480s with no “n” dont look half bad
might have to do this when i get my hands on some
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Well the grip foot killed it . It took 4 months. Daily skating. The switch foot is less. I don't drag my foot as much as most people. I'm a slider.


Nita lot of kickflips this time on account of the bad ankle in the beginning. Which is fully healed. And the last month on a 9" board.

Thousands of ollie's. That's probably no exaggeration.  The shoe still is basically the same shape as when it started. That fuckin crazy.

But yeah. My ankles feeling tops.

There was like shit floating around in tarsal /metatarsal joint. The cuboid or whatever was swollen and discolored since 2017. It would snap every time I stood up for like a decade.

I highly recommend to people in pain. After this next pair of 808s I'm definitely sticking with the Tiagos. I wanna try the 808.

I was thinking about the Ishod but I cannot gamble with my feet anymore. I wanna skate forever. Nothing has changed.

I'm going to the grave on with two up going backwards if possible.......

While playing guitar...

When I'm 110.

Yeah don’t try the new Ishods I skated in mine for 30 minutes max yesterday and my feet aren’t happy. They might be better with a new insole, but not worth trying.

That sucks. I figured with the big air max bubble it'd be sick. I had one pair of Nike cross trainers as a kid that I got second hand. They were comfy. Temporary tho. All through the 80s and 90s I had the mindset of.
No Nike. Not. Never.

I only like old orange insoles from the Decon.
They fuckin rule. I've put um in a few shoes.  It's the only insole Nike makes that protects the balls of your feet. Zoom doesn't do shit. I can't afford to fp insoles.

Also I'd only jump to buy the Af2. In black
It still would definitely need an fp. Especially coming off the 808. It would have to be an emergency.

The recycled rubber thing is kinda the best part. Aside from Ishod. Obviously the best part but I do wish more brands would get on it. Same with recycled boards

I got the V2’s yesterday. In my opinion the outsole feels exact same. Insole the same as well. The new rounded toe and higher toe cap is quite jarring coming the v1. Looking down at it visually they look very different
[close]

Well that sucks to hear. I was hoping for a 440 with improved sole cushioning closer to the 1010. I just want the 1010 sole with a less bulky upper.

The 480s or even 600s might fit the bill for you, depending on if you were looking for a low or hightop.

If you like the flick on the 440v1. The flick feels the same on the 480. You just have to break it in and deal with less boardfeel. I've gone trough 4-5 pairs of 440's and really like the 480.

just picked up some 480's today and some 1010's last week. This threads got me branching from the 288s

also

homie at the local gave a peak at the 440 v2 and they are gorgeous in person

i need to block myself from this thread

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Any idea if the new 440s fit the same? I've worn 9.5 in the 480s, 508s, and 272s, but went up to 10 in the 440 V1...
