Found em at an HoH store, loved the feel, but wife was not feeling the design at all. Usually I don't rely on her opinion, but when knowingly spending that much on a shoe, I get her input to see if she at least likes it. I'm sure another cw will drop that we both agree on lol. That and I didn't like the idea of paying tax on shoes that expensive, considering we're tax exempt back home in PA

The black/orange are definitely my favorite. I initially purchased the cement print ones but they looked off in person so I sent them back. For whatever reason they fit smaller than the Orange ones.

I went ahead and got the Orange ones from the Kix Square link that you posted a week ago and I clearly ordered a size 10, even my confirmation email said so. I finally got them and was soo hyped and I look and they sent me a 10.5 (too big, my tts is a 9.5) and now they already sold out and can't even exchange, so I sent them an email to Every single address that they have possible and 10hrs later they finally respond and have the Nerve to ask if they fit, if nah, to just return. Now I replied and said that they should send me a return label since it was their f-up and I shouldn't pay to return, since it's not my fault. That was 23hrs ago and Still no response, Obviously Horrible service. That's what I get for not shopping at a reputable site aka FTLocker, Finishline etc.
Not blaming anyone, just informing.

DON'T buy from Kix Square!!!!!!
 
Ya some people say kixsquare is great

others on NT have had problems

I have used them locally and they seem to be fine

that is ******. yeah I'm never going to buy from those little weird name sites. I honestly wouldn't trust any site like that now days with all this "grey market" crap going around. not saying that those sites are pushing GM or anything but yeah big chain retailers or bust for me.

I just hooped in these a couple of hours ago, I feel like, these aren't really worth 225 . Shoe made my feet sweat n gave me blisters.
Maybe this shoe is really that hype but I prefer the 28s over these , I even prefer the kobe 9s overnthese 29s
I wish I can return these n get my money back. Not really satisfied
. It does have good grip tho lol

Needed to take a break from my team oranges. Went back to my XX8 SEs and played in them for 90 min. Forefoot zoom is noticeably squishier in the XX8. Heel zoom is feels good on hard landings. No knee pain. Not as light as the XX9s nor is the ventilation as good. Traction seems about the same between the shoes. Heel to toe is transition is good in the XX8s, but it sure felt like a step down from the excellent heel to toe in the XX9s. Fit in general is better on the XX9s, though I like how the XX8s feel like there is a little more material around the ankle. I'm not sure it is more effective, but it feels nice. Will get back to playing in my XX9s this weekend or early next week.

After two weeks of playing in the team oranges I decided to return them. After the first few days I was consistently getting leg and knee pain with some shin splints. I never get shin splints in any other basketball shoes. As much as I loved the fit and heel to toe transition, I just could not justify to keep playing through the pain and hoping it would get better. I still believe these are very good shoes for lighter players. These just don't work for me and my body. I'm back to playing in my XX8s and will look to try out the Lebron XIIs next.

These and the ones Russy brought out a few weeks ago are not that bad. i think i would go with these though.

Wonder will Mr. MVP Kawhi have a special pair for opening night.

Going back the 2012's to me were the worst. I don't think we saw a lot of guys rock them. I think the Jordan guys did for All-Star but that was about it.

The 2011's were nice to me :smh: missed out on those Wolf Grey/Red joints....one day maybe.

hmm...that sucks for you. i played twice in my team red xx9 now (about 1.5-two hrs each time), no foot pain, no knee soreness, and definitely no shin splints. The heel impact I felt it is better than the xx8s. my blk/red xx8 SE has been giving me heel pain on my left foot. i'm not sure if the heel zoom popped or something.

I haven't tried em on yet, but my wife had the same feeling toward them as yours..And I get my wife's opinion on shoes when I'm dropping over 150 on a pair..If I don't have her to calm me down from that "shoe high" then I'll buy anything I can get my hands on..She's diggin' the White/Black colorway so I think I'm going to hold out til those hit shelves and possibly cop those..
 
^^thats dejavu for me. Replaced a pair of white/red/black 4's this year because my pup at Jordan's head and arm on the heel tab.
