Now we’re talkin’

[NickD]

Picked up a pair of 574 a couple of weeks ago and then a pair of made in England 1500. I’m wondering whether the 1500s will show the brawn leather through the black after some wear.

Love the Challenger brand so it was only natural to buy the New Balance collab for a birthday present.

These go all the way hard…

[Oaktavia]

@Matt wow those do go hard

[Matt]

I thought you might like them.

@Matt thinking about snagging a pair

The 440 V2 series is a great shoe. Love my Challenger collab. Starting to turn blue from the denim bleeding onto them haha!

[Matt]

I have the blue low top hiking version. Had to go up half a size as skate shoes tend to run narrow but they are fantastic.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt ok good call, I was wondering why my pair of Reynolds skate shoes were a little tight. They loosened up enough, but still enough to notice.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt thanks for posting these earlier, they are rad. I sized up a whole size to 13s. Fit was narrow until I took them on a 90 min walk when they loosened up.

[Matt]

Love them. Glad I was able to steer you in the right direction.

My grail sneaker for 2026…

[Oaktavia]

@Matt dude those are rad

[Matt]

These Salehe Bembury should be dropping in the Spring…

[Matt]

In the meantime I’ve been thinking hard about which pair(s) of these I should get…

[Matt]

What do you guys think?

@Matt love the middle one with turquiose/black/orange/pink

Ditto, and the two above that one are nice too. The grey is more low-key while the ones with the red on top are wild in a good way.
