    This shoe looks great for impact and landing primo, and I would probably be more willing to skate that than the 480’s lol. I bought those reynolds shoes in white with the black cupsole and I was like “yeah I’m not skating this”.
    I also bought the non skate version and I had to get a size 8. When the beefier skating ones came in a size 9 I thought they looked too big to fit me, but all the padding inside made up for that. Kinda.
    I also had to put the shoelace through the last loop from outside to inside so the knot would be closer to the tongue and hold it down better. It did the trick in the end. But the leather looks so premium I’m not gonna destroy the shoe with my mobbed ollies lol.
    I kinda wish you’d cut some new balances in half straight down the middle. Like with a bandsaw lol. So we can see that yellow stuff inside and how it runs along the inside of that cupsole. I love shoe cutting videos kinda like rose anvil does.
    Btw I’ve been skating your laces in a pair of nike chrons and they are definitely kevlar, but they look like the strands are more dense than most of the skinny kevlar laces on the market. I know it’s a type of carbon fiber like material because it feels cold to the touch like metal.
    I had a cf guitar and the panels were made by vacuuming out the epoxy in a bag, so when you touched the guitar it was always cold and of course it was 99% carbon fiber instead of epoxy resin.

      Update I like the way they skate early on better than the the 1010, however once the 1010 is broken in it’s better all around in my opinion and the lasts longer. The 808 once torn up from flip tricks looks like a pealing baked potato lol idk man I think I’m just going to stick with Tyshawn adidas 🙌 little to no breaking in time good board feel and arch protection for the inevitable premo lol

    Hey man I love your videos! I was wondering what size you bought the 808s in, and what is your foot's length, along with what other sizes you usually wear for other brands other than nb as well. Also, do you know if the sizing of the 1010's are compatible with the 808's as in how each shoe fits according to one size? (I found a 9.5 US 808 with a more tight fit compared to a 9.5 1010) I know this is a lot, but your help is very very appreciated! Sending love from Canada! Peace✌

If you have a fatter heel on your foot and less arch, these will hurt a lot at your true size and the back half of the shoe has hard plastic which doesn't break in.

    Unfortunately the middle of my foot is way too wide for these. I bought them a month ago at my true size in 99% of shoes and have skated them everyday and the middle of my foot is always spilling over the sole, which is painful because the edge of the sole is really ridgid and just digs into the sides of my foot. The toebox in comparison is actually fine and not too narrow like a lot of people say. It just isn't especially wide and spacious but the toe does break in and widen. It's just the back half of the shoe which has these hard plastic supports around the sole which hurt if your foot isn't narrow enough to stay within the bounds.

    yeah I can't do it, I prefer the 1010. I mean, the 808 is awesome for stability, but the 1010 is WAY free-er, and only *slightly* less stable
    if the 1010 had ghillies and the special lacing system from the 808, they'd be perfect
    BUT, I will say...if you lace the 808 super tight, it's like a whole different shoe
