Guys, just wanted to be fully transparent to our SLAP homies, give you a peek behind the curtain and let you all know that we indeed had to push the 933 Reynolds shoe launch back to mid-April.  There was a factory production mistake that would have compromised the durability of the shoe and unfortunately, the only solution is to push the launch back 2 months and get them re-made.  We're definitely NOT going to put out a Reynolds shoe that isn't as good as we can make it, so this was the best solution.  Both launch colors will come out now currently planned for Friday 4/18.  I know that's a bummer for you all, but at least you'll now get imagery (per the Thrasher cover and more to come) from here on out.  Thanks for all the love on here and understanding.

Are you coming to Slow Impact? I was hoping there was going to be a secret reveal there but this cover photo made me feel like a kid again.

What was the durability issue? Part of the sole, part of the upper?

Pretty wholesome seeing The Boss's reaction to getting the cover

The sole looks pretty wide so I'm praying its a wider fit, great job NB!!

This. Might got back to cupsoles.

Hoping the sole is close to the 1010. Will definitely grab a pair in the future if so, and if wide enough

Speaking of, are they going to be available in the EU also on 4.18? On 26th it will be my 40th bday and timing looks just perfect.

That is totally understandable. We waited this long, we can wait a little more for quality assurance. Also remember to order 10.5's for North America  ;)

Another couple months isn’t going to hurt to get it right on such a highly anticipated shoe.  It’s pretty admirable that NB# has the integrity to do so instead of rolling out a flawed product. I’ll go ahead and grab a pair of 508’s to hold me over until then.

Will there be an ad with the shoe in Thrasher before April? I have to imagine this recent Reynolds cover was strategic so it coincided with his shoe release

Initial reaction to the toe of the shoe was 'ehhmmmm'... but I think I actually dig it a whole lot. Flick-enhancing potential?

Runner toes are the best thing ever. I remember how much I loved my Westgate G6

Big YES on the runner toe! I love athletic looking skate shoes and it just makes sense for a NB# pinnacle shoe...
@rothdigga was it Jeff behind the design of these?
