Shoes

Found some NB in the end so didn’t need to. hopefully they’re comfy to skate in.

I’m a 12 and I struggle so much with trainers in general not just skate shoe styles, never many styles in stock so I’m immediately limited, then you find the pair you like just doesn’t size up right.

cursed with massive hooves man

Never thought I’d say this but I just wish I had a bit less length

My only grumble about the NB 600 after 2 sessions is the sole stitching freys really quickly and looks a bit shit.

only on a flat surface they’re a nightmare on anything with a curve

I can deal with looking a bit shit as long as they function. they’ll probs last me a while coz I still can’t skate properly, just rolling around getting the feel for it again

Oh If you got 600’s they (should) be good for you. I do - or try (ha!) - a lot of flip tricks which do batter the outer toe of my shoes. I’ve had two session in them now and no complaints bar the visual stitching which is nothing, really happy and would buy and skate another pair :+1:

Copped a pair of the white Aloha Supers a couple of months ago, spontaneous present from the wife.

They’re absolutely mint. Having said that, I’m still yet to wear them outside, because they’re just so unassailably white that the idea just seems foolish.

Best shoe ever 100%! I had two pairs of the pink ones, lost one to a ditch full of water, and the other pair I have skated in a bit and worn a lot so pretty beat.

Need to grown my hair again for more Gustav cosplay when I go skating. Literally haven’t skated in any trousers other than Adidas trackies and skated Adidas for the last 7/8 years.

Got me delivery confirmation from Note so gassed.

Managed to clear a couple of other pairs out over the weekend, some random Birkenstock slippers and a random pair of Nikes so came clean to the Mrs. Haha

Tasty new colourway of the 480.

It’s gonna be sick, but also quite expensive because it uses a lot of the running shoe tech. Apparently there was some internal discussion about the pricepoint for this shoe because they didn’t want to make the premium tech available at a lower price.

I’ve got my pair on order already, they’re dropping a bit later than first planned so should be here in April.
