** The Diadora Thread ** - Concepts "Rat Pack" N9000

From in hand pics, they look WAY darker than in promo pics. I guess that's why they're called promo pics. Anyways, I wish they were lighter, but they are called summer nights...

They are way darker. It is hard to differentiate the burgundy tone from the navy blue. It blends too much. 
 
Colorway looks good to me in pics n quality is #1 to me , I can't waste my money on a crap *** quality kicks. That's why I stopped messing with some jays

did you do a phone order? I did and I never got tracking number either, but I have a UPS account which notified me once BAIT initiated shipping with them.
 
first time winning an online raffle & my first pair of diadoras.

I like these but I'm a lil disappointed. my mind will probably change once I wear them.

  • leather & suede is nice but I felt $160 - $180 would of been a better price point.
  • Idk if it's this particular pair or all diadoras but man these run big. I went down .5 down and I still have a lil too much room for my liking.
  • either my pair doesn't have the best quality or I don't know my own strength. slight tear on one of my pull tabs after trying them on :smh:. i'd advise not pull on them.

I wouldn't have pulled on those to begin with, but it's good to let people know. Just hold the actual tongue or use your finger like a shoe horn to hold the heel.

Well because of the leather liner some guys went down a full size and were happy. Normally yes a half size down is adequate and the preferred size for most on the N9000. I went with my normal N9000 size and mine fit fine to me.
Since these were your first pair of Diadoras you may or may not know that no Diadora collab ever releases in the US and retails for less than $200 USD lol and the materials pretty much always warrant the price tag. Good luck finding a pair of Jordan retros with this kind of leather for $220 lol much less for $160-$180.
That's crazy about the tab though, I used mine and it's fine, hate to hear that about yours but appreciate the heads up. Any pics of the tear? Tongue tab or heel tab?

No complaints.  BAIT even helped me out the Monday after I was unable to pull the trigger on Saturday (as scheduled) due to account trouble.  Got prompt confirmation, tracking info.  Quality is very nice.  Love the colors in the flesh (which I'm saying because it seems others were disappointed with a difference between pic and in-hand).  Think they look really nice against any dark pant.

I gotta retract that statement I made earlier about the pricing. I def stretched it...don't know what I was sipping on. I really forgot how nice the suede and leather is compared to my jordans. can't forget about the 4 different sets of laces too. I was just being/thinking cheaply. I mean these were handcrafted in Italy for god sakes lol

I hear you but they probably won't do anything about it. Either my pair wasn't glued or stitched on tight enough at the factory or I just really pulled on it a lil too hard. The other heel tab is fine.
 
Interesting that everyone wanted the Solebox V7000 and now when selling at invoice, no one wants them :)) I guess size 12 is not that popular. 

Still happy with my Size 13, one of the nicest shoes ever!
 
View media item 1876151Came in today , so had to swap laces n try on was anxious to check the sizing. I went down .5 but could've went down a whole size for a snug fit if I went TTS it woulda been way to loose for my liking. Comfy *** hell tho the leather insole n inside shoe is so soft. I would like to see some grey laces on these.
