New Balance # containment thread

[mindfuzz]

A few new colorways of the 1010 are up on the NB site

Damn these are all so good. I don't need more shoes but I certainly want more now.

[Trilogy]

I love this ones!

Black/gum is always an amazing colorway for a skateboarding shoe.

[MetalAnkleMan]

I love how NB constantly puts out color ways, it puts me in a pattern to always be checking NB to see the new color ways of whats dropping, great business strategy to keep people interested

[Lukabrazi]

please never stop making the 1010 New Balance .

Black/gum 1010 made me cry a little bit.

Shoe needs to get the Busenitz treatment and just be staple in their lineup forever. They struck gold with that design

[George Lucius]

Hi. I’m angling to get my son George Junior on a skateboard (training) soon and was wondering if New Balance Numeric has any skate shoes available for toddlers? He is 12 months now and already walking. I want him to be protected. Absolutely open to other brands, I thought NB would have good support etc.

[tom]

Great timing for me to cycle back into thinking the Tiagos are the best skate shoe. I was trying to hold off on buying more new shoes until the end of the year, but might make an exception for these ones

+ 1, same, goes for the 808. Those 2 shoes are perfection.

When are the 480 dropping? I need new shoes but I can wait for the grey/white colorway

Imma get a pair of the non skate ones and see what’s up, cause I can’t wait, and I like that action leather or whatever, but yea it looked like even the boss was wearing a pair of brown suede ones, looks like a good ass shoe, similar to a decon dunk for the #NB crowd I am really digging the new colors as well

[Fartknocker415]

Those 480 look so sick. After copping some 1010s I will say I prefer this shoe over the 808. I haven't skated them so this is solely based on chilling. Much more comfy chill shoe.

For me is the opposite. Skated both but I prefer 808, 1010 is a great shoe nonetheless

Anyone ever have an issue with 440’s footbed separating from the outsole? The rest of the shoe is still in pretty good condition

[Fartknocker415]

574 vulc looks nice

[FROTHY]

Skated 440 highs with FP insoles daily for a week and my feet were in agony. I was on a trip so I couldn’t switch. Got back and swapped the FPs for G6 insoles and the difference was night and day. Skated today with no foot or leg soreness.

[slapattack]

damn that 480 toe box shape looks perfect. NEED!

G6 insoles are amazing I’d also recommended the abzorb insole that comes in the Jamie foy shoe

I skate the 440 and 440 high religiously and am in constant turmoil trying to find the perfect insoles to match the shoe and my foot type. I keep insoles from a lot of my old shoes from the last 5-10 years, as insane as it sounds it has helped so much when it comes to experimenting with what works.

Right now i am running some Nike SB insoles from a pair of PROD 3's and i think the common issue is that there is a lack of arch support in the regular NB insoles and the best alternative I had was the Tiago 1010. Am about to buy some FP insoles because I thought that would be the best option for impact protection, I would like to know what it is that felt so bad about them in the 440 and why the G6 is a better option

EDIT: A worry I have with the G6 is that it would make my heel to high in the 440 low and mean my foot is more prone to slipping out the back of shoe.

[YeoWhattup]

I put the Jamie foy absorb insole in my 440 highs on Go Skate Day and it caused me so much heel pain that I’m still dealing with it today. It’s bearable now but man do I regret putting those insoles in. Using Dunk insoles now and so far so good

While the G6 didn’t really feel like it was going to do anything special when I tried them walking around my house, I noticed that my feet and legs were much more comfortable during and after skating than the FPs. G6 did not alter the heel lock or cause instability, and I tie my shoes pretty loose. While FPs can absorb shock, they’re hard as fuck and don’t provide any energy return. Pretty sure that’s why they made my feet so tired and sore - their only job is to deaden the energy from your feet. That might suite a big impact skater well though.

There's a reason no other shoe company uses the FP style foam...

And it's not anything to do with patents since we all know they ordered a bulk purchase on AliExpress.

I saw someone in that tennis thread refer to FPs as "ARTi-LAGE" so I looked it up.

I thought FPs were using some proprietary, patented formula but I guess they're actually just some random insole that anyone can buy in bulk.

I had this exact problem with the recent white/burgundy model. Got in touch with the store and they got a refund from NB. I hope they fix it for future batches. Good luck!

That's sick that you were able to get it refunded, unfortunately I picked mine up from 303 while on vacation so I likely wont have the same luck haha. I really loved the flick on them so maybe I'll just wait a few months for them to fix the issue before picking up another pair.

You should probably message @rothdigga some pics.
I’m sure if it’s a manufacturing defect, he’d sort it out for you.

[moonordie]

Please NB# never stop making 808. Is the only shoe I can skate, even 1010 feel too close to the ground for me.
