I sized down as well. Found this interesting that my true size seemed to have way too much room, at least length-wise

Yeah these are waay longer than older models. I always like a lil extra toe room, but these have too much.

Might size down further if I ever come around and start liking this model, but dunno if it'll be too small width wise.

Then again I own one pair of the v and they feel like pillows on my feet while Many complain of upper foot pain.
 
Everyone who ordered from Bodega, check your shipping status. Mine will be home today!

Agree with you guys about the extra toe room, I tried on my usual size 12 and felt like I was swimming. Didn't bother to try on anything lower than that. I have an iD already on its way in a 12 so we'll see how it goes after multiple wears. Don't have to make a decision until the Meteorology comes out so I'll have plenty of time to wear my iD's before then.

Of my pairs of V's, only the ASG gave me any upper foot pain but that was only on the first wear. The IV is what gives me consistent pain.

When I sized down the width was definitely noticeable, they were tighter.  But since I'll be hooping in them and the more I walked around in them they felt perfect.  And I'm sure they'll get a little roomier as they break in.

I can see why with wider feet it could be a problem though.
 
Got these in today, for me they are perfect width but a half size too long. damn. Should I ship them back? Never had a problem like this

I had this same exact situation and decided to go a half size down.  It then felt a little snug width-wise, but I am happy I went lower after an initial test run.

Will you be using them to hoop in or more for casual use?

In terms of being casual though, that length might not be a huge issue.  I would lace them up and just walk around for a while and see how they are.
 
Was reading this story earlier, couple factoids you might be interested in:

http://newsok.com/more-from-the-kevin-durant-d.c.-experience/article/3859325
  • Durant on his decision to go with a low top shoe: “I wanted to try something new from what I was doing before. Everything I had was either mid or high cut. So I just wanted to go low and see how it worked.”
  • Durant on when the KD VII might be ready: “I’m sure it’s almost done, to be honest, the way these guys work. We always want to be ahead of schedule.”
  • Durant on new stories he’d like to incorporate into future shoes: “I want to bring a story of me and my brother as kids. We would do everything together. We would catch the bus in the morning. He’d drop me off at school, make sure I was all right on the bus at school and he would go off to school. And he kind of took care of me when my mom was working all the time. So some way we’re going to figure something out and bring that to a shoe because it meant so much to me as a kid growing up and I really appreciate it now.”

Anyone ball in these yet? I wanna know how they perform on court
Click to expand...

Have done a lot of of training in them so far in the realm of football drills on court, as well as incorporated them into my lifts. Hella responsive when changing direction, very "sticky". Great for agility, beast in the squat rack, but I fear they may not be as durable in the long run and I question whether they will be good at all when the sole wears down. But just check out nightwing for an actual bball perf. review, just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents. Overall great shoe but question its lifespan.
 
I put these on today and I liked then but I may not cop any pairs until I find one I really like. I had that hot spot where the lacing is at the toes but I don't like the feel of the material. It doesn't seem to compare to the other hyperfuse nike basketball shoes in terms of quality. This is a good shoe but the rubber is very pliable also so these should be played on indoor courts. The rubber on the bottom is gonna wear away very quickly which measles me think that if people will be playing in these they may have to double up on cws

Anyone in here get lucky on the Supreme restock?
Click to expand...

Nope wanted them and mambacurials. Nike hasn't completely remove the web page but is says sold out maybe I might get lucky (no way in hell but I'm trying to control my emotions right now) so damn close ugh. Resellers want 500-800 for these.
 
Yeah I need these in a 13... But I'm not paying reseller fees. But some of the stuff I'm willing to trade for them is borderline stupid.
 
Supremes were the only thing I wanted. Click the link 2 minutes after its tweeted and everything is sold out. some of yalls credit cards got to be maxxed. :lol:
 
^ nice work...

Bummed I missed them...I was at AAU practice, my phone was in the car and was blowing up. Just how it goes I guess.

Congrats to those who got a pair.
