I've been lurking like a MF. Thanks duke for posting this review on the premium Force Vectors. I ordered them and have been as impatient as possible on the shipping. Can't wait to hoop in em and as you know.. There was nothing on the premiums. Thank you thank you. -that adhd
Thanks others for the pics on the tans.

is the leather just as good on the black as the tan?

As good but different. The blacks are are tumbled, softer out of the box leather. The tans are like a dress shoe, nubuck type finish. But not nubuck. Hard to explain if you haven't seen Vachetta, but super-high quality.

^I've been wearing these vachettas around and swear I'm ready to take them to the gym
trying to resist when I hoop this weekend and play in something else
I have a feeling that the leather pair is going to be better for me on court than the J.C II. Do not get me wrong, the J.C II is a joy to play in, but having tried out most of the woven uppers from all brands, I really think leather or a more reinforced synthetic (i suppose reinforced woven) is what I need. Just something that holds the foot a little tighter seems to keep everything together when you're moving fast.
@duke40 haven't played in the leathers yet, but just walking around with them, I think you're spot on when you mentioned that there is a little less mush or lag with the extra support from the upper. Haven't grabbed the black pair yet but it will happen

I tried to cart a 11.5, and all three colors are showing as sold out.
I have a feeling it's like Revolve not carrying half sizes over 10.5.

BHM J.C II is on the horizon to drop at quite a few spots (online for the most part I'm guessing). Great colorway, but I'm going to save $ for a pair of the 3s or Ethers

Can you go down .5 in those Vachetta Vectors?

Yes, I went with the same size that I have in the J.C II, which is .5 down -- they fit well and will be even better with break-in.
You could stay true and be just fine, but I'm glad I went with the .5 down. Especially with a foot on the narrow side

JC IIs anywhere under retail?

I have a feeling they are around below retail, but the shops I can think of off the top of my head don't have em.
When finishline had sizes, you could get them for a pretty solid price.
edit: Only a size 9 and a 10, but $125 for either the glacier or oxblood pairs. Slightly under retail

The more is see the JCII, the more I think the design is fantastic. I hope BB will produce this shoe again and again, the special colorways (seahawl, legends, BHM, etc) should be available for a lot more people... Including me!

Brandblack keeps saying "soon" or "very soon" on Twitter. No official dates as far as I know though...
