I just gotta say again that I love NB skate shoes to no end. Never wore them before in any other context, but tried a pair of 440s last winter and boy did they feel amazing compared to any other shoe before that. I know shoes are a highly individual thing, but still. There's something there. Got a fresh pair of 508s in the box waiting for me, can't say that my expectations are low with those either. Thank you NB for what you are doing with skating, it's really something special I think.
