I can def see the hippy part of the hippy cowboy from your pics.   I like that it feels more connected to that scene than the other colorway, but then again maybe I didn’t know the story behind it

I think the last pair just matched the walls of the shop, but I’d like to think they were green because before house park was there, there was a small wooden park with green ramps called green park

How is the heel slip on these? My older 480s won't stay on my feet to save my life. Also interesting that you mention to half-size down, wondering if that would help although not sure I have the length to lose.

Yea the 480 is a bit roomier in the toe than what I’m used to skating (gel vickka, NB508) is why I said go a half size down, this pair also has tongue straps, and I yoke the shit out my laces, I remember when the 1010s dropped everyone was having issues with heel slip, the pairs I skated I didn’t have that problem, if your able I’d try them on and see how the half size down fits

[smellsdead]

had heel slip in every single pair of 480s ive had, same with 933s

but cot damn fuckin breaking in the 933 is like going to war with my feet, it doesnt 86 my pinky toes like a vans slip on does, moreso mashes my foot top to bottom with all those panels/stitching

A shoe stretcher is your best friend with the 933. The length was true to size but the width was rediculously narrow, even the "wides". I put my shoe stretchers in them twice for 12-24 hours each time. Now they are amazing.

Here is a link to a similar pair that I have: https://a.co/d/0f4x5GZU

The no Comply 480 lookin good

Going to have to replace laces in my Black 306Cs.  Only one pair when I bought from my local.
Any specific recommendations for replacing the fat cotton laces?

TIA

A first look at the no comply 480s. This is the second 480 collab my local has done and I’m liking this one more. They’re also doing a demo next Saturday to support. First 480s I’m planning on getting since that original brown reynolds colorway.

Those look good! I have the first No Comply 480. I love the looks and the comfortable materials used, but the sole is crazy slippery compared to all the other 480s I have had.

[close]

Weird, I felt that the pair I tried on felt pretty comparable to the pair I own but I only tried it on. I plan on getting these so I can report back on the sole. The heel on 480s in general were always a bit narrow and tall for skating so I generally just use the pair I have for chillers.

[close]

I got a promo pair to show off to the Slap community, they come with three pairs of laces, flat ones, ovals, and the “rope” pair, gum sole ain’t gonna let you slip around, I wear thick cotton socks when I skate, so I went TTS, I feel like most people will want to size down a half size, they are a lil tall in the heel area, but I think I’ll be able to manage, materials are super nice, suede already feels broken in, there’s a hit of denim on the back heel with no comply stitched onto it, velvet stash pocket, paisley and tie dye throughout, seriously hyped on these, great colorway and the story behind them is cool

[moonordie]

Damn, those look nice.

[Jim and Dan]

Those No Comply 480s look tight...

I've seen samples for another shop collab as well, juiced to see it finally come to fruition...

These are ones I got for 933s but they look like they should work fine for 306Cs, too. Just double check the length.

Tone already gave the breakdown photos but got to hold the 480 in the shop. Sole feels pretty sticky for those who thought the sole of the last NC 480 was slippery.

I will be getting these on Saturday.

if i recall correctly, did you not also have the same issue as I did with the 480 being too tippy/ankle rolly? Or did you figure out a workaround for it or something

I did have that issue. No I did not solve that. But for wearing purposes, it doesn’t bother me as much just walking in them so I just relegate 480s to chillers.

@rothdigga did allude to them retooling the 480 so I will try them out for skating when that time comes.

I'm convinced everybody is pretending to like the 480's although they have known issues.
I've seen too many people skating them, then put mine on immediately after to be dissapointed.

[nopopnostyle]

Same here. Had highs and lows and they never became my skate shoes. Sadly, because I really want to like them.

But to be fair, they were all pretty early 480s,
so if they changed them I can’t talk about the newer ones.

I’m just wondering, I used to like to skate this kind of cup sole. Is it something that’s just better in my memory and in in reality I’m now spoiled by newer and better shoes? For example the 1010 facelift fits me like a glove and maybe I’m used to that and the anti ankle roll heel in the 1010 too. And this makes the 480 feel that way in contrast.

Anyone else have that thought?

[Underpressureflips]

I just finished my first pair of 480 hi Abd loved them. No ankle issues and I’m a chronic roller. Only complaint was the to box became super floppy in the last stages of skating the shoe. Will skate another pair.

[Brotherly Shuvit]

Can anyone do me a favor and please put these in order of narrowest to widest toe box?

1010, 600, 306 cup, 770

My opinion from trying on /owning most of these:

N - 600, 306C, 1010, 770 - W

770 is the only one I've yet to try on/own, so I'm guessing by looks. The rest were tried or owned.
