Wonder what other laces come with the Lottoi shoes. I even think a light brown lace will look pretty cool.

If you look a page or two back there are some brown hiker-ish rope laces that aren’t light but look pretty good

With a lace swap the Lottie 933s are my second favorite colorway of the shoe so far, just behind the all black pair.

Are you talking about the texture above the side of the toe to mimic other 933s? Interesting you mention that because based on when photos are loading in the back end of the site they’re photographing shoes out of the release batches for most of the time.

Oh cool - colorway in his stories reminded me of maybe a late 90s dc which I was digging.  Like the era just before wenning

$150? Damn

I’ve noticed in a lot of the product photos there’s a piece missing at the Ollie hole area.   Models in hand imply the area with the stitching, but surprised to see they’re still presented with out them.   I think if it was a change late in the production process, it was a good change, though

Right below the lowest loophole, there’s a half circle that in product photos is cut out, but in the actual shoes is a solid piece and the stitched half circle implies an Ollie area

It's just a deboss into the material to give the look of a 990 style shoe, without using an actual cut out.

That shits a giant turd

A hunch of new photos and some on foot pics

The last one with the shoes in a cupboard is begging for a stylin on you post in UWTB

There is one regular brown lace too.



Damn....I think I might have to get these now.

Apparently his family does the pottery. I don't know Lottie for anything but I think this is a nice change from what I normally see.

Wonder what other NB# models will get the Beef & broccoli treatment!?

I don’t remember those other ones.  I know about the 440 hi right now and a few others from before, but Carroll and the Tiago sound nice

not numeric, but the Beef/Broc ALD 993s from a few years ago are still my fav, wore em today too

[noxiousPond]

I see what you guys are saying. That half circle part below the bottom eyelet on my 933’s is just debossed suede. But on that pair it definitely looks like the suede is cut out and in the half circle part is mesh material instead. I dunno who really cares but also OCD.

These lotties seem to be selling out way faster than I thought. Premiere store had them and all gone.

Reminds me of the Jeremy Fish 480.  Higher price point, pink colorways.  The extra quality and reputation of the artist help both sell through fast.  Not sure either are my taste but it’s cool people are stoked on them.

[cjscoot]

Jeremy fish x 303 480s ended up on sale at NB for $55 before they finally sold through, just sold through quickly at some shops, maybe these will sit on NB when they release Monday? The ones that surprised me the most are the Rukus 480s, those things caught a wave, selling out immediately and reselling at like 200 🥴

There was a yellow and green 480 that just had a small run that really hot for resellers.   I remember my local telling me a story of how surprised they were at the desperate calls they were getting.

[tzhangdox]

Not tryna scour this entire thread but anyone skate the 770? How does it compare to the 1010, 440, 480, or 933?

The 574 style taper then flare out on the sole near the back is tripping me out. Wonder if its going to be an ankle roller. I find the 480s a little tippy for my liking, especially if I swap the insole out. The 1010 440 and 933 are good in that regard.

didn't get to skate mine yet but wore them around a bit just 30 minutes ago. Got me the white leather Grand collab. they are kinda squishy but stable all at once, wich i never felt before.

regarding the angled/ tapered sole- there is a harder plastic part above the sole that goes around the heel wich should act stabilizing. i tried tipping the shoes over there, looking if there was a tipping point kinda feel but felt pretty stable.

anybody can chime in on how they skated?

i also remember theres a weartested review that could give some insight

Anyone had the v2highs hurt specifically the back of their heels? Fit seems perfect(not jamming toes,not loose)but running into some weird issues there

Had several pairs of V2 highs (and V1 highs) but never a problem with heels. Only a random toe chafe here and there that I notice after a session. Does it happen while skating or after?

Usually during, while pushing I’ll notice the pain and some movements that put my foot in a similar way like running up a quarterpipe. Almost like the back of the shoe could be too tight for my foot, may try another pair to see if it’s a one off issue.

Lotties 933 for $120 at LBC Skate.

Any idea when the Lotties Reynolds will be available in the UK? Still no sign of them over here

I actually cut my v2s down. Just above the last stitching. Came out fine. I feel they fit snuggier than the lows.

A photo would be nice.
Btw, are we ever going to have more 480 highs?

A few month ago I asked roth and he said they didn't have anything planned at the moment, but that didn't mean they were done.

However, they are planning like a year or so out. So I wouldn't count on any for a while.

The 480 low seems to be doing pretty well, so I'm sure they will put a high out every so often as long as the low keeps doing alright. That's a total assumption though, nothing is guaranteed.

Hit up shoplurker if you need a pair. Lots of shops have them for pretty good prices.

[moonordie]

We need a Slap 480 high when this thread hits 480 pages.
