288s are tts

[DanRar009]

Found some nice 288s online, are they TTS?

288s run a little big on me so I always go half a size down on em.

[moonordie]

Thx guy, gnarred.

[dstrytruitt]

Today's 480 drop looking nice.

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.

You have a really long thumb.


Is anything else particularly long that we should know about?

Just here for the new wide size 574’s. Been out of production for far too long.

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.

Skating without numb feet is essential. Get a shoe stretcher too it will help but damn it would be rad to be able to rock normal shoes. When I first found wide court 574 NB’s it felt like putting on a 20 year old skate shoe. Very basic. Cool to see how far the program has come. now I just need my wide sizes back.

A bunch of NB Numeric on sale plus code EX40 takes another 40% off. Pairs down to 30 some bucks

I think the code expired, do you happen to have another one? The deals are still good I'm just wondering. Thinking about the black and brown 440s and taking the N's off

Yeah that’s what I’m curious about too.   I think there was also a wide 440 teased (+ another model too?).  I want to say they’re coming early 2024 but I forgot what I read here now…

The all-black 440 v2 on Reynolds’ story the other day looks so sick…

[LebowskisRug]

The 600's have awesome heelflip flick. Breaking in nicely and hard to really choose between the 440 and 600.

Reynolds wearing the 480 high on his IG stories…def has Trujillo 80s rocker vibes to it.   Not quite sure who thats for at the moment

Judging by the pictures, I’d say his foot.

The people that bought high top Osiris' from Journeys in 2005-2007 but are grown up and realized the errors of their ways and have a more refined taste now.

[LebowskisRug]

@rothdigga any clues on upcoming 600 colorways? Really enjoying the shoe, curious what's next for it. I've had a ton of the all black 440, hoping there's a similar color in the lineup.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Shout out @dumptruck12 for the hookup on these 808s
Definitely gonna need some break in time but excited to give these a go.

Before it's gone

will this replace the cons fastbreaks?? idk we’ll wait n see

[LebowskisRug]

Quality will be far higher but these would look way better as a mid.

Not comparable TBH. 440s are closer to the them than the 480s. Fastbreaks are so thin, may as well wear vulcs 🥴

Got 3 colorways coming for Q1 24 (Jan drop), nothing all black but white/gum, a super sick blue and an olive. 
Q2/Summer you'll see an all white and a black/white kind of standard skate colorway. 
But if you wait until July 24, you'll finally get your all black 600. 

[soot_yawd]

Just finished watching Tom Knox's new Atlantic Drift part. Is this the super sick blue colorway @rothdigga is talking about? Take my $ now!

[LebowskisRug]

instant cop. Loving my black/white/gum ones so far.

[mini greek]

Those 480 Highs look great. Should’ve known they’d look better than the OG ones. Cant wait to see more colorways. Some predominantly black ones would be fire 🔥

Then you're in luck early next year...

Yeah, we have that one, an olive green/black sole, an off white suede/gum sole and then a black/white/grey leather, and a "matching" White/grey leather.
The blue one is dooooooope!

[Atiba Applebum]

I want a grey day 600 badly

[slapattack]

wait so is the 480 reynolds colorway dropping again or nah i thought i remember seeing confirmation of this a couple of pages ago

[MOE SYZLAK]

For anyone interested, this is how the 600 is wearing for me.
I’d say these are just a few days shy of a month skating 2-3 sessions per week 2-3 hours per session.
I do a lot of kickflips and these are holding up great. No rips or tears on any of the mesh parts. Grip is still great. Probably one of my favorite shoes in recent years.
I typically try not to promote or publicly endorse shoes from brands the shop doesn’t/ can’t carry, because honestly it doesn’t do me any favors, but damnit these are so damn good!
