^No problem man. Trying on and walking around are two different things. Walk around your house in that 9 and see how it feels.

Imo Nike should have released these in the Spring and done more neon colors (i.e. Gold, Tangerine, Green, Violet, Turquoise, etc...)
I still wish they had a black tennis ball pair. They would have been something serious.

A) I hope it wasn't at Niketown
b) if it was, i hope it wasn't a sz 8.5
this has got to be one of the most randomest/hardest/no hardest/hardest release i've ever dealt with...
so the 1st go round i got a pair off of a fellow NT'r in AUS, he was only able to get me a sz 10 though, no biggie, if they don't fit (i'm a 9)i'll just sell em back. So they arrive, i try them around the house, and nope, didn't work out, so i sold them
then i hear jibber jabber about it being a Int'l release only, and i start to go
but people were saying that, that same day NT's nation wide were doing phone orders....so call up a few stores, all said no more...but ahhh Chicago,somebody said they still had some size 9's left
So i call them, get to the men's department, and ask about the 9...the guy on the phone is pretty weird..first he is like, ok sure hold on, then he comesback on the phone, "umm somebody is trying them on, can you call back in a bit" "sure when" "umm 20-25 mins, thanks".... i'mliterally like
...
ok sure wuddev, call back AGAIN, but this time NT chicago's phone goes STRAIGHT, and i mean STRAIGHT to their voicemail system for a GOOD 20mins...
So eventually After that time frame, i called, and asked about the sz 9....the guy says, we just sold them to another phone order (....wow!) but i ask for a8.5 or 9.5, and he says they have a 8.5
...so i track it down, and my shoes were delivered on the 4th!?!?!?! but wait hold on!, fedex claims that the address was INCORRECT, and doesn't exist blahbllah blah.....sept 8th, the package was sent back, i check the "new" tracking info, and on the 11th...it was received by Niketown chicago....
so i talk to the manager, and he's like oh well, we have no idea, let us get back to you
so i'm just mad at how NT chicago's business practice is, i visited the stor eback in like '05 too, didn't seem bad at all! but this situationDEF. made me go
either they'll "find" my shoes, the guy says, and ship them overnight, or they'll give me a refund and "great service nexttime"....
-end rant, carry on

You gotta do what you have to man. If you really want a second pair in the future, you'll be able to find it.

If the Tennis Balls were purple or any other color... you guys couldn't call them TB's...
And then who knows how the release would have gone.. lol
You would have renamed them Fuzzy Wuzzy's...

^^^ Speedy, you're right. all shoes are always obtainable. regardless of how many years pass by.
^^ LB, nice stuff. Im not gonna get rid of my pair just yet. but if i have to,i will.
^ Rock, what up. still waiting for your sz.11 to arrive
It should be in today since i got a pair yesterday from sneakerhead. Once it comes in Ill hit youup and ship em out.
Is it just me or is this thread the only thread in Nike/Retro/JB that comes close to how NT USED to be?
