This is a nice colorway:



I like the other one a lot and the two 480 colorways look very nice as well

Those grey/kakhi ones, right side, second from top are the ones I’ve been eyeing.

Stoked on all the colorways tbh

Teals aren’t out for a bit if that helps.   The bottom two are in a separate drop (September?  Later?)



Any one see the new 600 colorways.   Shops have posted some new colorways but I haven’t seen any post them yet

Good to know when the black/gums will be releasing, will keep those on the radar. The shoe is tempting but the heel always contrasting in colour to the rest of the sole irks me, even if it’s more of a minor accent like on the grey pair.

I've always found Westgates shoe to be pre simple but chill looking shoes. I don't think they ever caught on as much as other shoes but are any good? The sale prices make it so easy to just try out.

I’m skating a pair now. They are a little skinny in the mid foot area and it usually takes 10-15 minutes of wearing them to get them to stretch out every time I put them on but they are solid. Look really good and I like all the vent holes on the toes for these brutal summers. I don’t like them enough to make them a shoe I would exclusively skate but I would buy them either on sale or full price for the right color way.

The brown as well as the black/gum 933s have me in a lather.

in one of the 933 vids/articles, it said Mike Gigliotti has a colorway coming up.  I wonder if that's the black/gum - the same colorway he did with the Spankys and I don't see him doing a particularly colorful palette

Just ordered my first pair of #480s, I got the lows in Vintage Teal/White direct from NB. Hope they're good for walking. Will report back on the fit and feel when I pick them up

Had enough time to skate and form a verdict? I've been looking at those same 480s.  So far I've had the 1010s and 933s and liked them both but think I preferred the 1010s. Didn't experience any of the heel slip that others have mentioned.

I'm not going to lie ... think I"m done skating 933's.  I think they are just too much shoe for me.  The 1010's are the right blend of tech, comfort and feel for me I think.  I have a pair of camel that were worn a few times and skated for a few hours and a pair of grey days that are brand new.  Both size 8.5 if anyone is looking for some get at me

That’s what it is!   Def a cool colorway.   Wonder if the other TK 440 cws will be coming to the 600

Ccs has them all up except for 600s.   Looks like a brown bling bling Foy shoe, the Tiago above, and an unofficial grey day westgate are the cream of the crop

the more beat my 480s get, the more I love them

but now

everytime I slip into my beloved 440s my feet hurt

is this growing up?

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Yeah man those shoes are like day and night with regards to cushioning and impact protection.

I used to LOVE the 440, but after getting used to the nice combination of protection and board feel of the 600, my feet feel more sore when I go back to the 440.

The 480 still feels like too much of shoe for me. At least for now. Maybe give 'em a few years...

I gotta stop coming on here or I’ll add another pair of shoes to try to my list. I’ve been switching between 933s and 440s and find the 440s a little too soft now and it sounds like the 600 sits in the middle . But I don’t need more shoes, is the lie I tell myself.

Sounds like the 600 is the shoe you NEED.

A fellow pal is sending me some 600s and now I'm even more excited. For some reason wasn't expecting the 600 to offer much for cushioning

Why did they have to make the 440v2 so ugly. I don't hear many people talking about the 440 since the change.
