New Balance # containment thread

[pops]

Got my first pair of 440 v1 lows today. Previously skated the highs and Im just happy how well these lows fit. I prefer these over the highs even though my ankles are pretty much done.

[YeoWhattup]

Has anyone skated in the non Numeric 550 model of New Balance? They look like a great skate shoe not too bulky not too thin and also you can find stock on most websites selling for under $75

Yes I loved mine

Wondering if anyone else has had similar problem coming from the 440v1 to 440v2. Have had about 10 pairs of the v1 all size 8 all fit perfect. Picked up a pair of the v2 and shoe fits great other than my toes being cramped from the topside down under the new toe cap. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Reached out to NB before purchasing the v2 to see if sizing and fit was the same and was told it was. Then asked them if i could do an exchange for larger size and was told i would have to return the smaller pair then buy the larger pair. Smh. 🤦 wish my local carried NB so i wouldnt have to do the will it fit will it not buy exchange run around. So was the sizing funky for everyone else?

I ordered TTS and mine were pretty tight on the toes the first time I wore ‘em. I was able to remedy it by cramming tennis balls and other object into the toe box of the shoes and leave them for 24+ hours, then going for walks in them. Seems like they’re no less roomy than my v1s now. I know it’s bad for your feet but I’d always rather stretch a shoe to my foot than wear something too big when it comes to skate footwear.

Just got a pair of 440v2's in the new blue colorway and they look great! Got them in my normal size 10.5 but the toe box feels a bit big so I'm gonna try them in 10 and see which feels better. I generally go slightly small with skate shoes since they tend to stretch out over time.

Well i didj the two size run around on the 440v2 high   My regular size way too small and half size up waaay too big pretty bummed cause i love the 440 high. Guess ill have to stock up on the v1.

Any word on when the next 480 high colorways will drop?

Considering buying one more pair of the first colorway if it's not gonna be for a while.

But I'd prefer to skate a different color if possible haha.

Consider yourself lucky, I've been seeing a big lack of NB# love around here in the EU. I don't believe seeing the 480 high in here.

I think roth said that it would be May-ish for the next colorway and that it would be an all black pair

If that's the shoe you like skating, snag 1 more pair of the white/red from Holiday time to tide you over.  We should have 1 in May and then 2 good basic 480-hi for late May or early June.

440 with a 990v3 tongue, i’m intrigued

[Atiba Applebum]

Gray Day?

[Daydream]

Gray Day?

msy 12th. Wouldn’t really align

[arrbee]

If you’re a real NB head, you’re going to love these. Big 990 vibes. Also going to be very limited, act accordingly on the 10th.

410 made me sign an NDA so I can’t leak it. But maybe if you pressure him he will.

[arrbee]

Gray Day?

Collab…

Thought it was a collab for GD.   Didn’t know it had a hard and fast day (but I saw it above)

Can you give a hint at which shops might get it in the LA area?

It’s a shop collab not related to grey day. Just happens to be grey. Best bet out west, I think it’s supposed to hit the NB site.

makes sense it's for a collab with a shop in baltimore

[Pastasash]

the DMV made grey NBs ICONIC, definitely looking forward to this drop

[arrbee]

[Underpressureflips]

Even has the 990v3 font. Too bad they aren’t highs. I hope to see more 990 inspiration in future models.

Is been a while since last time we freaked out about what shoes Reynolds is wearing. At first I thought they were some 600 but then I wasn't sure 🤔
Also is 7:28am and I'm sleepy since the cat went berserk last night some maybe is some model I know but by brain is not computing.
Any thoughts?

Our NB buddies have assured us there won’t be leaks, so I’d rest assured there won’t be any this far out

Hah that’s fair, but even if we did find a leak, I think they’ll be completely blacked out these companies often do prototypes. 

I will say though, the 600 is a very worthy stopgap if you need something to last you until then
