I really hope the new 808s will be released in the same all black colorway as the og shoe. I would wear nothing else.

[juniormint]

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know where to get hold of size 14 1010s, 440s or 808s in Australia?

Anyone in here going to Slow Impact in AZ?  If so, our shoe designer, Jeff Mikut is doing a panel presentation and discussion on the Reynolds 933 design process.  So if you're on the fence about going and are interested in that deep deep nerd shoe design stuff, it would be worth attending for that.

Aha I’m just kidding, was continuing the Simpsons reference. Yeah it’s an option if a pair was cheap enough.

[Atiba Applebum]

If I had photoshop skills I would def put a 1010 on that Simpsons character

[soot_yawd]

@rothdigga I’ve been digging the redesigned 1010 heel pods. How about re-releasing the brown/wheat & green colorway? The previous release with the old heel pods never fit me right.

hahaha would gnar if I could. And thanks for the Orchard find, still too pricey once everything is converted, appreciated nonetheless. I think I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope NB start selling 14s in here in oz.

[Atiba Applebum]

NB should have released pictures and info on the Reynolds shoe shortly after the thrasher cover. The hype for me has kinda came and went from waiting so long.

I’m sure the original plan was to do that with Slow Impact happening as part of the press tour, but they had to push the release of the shoe which likely fucked up their release calendar so they have to sustain interest over a 4 month period instead of 1

For me it’s doing the opposite. Even if they released another teaser with new info on the shoe it’s probably reignite my interest, but it feels like it’s been dragging on too long now.

I’m sure when Slow Impact happens and everyone sees everything you’ll forget all about being annoyed at having to wait and then we can find the new thing

Cats outta the bag, just show the shoe fully. It’s gonna sell like gangbusters regardless.

I just marked down some 14's on our site. Hopefully cheap enough to make up for the expensive shipping to Australia. Felt it was the right thing to do seeing that Americo-Australianian relations are at an all-time low.

This might be a very specific case but anybody have a current pair of 480 lows that don't ankle roll for you really easily and had it roll at the launch colorways? It's the shoe I really want to make work cause the sole thickness and everything felt good except for the narrow heel coupled with how tall it is in the back. if the heel part of the heel was even just a couple mm wider it would be the perfect shoe for me. Wonder if there were any micro adjustments to the fit that made it more forgiving. It's a long shot but I feel like NB likes to make adjustments to the fit without announcing anything if it's not huge.

I had the yin yang ones (white w black sole) as well as the rust launch colourway and they were both about as rolly for me. I have the same issue as you, good shoe minus ankle stability and I think we're shit out of luck. They're probably not going to fundamentally change the fit

I had a pair of the launch (blue) color way as well as the current black/grey. I had issues with the narrowness of the heel comfort-wise but I didn't have any ankle roll issues. I made the shoes better (for me) by getting rid of the weird stock insoles and replacing them with insoles from my 440 v2. This made a difference. I recently went another step further and put in Move Gameday Baseline insoles. This made the shoes fully wearable/skateable for me.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried my pair of orange white launch colorways on without insoles and it indeed fits a bit more stable so maybe a diffrent insole will be good. Crazy looking at the heel of the stock insoles and that is how wide I guess normal people's heels are. The insoles literally taper to a couple inches wide to the heel.
