@Matt where do you go to get upcoming drop info? I’m always surprised and then I’m always late

[Matt]

A lot of it pops up in my IG feed. You can also go to some of the sneaker sites like Sneaker News or High Snobiety and search the brand.

@Go-For-Chill I’m not a NB expert but I thought this was based on the 991. I tried on the mip 10 too, the one based on the Jordan 4, but the toe box was a bit narrow for me on that and wider on these.

NB just released new 2002R protection pack colours, definitely thinking about the grey

@AdamJ the purple ones are sick

[Matt]

Anymore of the ripstop ones with elastic laces? Love mine. Might need the blue ones.

[AdamJ]

@Matt Unfortunately no, regular laces only!

[Matt]

Um… yes please…

[Oaktavia]

@Matt watermelon its that time of year

[Matt]

I’ll wear them with my new shirt when I get it.

[ZackB]

Those are really dope. Might have to get the official watermelon uniform.

I have been a fan of Andrew Reynolds and his shoe lines with Emerica back in the early 2000s. I skated a few different shoes of his and enjoyed the look and feel. Now he rides for New Balance. Pretty sick.

Which ones do you prefer?

Brown with black: stays true to Reynolds signature brown colorway option.

Castlerock with vintage indigo: this one is a bit different and I like it.

I love the black and brown as a darker option. While the second choice is fun too. I need help deciding.

[Twistlock]

Both look nice, i would choose brown/black if i had to decide between the two.

[Oaktavia]

@Twistlock thank you for your input

My 740

@Oaktavia I’m with brown/black too. Both are cool though

[Oaktavia]

@SKT thanks dawgie I think that colorway were what drew me to them from the start.

[Oaktavia]

These are so sick, even better in person. I love that there are multiple browns, one of which is suede. Love the black soles. Super snug and comfortable. These would be definitely great to skate in. Of course they are though, Reynolds is the man. I really dig how these pair with 888XHSib.
