Finally tried mine on as well. I agree they run a little long, but no way could I have dropped down a half size and still been comfortable.

And totally with all you guys saying the comfort level of the Ultras blows the Labs away. Not even close. Gonna have to get the OG color when they drop down a little more.

Peace,

Rockin mine today. Didn't notice confort over and above the other spiris, I was right to go down a half size though.

true to size was cool for me. i tried a half size up and a half size down as well. half size up way too long (pause) and half size down was too snug. 9.5 is a little loose than my other 9.5s but still  a better fit than the 9 or 10.

Nah. I copped a 9 and it's too small for me. I wear 9s in Jordan's and 9.5 in racers.

It's crazy how much people asking for OGs in my size 14... makes me appreciate my ultras even more

I hate you

There's a slight bit of slippage in the 13 but not enough to create concern. I'll live w/ them.

Sorry, I hated the Ultras. Way too narrow compared to the Regular Spiridons. The Ultras hurt the bottom of my arch, while the Spiridons fit perfectly.

After  a couple days of wear I'm sending my 12.5 Ultras back to Nike, way too long. The sz 12 Ultras I scopped on Ruvilla on discount fit wayyyy better.

Local Finishline had the Ultra's for $140 with an additional 20%. First time trying these own, half size down and they felt super comfortable. Might have to go back and scoop when the price gets lower for summer.

Fnl has the same promotion price online. Can also use code 10valentine for additional 10 off. Shipping sucks but I think it's a pretty decent price. Tempted to cop a pair if still available after this weekend.

Was about to pull the trigger on a pair of 16 OG from Japan and stumbled across my size on stockx for 250. Jumped on it. Everything works out and they will be here next week

I agree for the most part. Every once in a while they get it right though ie: Flyknit force 1, SF AF1, Flyknit AM1. I know its not saying much, but these are the best ultra to date IMO.

Im guessing most people here are in the Northern Hemisphere and certainly for winter these shoes are not the go. Its summer in Australia, so these with shorts just casually are great, they are light and extremely comfortable, have had a lot of comments, especially from non-sneaker loving friends who say these are the best shoes they have seen in a while. OG would be great, but given their limited and costly availability this is the next best thing.
