Any numeric release for the gray day? Maybe the 480, 574 or the 600 this year...

[dstrytruitt]

First session in 440 v2 and I’m really digging them. I’ve been skating the 480 and while it’s great I like the added boardfeel of the 440 while still not sacrificing support for my old hips and back with the solid arch support.

sorta random question, but noticed Westgate and other riders wearing a NB# grey crewneck with embroidered chest logo, will NB ever drop numeric apparel for the public?

love me some minimal grey crewnecks and that NB# one would go great with like 90% of my collection.

Funny you should ask that, reps are selling in apparel as we speak and it is slated to hit around Feb 2025.

We have a VERY small amount of something coming for later in May Grey day.  It's a cool project but very minimal stock so only a handful of stores will have it.  Stay tuned as it gets closer.

Oh damn, those are looking real good. I'm skating a pair of the white and red ones right now and they skate well, plus I get a lot of compliments on them lol. Might have to pick up that black pair eventually

Gotta stop buying shoes, but this Black Suede/Gum ones are literally my dream shoe. Only way they could be better is if the N was completely blacked out. Which I can do with a marker 🤭

I just saw the Clay Leos and said I didn't need them, but wanted them, and was gonna try like hell to wait until those went on sale.

Then I saw the black/gum 480 highs...I'd buy those at full price.

Wow those are nice.
How bulky is the upper section on these when laced up?
I’m a fan of how the 440HIs tuck into tapered pant legs, cant tell if these would do the same

[rikki]

Started to get sore feet with my hella worn-out 600s. Great shoe, but starts to feel a bit flimsy and thin towards the end of its lifecycle. Which goes for a lot of shoes, I guess.

So it was time to break in my 480s that have been on ice for a while now. Like them a whole lot. No more sore feet. They def feel bulkier, but not to the extent that I can't get used to it. Impact protection is great. Break in time and boardfeel not as bad as some people say. No need to put in an aftermarket insole (like I felt I had to do with the 600s after they started to wear down). I think they're a keeper.

They're decently bulkier than my 440 highs were. They still manage to tuck into my pant legs for the most part, but I have to lace them up all the way to do that. I don't mind since I always skate my high tops laced up all the way but I could see some people not being into them. I can try to post a clip of me wearing them with 550s if you're interested in how they look lol

[chillclinton87]

fucking aaayyyyyyyy......gotta grab some of the white/ grey 480 highs.....i'm a sucker for white leather!

my wallet hates me.

[nollieboulala]

[moonordie]

Lakers / Celtics 480 arrived to EU so now the question is which one to get. Anybody tried them? I like better Lakers one I think but leather is little of a turn off for me.

100% copping these.

I was late to the party and missed the white/grey

Anyone have a pic of those?

[beecee]

mmmm those look so good

[rikki]

Two sessions so far with the 480. These bad boys take more time breaking in than e.g. the 440 or 600. Upon first impression the 480 felt a tad bulky and lacking boardfeel, but I think they're starting to work.

Definitely not for the "thin" shoe folks -- coming from a worn-down 600 the 480 feels like a space boot. But I'm starting to like 'em quite a lot. Some more miles and they're probably gonna be aight.

Just saw these on the NB site. I guess they are dropping on the grey day this month whenever that is. Soccer/skate shoe hybrid. I personally wouldnt wear them but i feel like alot of people would like them.

This is interesting from a branding standpoint. Doesn’t appear to have Numeric branding. Did the designers on the main team just design a skate shoe for fun?

I know you don’t have the answers. Just thinking out loud here.

I have some low, soccer inspired adidas skate shoes and I’m convinced I’ll roll an ankle if I ever skate them. These give me the same vibe. Too low for me.
