I hope those black Poets don't have the horrible long suede the white ones had that looked like Terry cloth and flakes off with your thumb nail.

Was this Reynolds UFO (unidentified footwear offering) ever properly ID’ed? 

New 440? 

Or just a sample?

[close]

what is wrong with some of ya'll's eyeballs???

Seriously. It’s clearly an  808 , I don’t even know how you get a 440 from this in the least.

 I have been wondering what a Reynolds colorway would look like for be NB and damn this is pretty good . Blacked out with a rubber toe cap giving me this is skateboarding vibes

Weird question maybe, but does the 1010s have a softer sole than the 808s? I want impact protection, but a little bounce in the soles. 808s are so hard that I’m partly convinced they’re the reason I have shin splints all of a sudden.

1010 are a tiny softer I'd say

Definitely softer and more flexible compared to the 808.

Size 10 for the 440 is a perfect fit for me. Can I expect the 508 to fit similarly?

Yup, same fit in my experience

Is it bad that I want some white nb shoes I can stain up green while mowing the lawn then skate in them? Is that allowed?

Dude white shoes look best when they're all stained and grimy, I'll stand by that.

Don't know if this is a numeric version, but this 480 on Jack Curtin's story today looks nicer than the normal ones.

Can't understand how people can skate 440, tried them for one hour and my feet got sore straight away.

You mean they're too thin or what? I've been skating them exclusively lately without any problems. What foot type are you, flat or more arch?

Probably the answer to that question is bitch foot.

Is there a 440 collab with a UK shop coming out soon?   I thought I saw a premiere announcement on IG but I forgot the name of the shop so I can’t really track it back down

[close]

Yeah, there's a shop called Welcome in Leeds (not to be confused with Welcome the company) out there we're doing a 440 with that a few people have teased on social.  I only brought in a tiny amount for the US so it's mostly a UK launch.

[close]

Ah bummer.  I like some of the customizations they added like the stars, tongue tag and the stripes hah.   Can’t quite tell what exact color the shoe is (off white or light tan?) but either way looks reaaal nice

looks like like they're going up for sale on the 20th on the nb site if you haven't tracked any down

Oh awesome.  Rothdigga was going to try and set me up with a shop that managed to carry them, but this is a good back up just in case none are local

I guess so. Your foot structure and strength matters not just the shoes you skate. Hope you find a shoe that works for you or maybe get a more supportive insole.
