Apologies if this has been covered already, been out of the thread for a week or 2. Got my asgs when they dropped, didn't try them on until today. Is anyone else having a sever pinch around the bottom of the big toe? I bought to ball in but ihad way too much discomfort when walking, wondering if I should try and break them in or just return?

curious to see responses as I have the same problem. wondering if all x models have the same problem or if it's just the AS. afraid to break them in due to the material peeling. fits fine for me going up 1/2 but that pinch is bothersome.
 
Well I suppose the shipping notice I just got on the ASG's will have to be consolation for missing out on those SNS Blackouts. Ah well, I'll wait for another deal to pop up.
 
With SNS always use mobile and if it says sold out keep trying to add to cart. Also you don't get cart jacked with them, you have 7 minutes to checkout.

As I narrow footer, I am going to try the half size down experiment tomorrow gonna pick up a 12.5 and a 13 to see what fits best. These are longer than the 9's and half size down was barely too small last year so ima try it out.

KD's garbage shoes literally broke his feet. Jokes aside Nike literally makes some of the worst shoes on the market. Their athletic plastics are absolutly horrible.

The fact that he's essentially a 6-10 shooting guard playing at nba speed and intensity putting pressure on those joints probably has more to do with it than his shoes.
 
I'm taking my 5AMs back as well. Just not feeling them for $194.85. Looks good, but not that good. I'll pick them up later when these are off the exclusion list at FTL.
 
My friends wants to sell me his allstars for $175. considering pulling the trigger although I like the 5 am more and I hate the chipping away of the fuse on the asgs.
 
Went to HOH on 34th and checked out the AS pair. You know it's bad when the display pair shows some peeling on the toe. I can't lie they are super comfortable but for 200 it's an easy pass. Kobe 8 prices would have been tolerable at 140 for the 10s. I just can't justify the price when they are falling apart on the shelf.

Seen the blackouts today too in person and had the chance to cop but 180 is too much. Very dope shoe in person and way better than 5ams to me.

But yea his injury has nothing to do with his shoes, thats one of the dumbest things people say when players get hurt

Bro nike doesnt make close to the worst shoes on the market, but they do have their clunkers (Nike kobe 7)

Their quality has fallen off greatly but they can come through with great performance quicks,
 
Went to HOH and tried on the asg.just wanted to confirm size. I wore elite socks and TTS is perfect. They are a little snug but I didn't loosen up laces too much and I'm sure after break in they will be fine.
 
Am I the only one who never had a problem with the Kobe 7's? I honestly love the 7's. Some of the colorways were terrible but I loved the design and I got great performance out of them.
 
Question to the peeps that ball/workout in these,

If you had to make a comparison to one of the past kobes which ones do they resemble the most?
