Title: abs shoes
Post by: rico4life on February 08, 2015, 09:59:55 PM

I wanted to know if anyone knows how to get the abs shoes that are from japan like the nv-4 or nv-3, they look like the original abs shoes before dynothane bought them out?

I got the NV4 by having my sister in law order them in Australia and my wife picked them up while visiting her sister!
GOOD LUCK!

I have tested a pair of NV4's and they were quite interesting.  As for the NV3s....  3G has the same shoes with a different logo...

I looked into these a few years ago and found out that the ABS versions infringed on a US patent.  I believe the 3g version have a leather trim around the outside of the removable slide sole and also have that hole in the center of the removable heel.  This allows them to get around the infringement in the US.  I did hear that someone was able to get a pair of the NV-4 style from a Canadian pro shop.  The NV-3 are pretty identical to the Tour Ultras from 3G, other than the bottom areas that I pointed out.
