Maybe cause it's that smooth leather and the adhesive doesn't stick well to it on the edges? Haven't worn my Reynolds yet so can't give any more insight
Edit- just remembered seeing a post on here comparing them but aren't the 480 Reynolds toe a bit modified from the previous 2 480 cw? Could be the sole is made for a bit more material to be stretched out to fill that tiny gap.
You might be talking about this photo that I posted:
The toebox on the Reynolds looks more square, but it’s probably an illusion due to the color.
I just wanted to comment on this, since I just received my 480’s.
In the same box my left shoe of the pair has a squarer toe than the right. So it’s not so much differing colorway to colorway, but just individual shoe to shoe.
It also looks like the left shoe I received is going to develop the delaminating issue others have posted here. I’m yet to skate or even wear them, but it looks like there is already a separation occurring.
