i used to feel the same way when i started wearing thick skate shoes but over a small period your muscle memory kicks back in, on top of that i ride ace lows and 97a formula fours so skating feels like im gliding on ice, saves your feet from pain in the long run
They did an all black with that same rubber toe cap and it came with white laces at the end of last year. I copped immediately because they looked like the first Emerica Reynolds
yeah I some how skipped that one. I barely remember seeing it after someone else pointed it out. I have seen some fire samples that haven't come out yet or may not come out.
I remember seeing an ig story of Reynolds talking about the rubber toe cap on a pair of 808s he had, and it had me intrigued, to say the least. Really curious to see how it skates. As for his pro shoe... My guess is either Summer or Fall 2025. At the EARLIEST. Don't quote me on that, though. Lol.
That's sick. I wish it had Reynolds name or something on it tho be perfect. Reynolds loves those brown colorways, I can't believe it's taking so long for him to get a shoeee crazy. As my fav skater I can't wait. If they said Reynolds I'd immediately cop they missed the ball with that i have so many brown shoes lately ill have to pass but if they said Reynolds on it somewhere id def. Cop. I got the 272s tom KS there sick super flimsy tho
They’re heavier and stiffer than the 1010. Also, they fit a half size smaller compared to the 1010 IMO. Obviously ‘90s inspired compared to the 1010. Check out a pair at your local.
@@ianturnbow7011 This is my preference plan on trying get pair 808 and 1010 in my collection some day. Also, depends on day for me some days use heavy shoes or day shoes lighter to skate.. After that since have wide feet most of my shoes goes up full size to have little room in toe box. Lastly definitely shop local as well.
Yeah I’m aware and aware the rubber toe is a nod to his emerica shoe. Would’ve rather seen a different color like the all red with the gold hits. That’s more nostalgic for me though I suppose.
Fair. I def think the brown will sell better a second time than a red would. Just broader appeal. That said there is a new color 480 reynolds coming down the pipeline
I just ordered these and used your free shipping code thanks for that 🙏🏻 😎
Dope!!
Such a sick color and cool for the throwback but i cannot feel my board with them lol
Fair fair! Haha it’s def that 90s vibe 100%

Makes me miss the originals, but these will have to do.
They’re likely much better made. Even if only because of new shoe manufacturing techniques
Oh damn I thought these were a custom when I seen em next to the Reynolds 3. That’s dope
Best colorway for the 808 hands down.
New balance is my favorite. Thanks for the review. 😎😎
Thank you thank you

I vaguely remember those. All black shoes normally aren’t my vibe. Time and place though. Late ‘90s to mid 2000s vibes, for sure.
Was that the pair with the gum sole?
yeah I some how skipped that one. I barely remember seeing it after someone else pointed it out.

Too stiff and heavy for me, tbh. But this colorway was undoubtedly pushed by Reynolds.
Definitely go a half size up from the 1010.
"But this colorway was undoubtedly pushed by Reynolds."
You think? *rocket scientist over here*
@@TimHesse No need to be a dick, Tim.
It’s a vibe!
It reminds me of Heath Kircharts shoe the Heretic by Emerica
yeah the heretic was like the budget Reynolds back in the day
@@DavidBluetile it lasted so long because of that rubber toe cap the KSL Dos and the Herman G6 were my all time favorite Emerica shoes
@@2saddads the Herman def sold well. looked like a spud after a few days of skating though. haha
@@DavidBluetile it was so light it took some adjusting but it did blow out quick
808 best shoe out tbh
It’s slept on for sure

Spring 25
Yeah apparently there was a black pair of 808 that I forgot about that had the rubber toe
I hope they fixed the issue with the 808. They fit perfect, but there is something in the outside edge of the foot that just puts my foot to sleep
fire colorway

AW YEAH
I hope his pro model is a mid top whenever they come out
HARD
ohhh ahhh.
Then like look bulky shaped and color for me have not tried to this one yet. Last of all looking to cop personal pair in the future

Two brown Reynolds colorways? Not good.
That’s his jam. Two different shoes.

@@DavidBluetileany hints on the new CW?
@@DavidBluetile Are You gonna have a 13 in these 480's coming down the pipeline?
They're neat but I really wish they'd re-release the 480 colorway he had last year.
Same, all they shops in the UK had them. I sat on the fence, and then they were gone. Now, people want like £300 for a pair ffs
Yeah that’s why people want them again. Haha
There will be another reynolds color
@@DavidBluetile any clues on colourway?
