480/480 hi. NB# junkie here. 30+ pairs. Trying to get all the 480/480 hi colorways, as they're definitely my favorite at the moment and they look sick. I like them because they fit my ankle and my ankle brace really well and don't slip off of it. They actually hold it better than the phantom fit shoes they do (808, 1010).
NB 598's because the Vans skate highs that I did have a friend of mine wanted a pair of high tops and I was curious about the New balance skate shoes that never had any before so I traded him my Vans skate hi for these NB 598, and I'm really impressed with the New balance 598
Been on Etnies Joslins for about a year. Theyre the only shoe ive found for a wider, flatter foot. Sometimes I roll FP insoles too. Ive found so many shoes to be to skinny for me, including the Lemos. So far these shoes have been too skinny: Marana, Tyshawn, Nyjah. Excited to try the 440 wides.
back in 2022 i was just coming back to skating after a 10 year long hiatus, didn't know anything at all about the skate scene or market. needed a skate shoe and just went to the skate shop and tried on a bunch of shoes and ended up picking a pair of 440s (v1) simply because they were the best looking and most comfortable out of all the ones i tried. no bias or preconceived ideas manipulated my decision at all (other than maybe knowing that NB does some nice shoes since i have other non skate NBs) I started using them and while they felt really top quality the one issue i had was that it was a bit too narrow for my wide feet. other than that they skate great (i still have them and skate them) even tually they broke in better and now it doesn't hurt around the sides of my foot but having a width E on those babies would've been PERFECT! im so glad to see that NB numeric is releasing a wide version of some of the shoes i will definitely pick up a pair of wide 440s again. should i stop skating my 440s V1 and keep them as a collector item?
Honestly, when I saw the leaked photos of it, my feelings toward the V2 were mixed. I liked the improvements that were made (and I can't wait to try it for myself), but I was not a huge fan of the design especially towards the bigger N. I just thought it looked kind of awkward where it was on the shoe, as I liked the original N better. I'm sure I'll grow to like it, but It's going to take some time.
@@Sherman91587 I changed the insol. After you break it in works perfect. For walking i would recomend other shoe tho ! good quality materials. and it has an elastic strap so fits in with out the laces.
Got the Wide and they're not really even as wide as my current eS shoes. Not even as wide as the Accel Slim. Returned them because I have a fairly wide foot and knew they wouldn't fit. what a bummer
@@ShredzShop fingers crossed the 1010s get the wide treatment soon. They’re not too narrow to begin with and have a wide midfoot area which is great for people with low arches like me.
@@ShredzShop I'm a new subscriber and I like the show Shredz and the format. I like the 20 or 50 worst brands type of format, along with the skate history. Thanks from an old skater. ✌
What shoes are you currently skating & Why?! 🤔
Tyshawn, Tyshawn lows and Busenitz. Best shoes.

The LV's because I fart in the bathtub then eat the bubbles .
So pumped someone is starting to look out for the wide foot people.
They sold out first day, so that's a good sign for more wide versions in the future I'd say!
Ah, always a good day when Shredz drops a ahoe review 😊
Hope you enjoy! 🙏
Loved the 440s, such a solid shoe. Hyped to try these. The bigger N compliments the silhouette more in my opinion
I think it looks really good on foot!

I think they look way better and that blue and white color way is beautiful
I love these lows in that colorway!! They have a vintage New Balance feel to them!
The new 440 are 🔥🔥🔥🔥and I'm not a skater but plan to cop a pair!!!
Amazing Vid as Always guys !! Much Love ❤🤘🏻🛹🇿🇦
Thanks bud!! Glad you enjoyed!
I freaking love my NBs I thought nothing would get me out of es.....
When will the high tops be available in wide?
Love the new N!!!
I want to buy some new balance skate shoes. I didn't know they existed till like last month. Man I need to get out lol.
They've been killing the game for a while now! 440 is a great intro shoe!
@@ShredzShop ✌
@@Eric-mz9enyep New Balance has definitely upped its skate shoes and are definitely listening to people who wear them and put them thru the ringer.
Is the new balance 440 WIDE version already available?
They released them on the NB website, but I think they sold out instantly, but more coming soon!
Looks cool! I am just subscribed to your channel 💯👍🔔
Thank you! 🙏 Hope you enjoy the vids!!
@@ShredzShop You're Welcome!
I’m a #480 guy myself!

I'm about that new N.
Nice! Love hearing people's thoughts on it! We were debating it at the shop, I think on foot it looks much better!!
@ShredzShop still hella ready for more 480/480 hi colorways, though!
I'll miss the mini N
I deadass though about taking a seam ripper to the N on my 440s when i got em 3 weeks ago
Love es silo cup soles and NB Tiago
Both great shoes! The Tiago soles are insane!!
NIKE BLAZER GT PRO LOW. one of the best skate shoes out there ! For my wide foot i feel it like a glov.
Blazers for a wide foot? They look so narrow.
@@Sherman91587 I changed the insol. After you break it in works perfect. For walking i would recomend other shoe tho ! good quality materials. and it has an elastic strap so fits in with out the laces.
@@Sherman91587 Nikes in general are narrow lol. Foot arch destroyer.
the big n looks way doper, reminds me of the 808, doesn't look as good on the highs but on the lows looks right
I think the v1 N looks better but the v2 doesn't look too bad.
7:05 clip is V1 though lol
I wonder how the fit is compared to the 480 and 600
❤❤❤❤
I like the looks of the Version 1 better. I’m not a skater though. What do I know.
🔥Gory🔥
Currently rocking Ishod Is, grabbing the Max once I burn through the couple of pairs I have of these..
How you liking the Ishod 1's?

I was issued New Balance in Navy bootcamp, and I will never wear them again.
Got the Wide and they're not really even as wide as my current eS shoes. Not even as wide as the Accel Slim. Returned them because I have a fairly wide foot and knew they wouldn't fit. what a bummer
We haven’t even gotten the wides in yet. But they should have 4 models dropping in the wide over the next year.

I'm skating the 410 trail runners lol. Jk
hahah I actually think I could skate in those...

@@Eric-mz9en Thanks Eric! Glad you enjoy the vids!
I love their shoes. Biggest issue I’ve had with them is that ugly @ss N! But I like this new N 💪🏼 so much better!
Hate the new big N
Yeah the big N but why haha i dont know I also see Z
V1 was TOO thick IMO 🤷♂️ 288 was just right, but it’s done 😢
What's up dog 😂😂😉
who put the fuckin trump clip in here like it's not even slightly relevant
Where's the wear test? Take that shit out of the title
Low dog!!!
The V2 ruined the perfect styling of the 440
Performance over style
@@incsk8 the looks are ruined for how big of a gain?
@@robertcrystals a lot, do you even skate? If you try one on each foot you'll feel a huge difference.
