Natas was the first to have a signature model shoe

[@riffkeen_953]

Yeah ! Etnies back in the days !

[@Riz2336]

Cool to see an old school head getting a brand new shoe

[@SDPTheGhost]

New Balance has been killing it with the collabs lately! Wish that their shoes weren’t so narrow, otherwise I would buy em. And all the wide pairs online always sell out 😢

[@TheApexofthevortex]

We need a 480 wide, PLEASE!

[@SDPTheGhost]

[@tru2myrealigion]

Dude yeah great shoes but they squeeze the shit out of the sides of my feet

[@magikbullit1989]

Pros' feet probably jacked 😂

[@Herb_St]

Agreed. The 480s have been extremely durable for me and they are comfortable too. It’s a toss up what my favorite skate shoe is between the 480s and sb dunks. I like the collar padding in the sb dunks and the way my kickflips flip. But the 480s have more impact support and definitely will out last the dunk and most other shoes. And they skate good too butThey take a little longer to break in than a dunk. I just wish they would put a little more padding in the collar and they’d be perfect 👌🏼

[@NatGreenOnline]

I have a set of these headed my way. The monkey is from his mini panther model. The monkey is chilling in between the leaves.

[@sirwaltsworld]

These are absolutely insane

[@MrRashad8869]

The green lace swap they included would go perfect! Really solid pair of 480s!

[@kevincollins8620]

I was stoked when I saw images of these earlier... showed my girl these... then the dunkin NB 480 popped up on my feed reviewed by you. I'm a big 480 fan after getting my Jeremy Fish 303 boards pair. My favorite shoe so far this year.

[@haroldcampos9661]

One of the first things I got into on youtube was watching some old natas parts. Good stuff!

[@chrisjacobsen9635]

The monkey(s) is in the tree/grass on one of his early grapichs on sma/santa cruz decks. Tried too send you a picture on instagram but I only managed to text you there. So no picture😊

[@unkledunkle]

Insane collab!

[@ZaBUSSAKILLEM]

I trust Bluetile and only Bluetile on skateboarding news and footwear 👍

[@jewellione6131]

Dude . Wish nb would cater to their Canadian market more

[@zachbumgarner8653]

I wish I didn't injure myself and could still skate like I used to so I could skate these. I picked up a pair. I have a feeling they will sell out fast and resale will be crazy.

[@kevincollins8620]

120 bucks!??? Sheeesh. I might have to cop my 2nd pair of 480.

[@DR.DisInfect]

I'm getting these when they drop on NB site. Great review

[@BigFoots-bt4sf]

The review is totally awesome and I was so stoked I was able to find the last pair in my size 13! The details and colorway are sick on these! 🔥🔥💛🖤💚🩷 I had several Nata's decks back in the late 90's. I'm an old head skater, and a skater for life! 💥🛹🤙🏽

[@user-jf4do3ms6t]

New balance actually gives skaters pro models and release high quality foot wear !

[@JHillNC]

I pulled the trigger today (Sunday after drop) and really excited to try out the NB 480s for the first time. This colorway and collaboration could not have been more perfect for an old, old head like me. I've been pretty disappointed at SB Dunk sizing in the past couple of years. Some fit perfect (recent court purple re-release, Crushed D.C., for example) while some fit like a whole different (smaller) shoe. I went with my normal size 12 on the NB 480s based on your info and from other's experiences, too. Thanks as always for the great videos. FWIW: I'd love to see more Bluetile t-shirts using the heavyweight, loose and boxy tshirt blanks (e.g. L.A. Apparel) and since you've got the print shop next door, maybe offer up some special designs on pre-order, to guarantee sell-thru and minimize excess inventory? I truly think there are some opportunities there to get Bluetile apparel up to another level (see how Uncivilized Brand model does it from Foamer Simpson on KZbin, as an example)

[@wzrdmgk562]

Hail Natas

[@Wladislav]

Natas indeed had the first pro shoe.

[@DavidBluetile]

Yeah I knew that but when you’re rushing to get a video up … ya get frazzled. Haha start second guessing

[@dspock]

Your review had me get a pair. Good looking out

[@jgl8552]

I saw these today and impulse bought them

[@chrisbrewster3151]

I got mine I think they feel true to size and wide..

[@joeypetty4723]

Absolutely phenomenal, maybe my favorite shoe sense the magnus walker x ishod dunk

[@kevincollins8620]

Whoa whoa whoa chill. Kidding these are amazing too. And of course your opinion is valid. I still need the walker/ishod dunk. I mean that is crazy. But Natas still get shoes is wild too. I need this shoe too

[@kevincollins8620]

You go up in all the kicks. I went down 1/2 a size on mine.

[@DavidBluetile]

My friend sirWalt also went down a half size. That blows my mind haha

[@DavidBluetile]

You are right though. Lately I’ve been going up. My feet hurt!

[@kevincollins8620]

You give excellent sneaker reviews without bias. I don't use the shoes to skate... fortunately you don't go into durability too much and I don't think you ever have. You mostly mention how dope a shoe looks. Which is fine.

[@NitrroO]

Then definitely new balance has been fire with all there collabs and gr color ways. Also I like details of from box to color way of the shoes. Lastly, definitely going try for them all my skateshops 🔥

[@madvillanmf8650]

Also getting MF DOOM 2.0 vibes with these.

[@DavidBluetile]

oh word? thats kinda sick.

[@dbeck134]

Great review on these, colordations calling my name fo sho💚

[@MrJayfreeable]

Are you going to review the Tyshawn 2.

[@Sproutt]

These do look sick

[@madvillanmf8650]

wish you laced swapped to the green to see

[@DavidBluetile]

Maaaan seems like not much but it’s a lotta work on top of everything going on. Maybe in the future I’ll have some lace swap videos

[@madvillanmf8650]

@DavidBluetile no worries like the vibe and content new Subscriber.

[@madvillanmf8650]

@DavidBluetile p.s get one of the skate shop dudes to prep before the content lol.

[@DavidBluetile]

well we are all pretty stretched thin. everyone does a million things but the budget isn't there to hire more folks... maybe when the channel explodes into the millions haha

[@jon5one7]

Gotta say im surprised they didnt reach to Gino.

[@user-kk6vo8wf6o]

Insane colorway

[@typerightseesight]

I just want my ipath grasshoppers back. lol

[@DavidBluetile]

We got em coming.

[@connorgrossman7157]

Aye I’m getting the pink shirt 🙌

[@karenk3458]

Wow, they’re really cool! 😊

[@ismaelrosado2003]

Gotta support the locals (will Nocturnal also carry the tees) or will they be made to order?

[@DavidBluetile]

I think is just kinetic and there aren’t a ton of them. We shipped them out two days ago

[@johnmcduggle4032]

Funniest thing about it all..... I REMEMBER the backwards thing..... And YES it WAS before the Full Cab.........

[@DavidBluetile]

Yes yes you are right! And the monkey is in the jungle leaves of one of the old graphics

[@madvillanmf8650]

went up half hopefully you are correct.

[@DavidBluetile]

I’m pretty sure I said most people go true to size in the 480 but I go up a half size? I hope it works too!

[@madvillanmf8650]

@DavidBluetile Yeah true rewatched,hoping they fit didn't want to break them in,not going to skate em. If not maybe we can size swap 😀

[@BigDog8162.0]

Are they available in half sizes!?

[@ALWAYSFRESH4LIFE]

How much?

[@chrisbrewster3151]

$119

[@shakeandbreak2938]

I thought Natas was an American skateborder, and his parents went to America from Lithuania? The monkey is from the monkeys that were hidden in his graphics? Do your homework.

[@DavidBluetile]

I got the shoes a few hours before the release. I’m running a business. I wish I had more time to prep for the video but that’s not how these things work all the time. I basically made the video while I looked at them. You got a look at the shoes along with me and that was my point. The criticism is appreciated when it’s constructive. The attitude just makes you look like a snob.

[@jasonharris5201]

He changed his names spelling to do that. I’m pretty sure it is spelled Natus. All the best.
