Not sure but from my experience all the premium adidas drops...especially with leather insoles you should go down .5.
I.e. Went down .5 on all my nbhd adidas Mocs and the sns superstars (both had leather insoles)

Thanks for the advice. Can't find anything about them online unfortunately, even on IG it seems like hardly anyone has them.

Yeah I think the price is shying everyone away from them...it certainly did for me.
Especially since so many good releases as of late

Is DS King Push Adidas for DS Air Jordan 3 '88 an even trade?

I'd say the person getting the King Push is getting the better of that deal.

Man those tubulars getting ready to drop and the Made in Germany pack got my body ready. To bad my wallet is not. In the process of deciding rather to sell my house or rent it out and a move to Miami so my pockets are tied for the next few months... oh well hopefully they sit around for awhile.
Well maybe, if we decide to stay put wallet will be ready and multiple pairs will be copped.

I'm opposite, than the above poster's opinion. While the '88's probably aren't on par as the Push's in terms of quality, they're timeless. In terms of cost, I'm assuming they're fairly close, but if you plan on keeping your shoes for a while, which piece can you collection not go without? Mind you, I'm very biased, since OG Jordan 1s and 3s are my favorite in the Jordan collection. Additionally those all whites EQTs that released are pretty similar in looks as the King Push's, less the materials, quality, and story. All three I'm willing to live without if I had to give up my '88s. If money is your concern, I'm willing to be a few years down the line, those '88s will probably go for more, but again, just MY opionion. But for every person who echo my sentiment, there are probably equally as many who favor the King Push's. 2 years down the line, are you going to hate yourself for making this trade? Now, if you have like 5 pairs of '88s, then that's probably an entirely different story.

From a sheer volume standpoint, DS 88's are FAR easier to find than DS pusha's though...

I have the King Push, however they are a size too big for me and I can't find a pair in the next size down, so I was preparing to sell them for a pair of 88s. I love the King Push, however I would rather get something I could rock.

That's true, but for ME, I wouldn't do it. I'd much rather have the '88s. In 3 years from now, I'm sure people will still be trying to go after '88s. Pusha's? Not so sure. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful shoe and if I had an opportunity to buy at retail, I probably would. But 3s also were my first Jordan and I was in middle/school when Jordan was at his peak. I have a different story, and so does everyone else.

True... and in term of cost they're already more expensive and their value will increase...

The thing about the '88s is you can pretty much rest assured you'll see them again in the same (or even better) form within 5-10 years. Can't really say the same for the Pushas.

Did anyone order the SL Loop Mocs from Puffer Reds? They charged my card but I still haven't received anything more than an email. I checked my order status on their site and it says pending. Just wondering if anyone on here ordered and received them?

pushs are in no way even remotely close to the 88s
the market of people who'd pay resell for the pushs are way lower than who'd pay resell for the 88s
pushs are a super niche shoe

He means that you'll find more people willing to drop $650 on 88s than $650 on King Pushs. It only takes one, but you have a wider field to find that one with 88s.

what are you showing?
I'm saying there are million more people who'd buy the 88s over the pushs
if you had to sell the pushs the places where they'd sell are smaller
if I put the pushs up on houston craigslist they wouldn't get looked at id have to put em on ebay or flightclub
88s will sell anywhere

Yeah, pretty much my thoughts. If you're speaking in relative terms, it's not even close. Honest and truly, do you think people are going to be looking for Pusha's 5 years down the line? Outside of a few, I personally don't think so. Regardless if they're are far more '88s, doesn't matter, MJ is icon and his shoes stood the test of time. Don't get me wrong, King Push's are a beautiful shoe, but my own impression is it hardly anyone will even be looking for these or the next year or so. If these forums are any indication, they're not even in the same stratospheres. I haven't been in the '88 forum in forever, but that thread is in the 500-700 page range. You'd be lucky to get 10 - 15 pages if King Push had its own thread (he may, but I'm too lazy to look, honestly).
Despite all that, if anyone feels they like the King Push's better, by all means, please, get that. But if we're discussing in simple terms of what will be worth or desired more, I honestly believe it's the '88s, and it's not even close. Just because someone posts a price, it doesn't mean they'll get it. Further, like All Ready alluded to, it's a niche market. If you get the price for the KPs you're looking in the future fast, consider yourself lucky, but I'd expect to sit on them a while till you find the right buyer. '88s have a more universal appeal. That doesn't mean people are chomping at the bit to spend $500 for either shoe, but I'd imagine '88s would go faster than the KPs. Hell, I'm sure a lot of people don't even know the KPs even exist. And again, like All Ready mentioned, post the KPs in the Houston Craigslist, you may see one pair. Ask some dude from Iowa about KPs, he probably has no damn of what you're even talking about, much less who Pusha is.
At the end of the day, the KPs are a beautiful shoe with far superior materials, but they'll never be a Nike Air Jordan. To a few, that's a great thing. For the masses, they want their Jordan's ... particularly with the OG treatment.

Just want to confirm 2 things:
1) the cream/wht EQT guidance "mock Pushas" have NOT dropped stateside yet, right? Adi.com says "out of stock," but I know they do that pre-release (see: http://m.adidas.com/us/equipment-running-guidance-93/B25296.html)
2) Guidance are either TTS or .5 down, compared to EQT Support, which are full size down, correct? So if I'm a 10 in Nike, 9.5 in ZX Flux & 9 in Support, I would be a 9.5 (maaaaybe a 10) in Guidance?
Want these, since I am lacking $600+ for Pushas....

1) I'm pretty sure they were already on Adidas.com and I think someone mentioned another site earlier in this thread.
2) Sounds right. I don't have a wide foot, so I cannot speak to that. But what I can remember in the forum is that your sizing info is inline with what others have said. I have the Supports and a full size down fit perfect.
