480 low colorways for 2024? I got the Reynolds but don’t want to skate in them, would love an all black 480. Anybody got info please share

[close]

Haven’t seen any new colors. They had non-stop drops since August. Hopefully they don’t slow down too much in 2024.

can confirm there are inline colors of 480s coming in 2024. a mostly black and mostly white one (both suede with gum sole)

Finally got myself a pair of 1010s, width and fit wise they feel great but length wise they feel 0.25 size bigger. I can't shimmy my feet forward within the shoe though pressing down at the toes does give about a thumb's worth of space. Worth sizing down for the next pair?

[close]

I feel like the upper can take a bit to break in with the 1010s as long as your toes aren’t cramped I’d wear/skate them a bit to see how they soften up

[close]

I would say let them stretch/soften up. I regrettably sized up and feel like I have way too much room now. I bought a second pair of 1010’s in my regular size and they feel perfect now. The 1010 is my favorite shoe I’ve even worn.

Both of these answers seem to think you got 1010's that felt too small. I would say size down if they are one of the 1010's with mesh at the toe and tts if they are all suede or leather. The mesh gives more leeway in terms of stretch and would probably feel good if your current pair feels too big.

Just picked up a pair of the Wheat/Navy 1010's on clearance. Added a sticker to the cart to get free shipping, $75 shipped from SPoT

[Coffee]

A couple days ago I jumped on some heavily discounted 1010’s online, $55 to be exact. Got them in today, sending them back tomorrow. They look great but the arch support inside was super uncomfortable for me. NB is 0 for 2 on cupsoles for me between the 1010 and the 508. Vulcs are 2 for 2 with the 574 and 272 but I’m old and can’t skate thin shoes. Probably going to grab the 288 sports my local shop has on sale.

the arch support hurt for me the first week just walking
gotta let them break in
you are doing yourself a disservice by being impatient
and im not old

[tzhangdox]

The arch is one of my favourite things about the 1010s. The only shoes I skate nowadays where I don't replace the insoles for some with arch support.

If its too much, and you have flat ortholite insoles from other NBs like the 440s or 508s etc (or anything similar), putting those in the 1010s will make the arch support less aggressive

At $55 I’d recommend just keeping them and wearing them until they break in. Give them a try. More than likely they’ll feel great after a few wears. I wasn’t really hyped on mine the first couple wears but they quickly became my favorite shoe. Maybe swap out the insoles with another pair you have.  I feel like you’re just about to strike gold but you stopped digging right before you get there. That’s how 1010’s were for me. I almost decided I didn’t like them and then boom, they just clicked. My feet and back don’t hurt after the sesh, they skate really well, and they look pretty cool.

I thought about it but I tried that with another pair of shoes earlier this year that also had an arch support that was uncomfortable to me and after two weeks of wearing them all it did was give me feet, knee, and back pain. The black and gum 600’s have caught my eye so I might hold out for a sale in them.

Looks like Anchor has a Reynolds 480 size 9 US on sale right now. I didn’t check shipping but $30 off retail is still a great deal.

Shipping showing $7.99 for me to the northeast. not bad not bad

Found the all black 1010 at a local (surf) shop for $55 the other day. The color I wanted most for cheaper than I’ve been able to find online, I was fired the fuck up. This pair also fits a thousand times better than the grey/blue/yellow I had from early on. The heel pads actually work for me and the tongue feels just a bit more filled out. Perfect shoes, unfortunately these 508s I recently bought might get passed over.

[Coastal Fever]

Can anyone who’s tried the 574s speak on the length and arch height?  I felt like the 440s I had to half size down, but the 306 was TTS lengthwise.  And hoping they’re reasonably flat arched like the 306s instead of crazy high like the 1010s.  Just doing research before trying to special order the wides.

[Mongo Lloyd]

The new Black/yellow 808’s are straight fire.

My 45yo feet say the same thing, plus no more vulcanized shoes, please.

Concepts has more color ways, but less free shipping. The sale 808’s end up being $52.80. Some of those color ways call to me, but I can only afford the ones from Zappos…

I saw them on foot on someone in Cowtown the other day ... look really good

[kneebone]

I think the v2 of the high is a significant improvement over the original, but the low now looks more like a classic skate shoe (almost Emerica Heritic-esque) rather than a classic court shoe. I see why some would prefer it to look like a skate shoe, but I just prefer the court shoe look.
