Justin Henry is a force to be reckoned with right now and is one of the many pieces of the New Balance puzzle that makes this squad one of the heaviest hitting teams in skateboarding. It appears that he's next in line to add his own personal touch to the iconic 440 Hi V2 silhouette and New Balance just teased the first look. Peep 'em below! These look pretty sick.
The caption simply says, "Justin Henry Knows Better" and I mean, shoot, they aren't wrong. Everything from the laces to the subtle little hints of branding make these kicks stand out in their own unique way. It'll be hard to miss these the shoe wall of your local shop, and if that was one of the goals, they definitely nailed it.
New Balance has really kept the hits coming this year. They've dropped some great collabs, incredible videos and a ton of fresh new colorways and updates to some of their most adored and recognized shoes. And as we see here, the hits keep coming.
Years ago, Justin had a Check Out in the mag when we were still printing one, and even then it was clear he was going places. Since then, he certainly has. Pro for Quasi, properly situated on the New Balance roster, and I'm just barely scratching the surface here. But the point is, he's a real one.
You could argue that attitude and the way you carry yourself off the board are even more important than your trick selection and ability to stack clips, but Justin is the full package. He's got a good head on his shoulders and honestly, it shows when he skates. The dude is powerful and really lets his skating do the talking. And I'll always personally admire skaters like that.
Not exactly sure when these are dropping, but keep your eyes peeled! We'll do the same. In the meantime, tap that post above and revisit his Video Check Out from 2016. Yeah, Justin!
