New Balance # containment thread

Did someone at NB get cheated on by their partner with someone who wears 10.5? I swear there have been at least 3 releases where they didn't order that size from the factory.

Kinda wild to also just go ahead and release it without eating whatever cost and fulfilling the missing sizes.

Iirc it was one batch of orders that missed them.  The Reynolds 480s and I guess the 808 808s.

@Atiba Applebum how are the colors in person? Wanted a true grey day classic NB cw I guess - the contrasting greys threw me off. Gonna wait for better pics.

Honestly, in hand, there isn’t much contrast in the greys as some of the photos make it seem.  The toe cap and the mid panel are different types of suede that maybe photograph different, but I think they look good together.   And the top heel panel is 3M/reflective grey so it kinda blends, but then it pops a little bit different depending on the light. 

I don’t know if they still do grey days bc that awesome VU 440 wasn’t GD either iirc.

Never happened to my 600 or any other model. Manufacturing issue for sure.

How long do 1010 take to break in? Gotten a decent amount of casual wear hours but not loving em like how comfy the 600 was for me

In my experience after the 3rd session their magical powers are unlocked.

That's they're anti logo delete safety feature.

Prevents their shoes from looking cool if you remove the branding.

Pretty sure it uses some type of ai

I walked around in mine for two weeks and it still took a week of skating in them afterwards for them to feel fully broken in. But once I got there, they were perfect

Thanks for the replies guys. the heel cushion is actually somewhat annoying pre-break in I guess?


also, lost art 600 live

Happy with my Lost Arts   600s are about as tts a shoe as I’ve ever worn.   Just hugs my foot and heel so the lack of elastic strap has never been a big issue for me

Looks like denim on some of the panels?

From Premier in Grand Rapids: “New Balance Numeric has teamed up with Hong Kong's 8FIVE2 Shop to create the latest 480, dressed in suede and leather earth tones.”


@rothdigga - Are these dropping anywhere else? They’re all sold out at Premier.

That shoe looks like it has Vitiligo.

Fluorescent lighting made the off-white photograph a little yellow, but that’s not how it looks irl

Thanks for these photos. The colors look awesome here. It looks a bit different on the official website. Might cop a pair. Would be my 4th colorway of this shoe.

Yeah it seems really susceptible to lighting making it seem darker in places etc, but it looks like a normal grey shoe, nothing too wild

What's the midfoot on the 600s like? I can't skate the 480s because it's super narrow around the arch/mid. Might grab the lost arts if they're not as narrow.

Hmm I wear tts on the 600s and got a whole size down in the 480s, but think the 600s might be more narrow.  It feels fairly form fitting as a shoe

Random one that I've been curious about - what's Tom Knox's connection to Lost Art? I thought he was from London, so seems random that his shop has always been Lost Art in Liverpool instead of something like Slam City in London. Anyone?

[gig.]

Hey can anyone confirm here that the leather 600’s fits  different than the suede/mesh 600s? I saw somewhere that someone here mentioned the suede ones fit tighter than the leather

Thanks !

[JoseCansnake0]

I love the TK600's. On my second pair, tts, and can't believe I went through a vans slip on phase before this

Only leather I’ve worn is the release pair.  I don’t remember a significant difference post break-in
