Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Hyped I just bought those. Colorway reminds me of a vans shoe I had when I was 10 that I loved.

For any of you who skate the 440v2 but require an insole upgrade, what have you all been using? I like the shoe but I need something a little better than the stock insole.
How much for an order of ribs?

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

After the 1010 and the 600, I’d be kinda lost to figure out what to bring to the table for NB# that those two didn’t already nail

If anyone has enough clout to make a model without the signature "N," it would be Reynolds. I get its their branding but a solid cupsole option that doesn't have a giant logo would sell to an audience that likes everything about the product but the logo.

I can live with the logo but it's always nagging at me. And for some reason, cutting it off also feels wrong.

I’ve been trying to figure out what he’s gonna do with a shoe from 440 to 1010 you really have your bases covered . I could see him trying to do something that straddles the line between performance skate shoe and great everyday shoe with how much he’s been posting and liking posts with nb lifestyle shoes. a skate shoe you could walk all day in and not wanna take off after the sesh could be great crossover hit for the NB

Copped a pair from Orchard. I love that this shoe is a nod to the 990v3, which is one of favorite sillouettes to wear at work. Huge contender for shoe of the year in my opinion

I tried searching this thread but couldn't find a direct answer. How does NB sizing compare to Vans? I wear a size 9, usually half cabs, looking to get some 440 highs. Should I size up or down or stick with a 9?

Stick with a 9, the 440 Highs run a little bit long. I wear a 10 in Cabs and I have a pair of 440 Highs in 10.5 that are just a smidgen too big, they feel better with thicker socks on foot. Version 1 I mean btw I haven't tried the v2's

I've cut the N off a few different models. Its easy and I like the way the stitching still leaves a faint outline. Sharp blade. no worries.

I understand it's easy but my unreasonable mind doesn't let me make make mods like that. I also think its silly I can't do it.
