Following up after my post a while back. After years of being cupsole curious, I finally decided to try out the 440 V2 but was bummed that the wides sold out instantly on the NB site. I checked again a few days ago and the new black/gum colorway had ONE more wide in my size, so I bit the bullet.
Got them yesterday, and am excited to skate them soon. This will be, without a doubt, the most radical departure in my skating setup in more than a decade. I can’t remember life skating before vulcs.
Only complaint is they only came with one set of laces. Pretty disappointing considering how skater-first NB Numeric is.
