Wtf does a sell-out have to do with your order???? Had you already posted your ebay listing or something??? Asics thread reading like a JB thread...
 
I've only owned one pair which I bought a couple of months ago at Burlington Coat Factory for $40. I've worn Saucony, New Balance, Puma, Adidas thoughout my life but I just never copped Asics. I'm a size 12 and these are size 13 but they feel more like a 12. Dug the blue/orange colorway but they seem more like Miami colors than NYC colors. Still, my first pair and I'll cop more in the future.



Great price, those were one of my first pairs of Asics, and now I'm like 30 prs deep. And good for you for getting the GL3 sizing right the first time; I had to try pairs on when I was visiting my bro in NYC to see how they fit because shops by me hadn't started caryying them yet.
 
I'm still waiting to pop my asics cherry lol.

Grab a GR GL3 or GLV on deep discount as your first pair. There are lots of great GR colorways that mimic recent collabs that you can get for $50-75. I find GL3s the most comfortable and better looking, but a lot of cats prefer the lower-profile of the GLV. Regardless, go at least .5 size up from your regular Nike size (though your Air Max 1 size should match up well) for either pair, but I go a full size up on GL3s (an 11 in GL3 as opposed to 10 in Nike and 10.5 in AM1).

Also, keep in mind there are some great pairs recently that are waterproof or Gore-Tex, if you live in a snowy/rainy winter climate. Might be a good late-year pickup.

Thanks for the info man, I've seen many CWs I liked but have hard a hard time with the sizing. I have weird feet but in Saucony models I'm a 11. So I may go with that size for my first pair. The all red pair that came out this past feburary, was that a GL3 model or GLV?
 
Repped!!!!


Good looking


A second late for a 12 but wound up with a 13.... Anyone know if these fit like the footpatrols?


Nah I tried them on real quick and FP def fit bigger for me


Hope that's not true for me. Went to Bait in San Diego and someone snagged the 9.5 I needed (or think I do). They had a 10 left, so I asked if I could try them on, and the guy there said they preferred I didn't, which I thought was odd, but whatever. My FPs had some heel slippage in my normal 10, so I just passed on the HALs. I didn't want to grab someone's size that would actually wear them and trading just seems like a huge headache. Overall nice shoe and thankfully the resale prices aren't absurd; however, reading your response, I hope I didn't make a mistake passing ...

Not sure which one you mean. These?

It was the Gel Lyte 5 model lol. Those are really clean imo. 

Ah, gotcha. Ok, so I'm a 10 in most Sauconys, except for 6Ks and G9 Shadow 6's (which I go 9.5).

I go 10.5/11 in GLVs. Both fit well.

Btw, Asphalt Gold's "Fitting Room" mobile app is pretty good for brand/model size comparisons, although I just find it easier to match up CM sizing, as I'm pretty much a 28 cm in everything.
 
Can't believe I missed on the Packers show...
I was having lunch (in a diff time zone).

Hope fam who need em copped...
Cause I really think this joint was the hardest apart from Mita's
 
I may make another HAL run today and I'm willing to help whoever needs. Pm me if so. And you gotta be willing to gift me retail plus tax and ship and also be patient because I got a lot of stuff to ship. Also, USA only.

Repped, just because you da man, still. [emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]
