are people wearing these as casual sneakers or to ball in? i have two pairs of 34s (black cats and eclipse). the black cats are my dedicated court sneakers and just amazing all around. the arch is slightly too high, but trimming the insole solved that. haven't worn the eclipse pair yet, but...

thanks! both the outsole and midsole are wolf grey.

tried out a casual off the court type design. something along the line of the nike lifestyle variety. color scheme on these might be low key for some, but this is exactly what i was aiming for. so glad they brought back the team red upper....

that's exactly what happened to mine. and only on the right front zoom bag too. don't know how many people had popped zoom bags on the right front, but makes me wonder if there was a specific issue with the design or air bag for the right side shoe only. either way i played in my replacements...

:{ that blows. there has to be a reason they determined it wasn't a manufacturing flaw. perhaps they thought the shoes were tampered with? you should call them and request a written explanation. as for jordans being marketing scam...ehhh...the retros maybe..but these xx8 se i'm not so...

at least nike is doing the right thing by those of us who returned defective pairs. they sent me this for the pair i returned with a popped zoom bag... ....only problem is i can't get another pair of xx8 se on nike.com. :rolleyes such a shame how delicate this model turned out to...

thanks man. the nikeid rendering doesn't do this shoe justice imo. i was skeptical until i got them in hand. really nice model and they feel great on feet. i'll probably pull the trigger on another pair. something with the team red upper. :smokin

from what i've seen the xx9 sole is different from the xx8 model. with the xx9 the airbag in the forefoot is more recessed and doesn't poke out as much as the xx8 does. hopefully this means the xx9 will be less likely to have the popping issue since not as much force will be directly on the...

i don't think these have any kind of water repellent material or treatment. i poured a cup of water over the knit material and it soaked it right up like a shamwow :lol the toe and heel do have that tape like material that is wear and weather resistant though. fortunately i have the black...

i normally wear a size 13 in nike basketball shoes and runners. for these i would have gone a full size down to a 12 for a more naturally snug fit. this shoe is very roomy and without the additional insole my feet slide around in the 13 i got.

for those of you who ordered you fsb chukkas tts, but they're too big.... buy a pair of generic $2 insoles and put them under the nike insoles. you'll have two insoles in the shoe which takes up the extra space to make them fit just right. tried this with my fsb chukkas and it works like a...

my two pairs came in. really disappointed with the midsole paint quality. looks like it was painted on very lightly with a thick paint brush. looks especially bad on the back near the heel. returned the same day and not sure i'm going to reorder. quality control could be why there were...

nikeid says my orders started on the 6th and the 8th. i was stalking nikeid when they first came up, but they didn't show available to design. as soon as they came up i threw a few together. glad i didn't wait and got them in before they started acting up again. here's what i ordered...

solid color foams >>>> graphic pattern foams. with only a few exceptions like the galaxy, oregon, and maybe the camo foams with the gum sole. the stealths are still the only pair of foams i own, but i'm eyeing the royals waiting for a good deal. the matte finish really makes the shoe for...
