Quote from: finecojeffe on November 29, 2023, 06:16:21 AMExpand QuoteI've been skating the 440's a lot lately and have noticed an odd effect the shape of the sole has on certain tricks. Specifically the inside heel part just after the curve in the arch area seems a little more prominent than in many of my other shoes I own and it's been cause me problems with crooks mostly. Like the foot position I place needs to be modified but I keep hitting the pocket with that part of the shoe and it just gets stuck there. I think the wider heel is comfortable, but in the upcoming V2 I'm hoping the outsole is a tiny bit slimmer. It's a weird hope maybe. Other than that they seem to have the best flick of probably any other shoe I've had. I've accepted that my crooked grinds are going to be a tiny bit shorter in them.[close]If that's causing a problem with your crooks then your technique needs work. I've been doing them in any and every type of shoe imaginable for years and never, ever has the shoe influenced how far I grind or do that trick.

This is the first I've heard and seen of this shoe and it looks awesome. I'll definitely cop if I see a colourway I like. Optimally with a thin gum sole...

Hey anyone know who to holler at for a defect? I checked the website but i didn't order the shoes directly from NB. I never skated these and the toe is splitting a part from the sole.

I know I sound like a broken record regarding ying/yang in EU but I was checking SkateDeluxe and they got the colors that come after (and at a higher price) but no ying/Yangs

Just bought a pair couple of weeks ago from my local up here in Viking zone, still on ice, waiting for spring probably. Felt f*cking good on my feet.

Just here for the new wide size 574’s. Been out of production for far too long.
Found some nice 288s online, are they TTS?

Been out of production for far too long.[close]Tried on some wide non-# NBs yesterday and almost cried when I realized shoes could feel truly good and not just tolerable. I’m probably going to toss/sell my whole collection and replace them with strictly 2Es. Will 100% be buying some wide 574s once available.
