New colorways for 933 release today?

Seemed like it based off nocturnal releasing some, but I guess I’d wager first Friday in October

[radcunt]

Being numerics, I assume the 770s are skateable, but has anyone skated them? I like the vibe of 1989 Jogger / Jordan crossover.

The tongue tag is disgusting.

Curious how that Tiago looks irl.   If it’s more tan than yellow that’s a top shoe.

That predominantly black 480 looks GOOOOOOOOOD.

Echoing this. I had a pair of the 440v1 highs in that colorway and loved how they looked. Hopefully this colorway crosses over to some of their other shoes, like the 1010 and 480 high...

I wonder when these are going to start showing up?

The black and gum 933 looks good but also seems a bit similar to the brown/black one.

Is the triple black one below still forthcoming?

It looks like it’s using more synthetic materials.   My guess is it’s the Lottie’s/gigliotti shoe

I was having a debate whether the color way on the left (launch brown without the orange) is a sample color way or an upcoming color way.     

[mini greek]

Nope and nope.

[Atiba Applebum]

Look at black gum color way

What are some heads opinion on the 770 on foot? I just got them, and I cant get over how wide they look on my feet

[close]

I thought they were pretty comfy but they felt pretty unstable imo. They seem to be ankle rollers

[close]

Any shoe that has that sole design on the back end has historically been doom for ankles. I returned mine (sorry, no pics), I was annoyed on how wide the shoe was while having no shape beyond the ball of the foot. It was like wearing tech potatoes

I thought the heel shape would give more stability? What do you mean, that back end is doom for the ankles?

I was thinking they meant that Silas 2 look where the soles come up narrower where it connects to the shoe, but it doesn’t seem so severe on these from the photos.

So the Eyelet issues continue.. this time with a new pair of 480’s

Double punctured holes.

I get what you’re saying, And I agree, but when you pay $100+ (which I realize is going less far these days) for a pair of shoes then these things perhaps shouldn’t be as prevalent.

The double punched eyelet seems like an entirely avoidable defect.

All of this aside, I’m a huge fan of everything NB#. I feel like everything they’ve been doing for the last 5 years or so has been knock out great, and the materials second to none. It’s why I’ve purchased so many of their shoes, likely more than anyone else here! I can’t say enough good things about the 440, the 600, and the 1010.

The one issue is just that some of the CC could possibly be cleaned up a bit.

Check those DM's Mongo...I got you covered.

[Mongo Lloyd]

Thank you @rothdigga and @mini greek for both reaching out!

[Fongstarr.]

Those are some crazy colors but I actually dig them.

[hiljentaa]

Dang, that is a really nice 933 colorway! Would pickup for a pair of chillers, but I've got a pair of 808s that fill that role for me.

[Mongo Lloyd]

Black colorway is sick, but that multi-color strangely grabs me!

[DeanMaple]

 An all black with white stiches would be sick

[noxiousPond]

That 933 colorway is like…….. a cohesive mess. I like it and I also don’t like it.

[HugeBodBoyle]

Those black and gum 933s got me like Wayne.

First time ever I tried 1010s ja 933s in a shop since I was visiting a different city. I didnt buy them yet because I'm short on money atm. I was blown away how great they felt immediately when I put them on. I would say liked the Tiagos a bit more but would get both if I had money. My current 440s felt like flip flops afterwards.
