At skateparks you can see skaters of any age wearing any random NB Numeric, but I think maybe Christian gets the vibe because of the white trainers (non NB skate shoes) so many dads wear in the US lol
I love the new balance skate team, and i think that has completely changed my mindset on the new balance N so when i look at them i think they look absolutely sick. Also the fact that many young ppl wear new balances now so my brain can distinguish between the old dad shoe and the skate shoe
I have these in black with double white stitching. I like the N on it. It has a little 3M on it as well. Without the N on the low, it looks like a reebok club C series shoe😂
I skate these but the high tops. Favourite shoe by far and not planning on changing anytime soon! I do change the insoles for some footprint ones and they work well together
I loved 440 highs until i rolled my ankle in them. Since they have no rigid plastic in the heel the mesh and leather get really soft when sweaty and they start to feel kinda like a sock so it gets easy to roll your ankle. They are very grippy, more so than Nike in my opinion.
@@kristofnagy2131 Vans half cabs are pretty solid, I personally like Jordan 1 highs for stiffness on the ankle, but they’re not as widely available for cheap
I skated three pairs of the 440H in a row. I liked them, but they got a little floppy for my tastes after a few weeks. Definitely broke the laces in them. It looks like you didn't skate them long enough to fully judge the durability. 😄
New Balance have that insole issue cause they use the same tech on their running shoes that have more support. Even though they dull out the most of the standard wickening for sweat in the newer numeric insoles, the material feels skiddish and stagnent after sweatin in them. Cleaning out the insoles with water cleans up all the dead skin cells and sweat that thin your feet from skidding but the impact control is not in the insole but the outsole C-Cap construct. I love N.B. for the longevity though. They are the strongest for skating so far that I can tell.
For sure. Idk why people even skate Nike's anymore. I get ollie holes in Nike SB Blazers within a couple of sessions. Meanwhile NB 306's have lasted me over 2 months!! Only problem is the sole doesnt last very long on those. I have the 440's atm, and they seem to hold up great aswell. Especially in the sole. They are slightly wide, and as mentioned in this review, the insole is... terrible. I put Nike SB Blazer insole in mine
NB# are like dad shoes for skaters. Edit. I totally wrote that before you called them dad shoes damnit. Personally, NB’s are pretty comfortable, but I hate the damn N.
Right? Like I get it's an insignia but literally just an N for a logo is wack especially for those who want a cleaner shoe without logos pasted everywhere. I'm always looking for a new NB colorway where the N is hard to see lol
Had this model in a different colorway, skated good but I had to give them too a homie after a month of skating them. I have wide feet and they hurt the sides of them, they didn't break in like I thought they would.
Being from the DMV area where the New Balance has been highly coveted since the early 90’s, seeing you intentionally cut the N off the side of the shoe kinda hurt
Solid honest review! I've also considered slashing the N off every pair of the 440 highs I've had. I'm on my 5th pair and they're 🤌 but I agree they're not legendary. Prob a better high top cup out there (Trudger) but these are still solid shoes.
I love these reviews my preferences are basically the opposite so if he hates them I’ll probably like them and I can still find out about fit and durability
I am interested to see what the New Balance Tiago 808s skate like. I’m hoping they are as good or better than the 1010s. They look like they wouldn’t have great board feel. I also feel they don’t really have a dad show vibe.
I just saw that Eric elliton just released a new shoe with li Ning. It's the same brand that make Dwayne Wade's shoes. I think that would be interesting to try
Leave the N on. Probably one of the best things about New Balance. I’m a New Balance sneaker head and I have a huge collection of made in USA New Balances. So yeah. Leave it on.
quality of new balance got so bad.. i used to skate new balance for the past few years.. but durability and quality of them is a no go.. they break after a few sessoions.. i had the same shoe twice, the back part felt appart.. stichings are fake, its just for the style
Cuts the N off, rants about the looks, says buy my laces, buy my insole in the future... shoe is not even damaged on flick which leads me to believe he skated em for what like a week maybe? Man...
Why did you cut the N off? Looks miles better with it. And who the hell thinks these are Dad shoes? I think you're thinking to like old man running Asics or fatboi DCs. New Balance have always been fresh asf.
This is one of your more 'meh' reviews. You must've been drinking too much from the Nike punch bowl as of late since the aesthetics of a shoe is subjective at best and I feel like you put too much stress onto it. Performance comes first when choosing a shoe, especially one that gets as severely thrashed as a skate shoe. Honestly, your shoe reviews from way back are more unbiased than a lot of your new ones. 😬
It’s kinda funny that it’s only an American phenomenon about dad look of NB.
Here in Europe they considered as a sick looking shoe.
yep i agree

Because most of you don't have lawns big enough to mow or even grill out.lol
nb dad shoes are cool in america it’s just him personally that doesn’t like lmao
@@truthhurts7637at least we don't go bankrupt if we need to go to the hospital
I think it looks way cooler with the N lol
Lol nice. I think it’s just me that don’t like the N

You should do a full lenght docummentery. Your editing is amazing and i get the feeling that you are pretty good at interwieving people.

Dude same problem... can you recommend somenshoes that has ankle support?
I need some mids my self
These are some super low shoes when I do nollie my board grips my ankle

You should do a review on the numeric 272s
Crazy how when Im looking for a specific shoe you drop a review of it

Great review! Would love to see a review and what you think of the Li-Ning Ellington
Nice vid! Review the DC Metrics
do a review on the new DC Metrics
I am cured riding the 508 and all this points about the 440 apply to the 508s too.
DVS Devious shoe review when?
It would be nice for you to test the straye Logan. Downside is that you have to put insoles.
You should do a pair of simple skate shoes like simple is the brand name
these are cool, but PLEASE REVIEW THE ACCEL OG!!
Yo, wanna buy ur laces but im in Europe, there's a way to ship them or smth?
these are a really good shoe, I bought a 2nd pair for daily usage
Nice.

What about the half cabs 👀
th-cam.com/video/ZtDx4W2C2FE/w-d-xo.html
You should review emerica pillars
just go your laces in the mail, ima go skate them today at the skatepark with my tyshawns
Great review. Personally I like the N logo a lot.
Yeah it seems split. Either love or hate lol
Be cool to see your thoughts on the emerica pillars
got the highs for 25 dollars, even sweatier, but my fav shoe so far
please sort out international shipping for your insoles. I'm gonna need these ASAP
Do the NM22, the vulc shoes are great with better insoles AND the N logo is recessed holes into the suede not an N patch! They look so sick
You should have tested the hi tops
Had this model in a different colorway, skated good but I had to give them too a homie after a month of skating them. I have wide feet and they hurt the sides of them, they didn't break in like I thought they would.

Hey Christian I think you should review a pair of globe surplus. I really enjoyed skating them, I really liked their insoles.
"but I'm not gonna skate em again" haha
My best NB is 306 Jamie Foy! Change every 3 months !
you should do a review on the clearweather donny. there is a sale right now on their website
So interesting, I have this colorway as well and I was thinking of customizing them somehow too ! .
DO It
Where did you find this colour way ??
Solid honest review! I've also considered slashing the N off every pair of the 440 highs I've had. I'm on my 5th pair and they're 🤌 but I agree they're not legendary. Prob a better high top cup out there (Trudger) but these are still solid shoes.
Christian I think that you should skate and review the Nike Sb Adversary
yo man
thanks man
Welcome.
@@christianflores its cool how you reply to your comments and stuff man
have a good one man
1st, Do a review of the Es Stylus midssss
I love these reviews my preferences are basically the opposite so if he hates them I’ll probably like them and I can still find out about fit and durability
Hahaha. Nice. Sounds like you will love all the shoes I hate. 👊👍
@@christianflores review the new Tiago 808 from new balance
Can you skate lakai atlantics next?
you should shoe review a pair of emaricas
The 480 next?
600?
How was the boardfeel
Way to much. Lol. So really good haha
I am interested to see what the New Balance Tiago 808s skate like. I’m hoping they are as good or better than the 1010s. They look like they wouldn’t have great board feel. I also feel they don’t really have a dad show vibe.
Would've been cool to see a cross section of this show (or really, every shoe you review)
Review the Powell dragon wheels !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need to know about that etnies windrow vulc or the kayson high also yeah new balances really don't have any break in time and just stay grippy
Yeah I have to agree on the Insoles Part it’s not well impact protected like after a month I put FP insoles in my shoe
Please do the new tiago 808
I agree new balances look like dad shoes retro styles shoes , I ve only been skating es lately and dont wanna skate nothing else
Do a review of the adidas adimatic
Do they fit TTS?
Yes
Try the Li Ning Ellington shoe! I got a few pairs, sooooo freaking good!!
i have the high tops and they are the third pair of NB's i have skated, for me they are the best
Nice mane. Yeah I think if they had a little more protection for me I would love em.
Hey Christian saw you at OV/Cesar Solis park like 2weeks ago got scared to say hi
Got the same ones brown and I got them for 30$ but the toe stitched broke completely around lol
wow that's a steal. I use to get the same Adidas shoe every time for 30 bucks too. it was brown and yellow. lol
I put a FP insole inside , they are perfect.. !! 👍🏻🤞🏻
please come on Adidas busenitz vulc 2
Классные туфли, есть такие, только замша, красные, 2 сезона откатался и ещё хватит на 3й), следующие 2 пары 212, 440 Tom knox, 1010 tiago
REVIEW THE GOLF LE FLEUR 1 STARS PLEASE
Dude! That’s like 300 bucks. Na lol
for the views 😎 bro
Yo!! do new balance 508 review
New balance shoes have all been too narrow at the toes for me and start tearing into my poor pinky toe
Try the Tiago 1010 I reckon if you have not
i like the old hair better
I like the look more with the N lol
I just saw that Eric elliton just released a new shoe with li Ning. It's the same brand that make Dwayne Wade's shoes. I think that would be interesting to try
Yeah I went and looked at it they are all should out and the other color way he has of the shoe is 150 bucks. . . idk about that. lol
@@christianflores totally understand. I still appreciate all your hard work. Your the best fam
These are the most dad shoe looking of the NB skate shoes, i think. buuuuut, i like them. lol
every time he talked about impact he showed a tiny five stair.
Yeah and image if I skated something bigger.
🔥🔥🔥
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing these
4:45 lol
Leave the N on. Probably one of the best things about New Balance. I’m a New Balance sneaker head and I have a huge collection of made in USA New Balances. So yeah. Leave it on.
Oh nice dude! Yeah I just don’t like it. But I do know a lot of people do.
Personally i love the 272 numerics
I like that N tan line. 😏
Nice. I didn’t 👊👍
I had to size down 1/2 a size; great for a wide foot tbh. 100% accurate = worst insole ever in this shoe.
A review on the Nike Sb GT Blazer Low Pro, they have the best heelflips for a vulc shoe
Li Ning erik ellington shoes please!!!. I swear to you that shoe is better than that new balance.
Es swifts 1.5
quality of new balance got so bad.. i used to skate new balance for the past few years.. but durability and quality of them is a no go.. they break after a few sessoions.. i had the same shoe twice, the back part felt appart.. stichings are fake, its just for the style
I use these to skate in and for P.E at school they are pretty comfortable
Cuts the N off, rants about the looks, says buy my laces, buy my insole in the future... shoe is not even damaged on flick which leads me to believe he skated em for what like a week maybe?
Man...
Looked better with the N
Yo Christian you should review the Aloha Super by Adidas!
Cutting that N off was blasphemy
Why did you cut the N off? Looks miles better with it. And who the hell thinks these are Dad shoes? I think you're thinking to like old man running Asics or fatboi DCs. New Balance have always been fresh asf.
THE N IS CLASSIC MAN HOW YOU GONNA SLICE OFF THE N
Without N
with N looks better
Emerica Jon dicksons
As somebody from the DMV frankly I feel offended
I like the N
Without the N
do li-ning ellington
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hmmmmm. I’ll try to focus more on the performance. But yeah I didn’t like how they looked.
Adidas Aloha Super
These haves breaking period
Didn’t feel like it to me. They were so thin they felt broken in super quick.
Is it just me or does christian always sounds super drunk when doing reviews. His speech seems pretty slurred. Hope that's just his speech
