could come back and sell well, seeing as the market has a lot of tech shoes? Or is that just dreamin'?
