New Balance CT300's and 520's
New Balance CT300's and 520's
I found new balance CT300's on zappos.com (http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/10409911/c/750.html) and I remembered from somewhere that people use the CT300's for freestyle. If anybody has used them or uses them what are the pros and cons of them?
Do they require modding or are they fine as is? I'm really interested
I just found new balance ct520's on zappos.com too, how do they compare to the new balance ct300's I bought the ct300's last night, but since the 520 is canvas it may be better, Im not sure though...

you mod them like mesh lavers. Cut the toe stitching, take out the inside material. Blah blah. Take out tongue padding.
ive posted a review in about 500 different places of these shoes. search for CT 300 with HenryG as the author and you will find it.

Different strokes for different folks. I've played in both models extensively, and at this point in my game if I had to go back to one or the other, I would go back to the 520.
The leather is questionable. It would make you play more crisply, for sure, but that's still a pretty slippery surface you would have to deal with. The 520's surface is decent, but they have a pretty puffy ankle area to deal with.
Do like Henry says and look up old reviews.
Also, if you were to search by his username, you would want to search by 'HG' not 'HenryG.' That sort of thing is changed retroactively.

You're new and you're young. There is no reason I can see getting for CT's.
Use lavers till your guiltless.

Ive seen this done before by Ben Roscoe. He used Noir for the toes and some grip mesh for the insides. I think this mod. is pretty sweet and i might do it to a pair of my old ripped up leather lavers.Matt Cross wrote:if you want to be a real BAMF, you COULD entirely cut out the inside and toe and replace the material with facile. I've seen this done on a few shoes, if you can do it in a stable way, it could be a good surface.
