Yeah as far as the big 4 (Eastbay, Champs, Footlocker, Footaction) Footaction was the only location to get the Emeralds in store...I got mine from them at least a month or so ago. But they are at Kicks USA, Eblens, maybe other places like City Gear, DTLR etc. END has them as well. The release on them was strange, but they are definitely out there.

This was a sneaker that was a must cop in person,all the factory issues & I can only imagine that big box coming in that plastic bag..all my boxes looked so clean I didn't want this one to be squashed & the last pair I needed to be cover in glue & bad paint applications.

Alright here's my story on these....I always like the nike pump series so when I heard these were going to retro, I was pretty hyped about it. Ended up trying on my tts 12 and I already knew it wasn't going to work out as the toe box on these run narrow. Now with that said I have long narrow feet with my right foot being .25 bigger than the left so I went ahead and ordered a 12.5 from eastbay and upon arrival, I could see they shipped in the white bag smh!
Box came beat...shoes we're alright though, pumps were also except on one of them, the pump was more sticky than the other? Anyways I went to try them on and at first I was thinking they were good until I started to walk around and I noticed the heal cushioning pushes your foot forward a lot to the point where my toes would touch the end (I don't see how anybody was going .5 down in these honestly).... I couldn't deal with this so ended up sending them back and got a size 13 that was perfect for me. There's a tiny bit of space which is good because my feet aren't touching the end of the shoes anymore and I also noticed the more you pump, the better it works. So for anyone looking to to buy these go AT LEAST .5 up from tts but I would recommend a full size.

Half or full size up is subjective on these IMO. I went TTS and they feel fine. These are everywhere so just try them on first.

Majorities concensus is to go up half a size, only like a half dozen people in here who could manage tts.

I went regular size on every pair..Volt's felt small then I completely relaced them & they fit fine..but like dude said,it is different person to person..it's not like they give us the short & fat foot option or ppl that have long feet,I imagine they run into a sneaker being too wide when they go up a size once in a while.

I need to try relacing but i doubt it helps in the toe box

I would think not..just helps at the last holes at the bottom..helps for me..that is usually where I run into sizing issues..sometimes just doing the laces over loosely helps..I missed out on the Green Max Trainer 2 because I could not get them on in a store in any size..I got the UTT as a gift at the same time not thinking I would wear them,the other pair didn't fit,just to try it,I unlaced them & they fit perfectly fine.

I can fit 8.5 and 9 most of the time and I actually prefer the 8.5 but for many shoes I own. Like a lot of the complaints I've seen the last lace holes closest to the toebox was a tight at the top of my foot and forced me to return my 8.5 & go up to a 9.

Inflation adjustment brought them to almost $320..could have been worse..do I want to drop $200 regularly on kicks..nah..but wit this model,I understand the price point..definitely grabbing up another pair of them for the low..they're still sitting at a couple spots.

Lol so since I went with my true size on these that means I MUST have chopped my toes off somewhere down the line? Na Noble, my feet happen to be normal and TTS on these works for me. Everybody's feet are different hence the reason I suggest people try them on first and of course *loosen the laces
