@Matt definitely coming to the Baltimore party now.

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.

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.

[Twistlock]

@Oaktavia , they look great. Consider getting a pair.

[Oaktavia]

@Twistlock I highly recommend them, especially after walking around the house in them today. They hug my feet, super cozy with lots of cushioning.

Quck question guys. How do you size NB shoes. I am size US 12 in both Adidas and Nike. size 11 to 11.5 in Chuck Taylors.

[scooter]

@yannis , I'm the same as you. I wear 12 in Adidas, 11 in CT70. All of my NB are 11.5...

[Oaktavia]

@yannis I wear 11.5 in Chucks and 12 in New Balance.

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia those look so good on. Excellent pickup

[ZackB]

@yannis I wear a half size down in new balance from all the Nike/adidas like brands

[Oaktavia]

@ZackB thanks homie I'm stoked to have a new pair of Newbies.

[pechelman]

@yannis I'm 9.5in Chuck 70s, 10 in Nike, and 10.5 in Adidas and NB.

[yannis]

Thank you so much guys. I appreciate all the feedback. 11.5 it is then

@Oaktavia Funny - I just got my pair in today! Got the dad shoes model…

I usually wear size 9 in NB (990) but these are pretty snug. Actually had ordered the EE version and thought I messed up and stopped the order and got the M. Should have stuck with the EE, but these are widening out as I ride… They might be the coolest looking shoes I have though. Perfect when I threw on my 634 142od after this pic.

@dubj7 I noticed mine were a little tight in the pinky toe area at first. After wearing them around the house all day they have loosened up and feel great.
