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

So if the soleboxes fit the same as other n9000s that are not the Sol, should I go up half a size from what I got in the sol?

How do your Sols fit? I have mine in my preferred US8, and they fit (imo) slightly bigger than the others I have in a US8 (Saturday Specials, Transit II's and Italias) probably because the materials used are very soft, if they fit really snug I'd go up a half size, if they fit somewhat snug to a little a loose, I'd stay the same size. They aren't massively bigger than the others, just big enough for those who like a really snug fit to perhaps go down an extra half size!

I went down a half size from my usual 8 in Nike/Jordan etc to a 7.5 in the Sols and they fit great, if anything just a tiny bit snug.

are you also a 8 in 998/997 NBs?  what about gl3/glv?  i think we have similar feet
 
My Sols and Sombras are 7.5 and my NB 998/997 size is 8 and they fit me perfect. Italias fit me big too, could probably have gone down to a 7.5 in them too.

Seems that we have the same sized feet boys..  @Ross94  @ohwussup  @t4t3r

I think length-wise we're similar, but you have wider feet than i do. I go for 8.5 for both Asics GL3/V.

Yeah length wise, my feet aren't that wide, it's just the top of my foot to where it meets the ankle is quite big, gel lyte iii's tongue would be completely open in a 8.5

Lol and for me GL3 tongues would be overlapping in an 8.5.

I don't think i've ever been so aware of how my feet are shaped.
 
thanks for the input.  its just scary to have to pay resell and get the wrong size.  I think i'll be snug in a 8 but safe in a 8.5 but maybe loose?  i'm 9 in asics/nike and 8/8.5 in NB

i don't think there is such a massive difference in sizes that your feet would be swimming in an 8.5, it's probably a safe bet! I'd guess they'd fit like the saturday specials going by materials so I'll be going for a US8!

Sol

you can see the difference between the suede on the left toe and the right toe and also the mark which is also on the left toe... if I got a perfect pair, they'd probably be my favourite but because they didn't Hanon 1 > Espresso > Transit II = Sombra > Sol = Italia

This is my point about this weak kilates release. When you gotta spend 200 plus on kicks and you gotta hope for a good pair, then this is a problem. I guess it's more Diadora's fault than Kilates though.
 
Looking forward to this year or should I say diadora year. Defo going to be there year.

All abroad !!!

yeah, basically a lucky dip if you get a good pair or not, and I don;t think that's good enough when you are spending £140/$200 on a pair. diadora hopefully learnt a lot from this release!

The lesson learned is that we sneakerheads will keep buying up N9000's faster than they can make them!

I think that was a big issue with these, the 24 kilates collab came out of nowhere (little rumours) so I suspect these were made quite close to the launch and the probably had to speed up production to get them ready
 
hey guys looking to pick up my first pair of diadoras. have been eyeing the italias. what would be a fair price? i have a seller asking for 225
