Well it’s about a month out from the release of the Reynolds shoe. When can we start seeing any promo for the shoe? I expect a full breakdown video of the shoe similar to when Tiago got his first shoe

[close]

My uneducated guess would be April 1st. 

But I think they should give Ohtani a cleated pair to use for opening day (he’s on NB)

I remember 18.4 from some pages ago. Still don't know if that applies to the EU

Oh yesss, that looks like a nice shape. They are coming out soon? Thanks for the Insta embed mate.

Oh I meant April 1 as a guess when NB starts the hype train with official looks, etc

#430s are a budget shoe that look budget. I know that is harsh but I don’t see those looking good on anyone.

I was all about 212s. These 430s could be a good replacement for the discontinued 212.

Sorry to ask this, as I'm sure it is somewhere in these 383 pages, but how does the 600 fit compared to the 480?  The toe box in the 480 works for me, but I feel like the mid foot is a little too narrow.  Thanks.

600 fits like a glove for me

I agree with the budget part, they look ok enough.

[roba]

they look better than like 90% of the numeric line

[Mc89]

The 430’s look good to me! I don’t think NB makes any shoe without premium builds and materials. Jack curtains clip looked pretty good in them. Same with slew.

My only complaint is knowing how many hype colours and models are dropping soon and having to wait for em.

Tbf Jack Curtain makes every shoe look like a million bucks

[Theme For A Jackal]

Who would wear the shit out of those?
I know i would.

New Balance have made a lot of Dad shoes but might these be the first ever Unc shoes? Either way I unironically like them

[SprockingCrail]

I just noticed that a Foy 480 just popped up on the NB site. Looks promising, green with black and a bit of red.

These are awesome. I remember seeing him in some 480s in one of his video parts last year. Which was surprisingly because his shoes are vulcs. Wonder if he decided he needed more protection that day lol

Ordered two pairs immediately after seeing them. I’ve wanted a Foy cupsole for forever. This is as close as l’ll get for who knows how long, maybe ever. I love the 480. Still looking forward to the Reynolds though too. NB# always finding ways to take my money!

[marcusbutler]

Just coped the foy80's. Got them through tactics. NB# site has a wait on them. But I just put in an order through tactics and it went through.

[Atiba Applebum]

Foy80s at Kingswell

https://www.kingswell.tv/nb-numeric-x-jamie-foy-480-green-black.html

Also have the smores-ish 1010 colorway

[Rick Trapasso]

Copped the BP 480 highs. They feel nice/look great imo.

Let's get some normal 480 high colorways consistently available.

[MusclesMarinara]

Between the Reynolds and now those Foys, NB# might as well just get my direct deposit creds.

[Southernmost]

Skated in my Reynolds 480’s tonight, the brown ones. I didn’t hate them but also didn’t love them. Slightly bulky and stiff, not the best board feel. I’ll give them another try but might just wear them as chillers. I do think they look really good.

[WideFeet]

New retail launch date for the Reynold’s 933 is 4/25. First 2 colorways will be out at the same time.

Bummer. Also I'm tired of asking if that includes the EU

I have the off white ones. The leather is soft and they broke in pretty fast.  Try to break them in a bit more ?I do find the board feel to be better than on the asics for example now. I bought them really small and I guess it really helped (42.5 vs 44. For some weird reason I went down 3 sizes before feeling snug but not crushed).

I replaced straight away the insoles for superfeet - maybe it makes a board feel difference ?

I wish I had the brown one too tbh !

[fakiefs180]

I saw the new 430 is available on the US NB website. When can we expect these here in Europe? I think they look great.

The 600 was the perfect shoe when it launched. Now the tongue is a bit slimmer and my usual size feels too large where a half size down feels a bit too snug.

When I think about it, there are a few shoes where I would like to know when they are available in Europe.

933, 430 and 808L

933, is maybe April the 25th yeah?

Exactly how I feel about them. Never just there for me yet. I guess I'd have to skate them for like 20+ sessions to get them properly broke in, but I don't know. Need more boardfeel.

Others love them, though. The impact protection is awesome. Good thing NB# has a wide variety of options.

I have the Brown Reynolds 480s and love them. I skated the shit outta them and actually shoe goo'd them to squeeze some more like outta them because they were so nice. So, you know...send me yours if you hate them.
