New Balance # containment thread

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

Hypebeast streetwear types will love it, because it’s really made for them. They will gush about how many fire fits this shoe will work with. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Or maybe I’m old af fr

I don't think anyone will like these except europeans and dads. Stone island marina is Stone Island's less popular boat/yacht wear lifestyle line so thats probably why they chose a more low profile shoe closer to a sperry CVO deck shoe or vans era. All of the new balance x stone island shoes are pretty terrible and have no "hype" with the exception of one 991 released last year. Seems to me like they weren’t really made for the usual NB# crowd and it’s more just so stone island could borrow the 272 for a collaboration.

I like them. They remind me of Airwalk bowling shoes. I'm a dad by the way.  Full disclosure.

I received both colourways of the 808 lites today, and sadly that is a masterclass in how to really ruin a great thing.

Here are my notes:
Fit is the same as before in terms of length
No tongue centring straps
Not snug at all
Felt like it was flimsy in all the wrong places
The tongue unless tied so incredibly tight doesn’t feel good at all. The og 808 felt locked in, this doesn’t.
The sole is more flexible but not in a good way.
The new lacing system makes the toe feel stubby and too tall in the instep.

Overall the og 808 being my favourite shoe in recent years by a long shot has been taken down far too many notches and in my opinion is a total miss.

While it sucks to hear that the sizing is still weird, I have to say if the 808 was the perfect shoe for you, the 808 lite wasn’t made for you.

The 480 and 1010 feel similar in sole thickness to me. Both have just a little more sole meat than the 600, but they also both fit differently than the 600. A lot of people had heel lock problems in the 1010 and 'too narrow/fits weird' problems in the 480. 600 fits me great, and the other two don't really fit me at all, so I'd definitely try on before buying if possible.

[close]

Yeah the reason I asked in the first place is because on Weartested the 480 looks like it has a similar amount of cushioning to the 600 in the cross section photos and they're both Fuelcell midsoles. I guess maybe the rigidity of the sidewalls and the rest of the shoe are what makes it feel thicker or something.

The 600 fits me perfectly, I love the amount of boardfeel they have and they do have just about enough cushioning for me, so maybe I just found the perfect model first try and I should stick with them!

[close]

If the 600 fits you perfectly, the 480 def isn’t the shoe for you. It fits lower on your foot/heel which will feel different as it did for me because it doesn’t have that same feeling of holding your whole foot

[close]

Totally agree + homie said that he might have find his perfect shoe first try. Stick with the 600, I'd stay away from 480.  They're the shoe I like the least from all, my ankle feels not safe at all on them.

The 480 has a very brick like sole and a more classic/older cupsole feel. Your foot sits on top more than in the heel support as it does a 1010 or 600. I rolled my ankle super bad in my first few sessions with them and generally hated the shoe but like the 440, 600, and 1010.

For me the 600 is perfect. If you go to WearTested you'll see it has just a tiny bit more foam than a 440 and Al's fits the midfoot closer. Great flick, grip, and durability. Only prob is lots of the colorways suck. They don't seem to use the paneling much to make interesting variants like they do with the 808 or 1010 and lots of the colorways feel like 440 rejects. As a result I have a stockpile of white leather and the all black suede since they're the most neutral/best colors.

[douchenozzle]

I’m on my second pair of the 480’s (I got it without skating the first pair since I really liked the black with the gum bottom) and I will not get this shoe again period. Too bulky and actually hurts my feet compared to the 440.

You were going so good until you said the colorways suck.   Perhaps the most consistently great line yet.   

[Fongstarr.]

I am starting to skate the 600s and for whatever reason the back part of the shoe sort of aggravates the back part of my ankle. I had to wear thicker socks to sort of compensate for it but I thought it was strange it was doing that, granted I was skating Janoski's before that which has a pretty low back part of the shoe. Whatever it is called.

Sucks to hear that and even if the OG wasnt for everyone they didn’t need to make it like that in the first place. Still have two pairs of the og in stock luckily.

I must insist: Kill all 808 since the 933 fills it's place perfectly. I don't understand the logic of one guy having 2 pro shoes at the same time.

I'll let you in on a secret: he has a shoe for both regular and switch.

Question for you NB# heads; My first pair of Numerics (600) are near the end of their life, they're easily the best shoes I've ever skated. I think I could go very slightly thicker on the sole but I don't want any extra chunk to the upper, so I'm eying up the 480. How much of a jump up are they from the 600?

The 1010 seems like the obvious choice but I don't like chunky uppers and I'd rather not spend £120 on 933s if I don't need to, although I'm very tempted...

Also, is the ankle tipping thing a problem for people who skate the stock insole, or is it only happening to people who are putting thick insoles in them? I always use stock insoles so I'm hoping they'll be fine.

[close]

If you love the 600, I would not recommend the 480. It's a very different shoe. The boardfeel is next to nonexistent, plus the stock insole has been a problem for many people, although I think they've updated that for the latter versions of the shoe. But one can't be 100 % in which insole one gets unless you try them on yourself. The original insole can make your feet feel cramped.

Plus, whereas the 600 is skateable pretty much from the get-go, the 480 can take a seriously long time to properly break in, and still feel bulky. It's a heavy-feeling shoe in general.

This is all my subjective opinion, but based on what I've read here and online, I'm not alone. In a nutshell:the 480 is a good shoe for people who like a very thick sole with minimal boardfeel. On the flipside, it's probably one of the longest-lasting shoes on the market with very, very good impact protection.

Anyway, in your case, I'd rather try the 1010.

[close]

Thanks guys! I'll give the 1010 a go then.

Out of interest, where does the 933 rank on this scale? Worth considering for me, or is it similar to the 480? I tried a pair on in a shop but they were half a size too big for me and it's hard to tell how they'd be once broken in.

[close]

We should have a name for this scale.
In my experience (I guess is related to the thick/sturdiness of the sole, Thicstu Scale?):
808 < 933 < 480 < 1010 < 600 < 440v2
As you can see I'm only about cupsoles.
Not including 508 and 808L since I have no experience on those.
PS: I agree with what the other pals said, 1010 is the answer.

I can add to this that 508 < 808, by a considerable amount. 508 sole thickness feels about the same as 272 (vulc) but is a bit more "rigid" due to being a cupsole.

See reference images from Weartested (508 and 808):



Looking at the 933 from outside, I had a feeling that it would have the thickest sole...

True, it's a matter of opinion for sure. I actually Googled it just now and the ones I really don't like are the dark green, maroon, and the off white one that has the slightly different color toe and heel. A few just kinda underwhelm but I also had the launch black, the black/grey leather, the smurfs, and the Lost Art so 6 total plus the white/blue, launch white, and 2 others are nice so ur definitely right. I think they could do some really rad, tasteful versions of the shoe and hope it keeps getting shine. I actually have a lot of people at work ask me about them.

I still wear my 480s around hoping one day the midsole foam will finally sink in enough to where my heel isn't on top of a stilt like outsole. I have a fun imagination. I literally still roll my ankles walking in them. The amount of people loving them made me realize how wide my heels are compared with the average person, apparently.

browsing the nb website for non skate shoes I came across the Allerdales, these would go pretty hard if redone as numerics

If not a redo, repurposing that logo for some of the NB shoes would be a pretty welcome change of pace from the N over and over again.

Damn $250 for a shoe that you'd wear as a nursing home caregiver.

If I start to save some money now, I would get these as my nursing home kicks in 33 years.
