The grey days.  Still surprised by that.  I thought NB Grey was a very specific color, but I like a dark grey shoe

i swear to god these look just look circa muska cm703's

Time to go to the optometrist.

Looks like this shoe might be a lace ripper judging by the replacement lace and that theyre tied decently snug.

Never judge how a shoe/laces look when it's on Drew's feet...ha.  He LOVES a good footballed out shoe so you gotta take that into consideration.

The Reynolds gonna free me from my “no new skate shoes in 2025” rule. The backlog can wait lol

Well hes saying that the laces look tight and higher out off the grip tape zone and it still seems rippable judging by the swap. So for us mear mortals who wear them looser, it might be more prone to ripping? We shall see.

Drew just likes to customize his shoes, I’d be shocked if the lace swap was because they broke and not because he was being artsy. Could be wrong, but he does love a good customization

Hey @rothdigga when can we expect the release of the 933 and the 430 here in Europe? I wanna know if I should wait for the release of these or get some new shoes soon.

I believe he said that EU launch will be on par with US on 18.4 if I'm not mistaken.

[DeanMaple]

Where is this dude now?

NB# is the worst of all. I'd wear D3s before I ever put those fuckin grandpa shoes on my feet.

[moonordie]

@3:14 a glimpse of 933

[moonordie]

Not likely to have any luck but let's see: Anybody knows (in the EU) where to find US: 8 (maybe even 8.5) 600 smurfs? I still can't believe I let them pass...

village psychic 1010 coming soon, photos in @serifsnyc story. sorry, don't know how to post a photo from IG on here

[Fartknocker415]

 the new balance reps vehemently denying the lace rip factor on these got me chuckling tho

[moonordie]

Tried the 600 in my regular size and I'm not sure if I'm having a 808 situation in here meaning that my size kinda works but it feels that + .5 would be better.
Anybody care to share their experience? It would be greatly appreciated.

Yep. I’m a size 11 in just about everything, except the 808 and the 600. Have to size up to 11.5. The annoying thing is the 600 feels a little long in that size, but I just can’t make the 11 work. Hoping all the talk I heard at Slow Impact about them using a different last for the 933 means that shoe will fit better.

It's known that the 600 can feel a tad narrow around the forefoot. If you have any doubts, I'm pretty sure +0.5 will be good for you. I skate them TTS but could probably enjoy them as much going up half a size.

Thank you all for the kind replies and yes, it feels that 600 works ok tts but + .5 is a little better but not perfect. +.25 would be perfect

Out today, but in very limited supply.  Only 574 pairs of each colorway made

Sizing is weird for me as well. 808 i have to have in 9. 600 in a 9 as well, or my toes will not have much wiggle room. 440 has to be 9 as well. 480 has to be 8.5. Same with the 1010 and the foy.

[Mc89]

I found something interesting about the 808’s.

Typically I’m between a 9.5 and 10 in most models.

440V2, 600, 1010 (colourway and material dependant), 508 - size 9.5

808, 1010 (usually suede versions) - sz 10

I noticed when I took the insole out of the size 10 808’s the insole is sized for 8.5-9.5  The 10.5 has the 10-11 insole.

The sizing on the 808 is odd and messes with me however It’s by far my favourite skate shoe of recent years

808s have worked great for me but can take long time to break in properly and odd fit at first. Im kinda worried how the new version will feel...

[gaunting]

psyched to get these beauties in the mail Wednesday. 😝

haven’t had a chance to try the V2 ones yet.

The Reynolds shoe looks like a "dad's" New Balance, much in the way that both Tiago shoes do not.

When 1010 first came out, on that white cw, everybody was taking a dump on how bad the look and that it was the ultimate dad shoe ever.

Waiting for them, when I went into their website I got an extra 25% so at the end I paid 64.5€ with shipping. Thanks again!
