FYW was dope, I'm sure quite a few can attest to them. My brother visited for the holidays and was rocking my TS Creators that I forgot I gave him smh. Great condition too.

I'd love to try the Kyries....that outsole looks beastly. I would say the heel only zoom might deter me, but if I can tolerate Charged cushioning, I'll be ok with phylon.

Tried the Kyie's on TTS. Nothing about them is too appealing to me, especially compared to Harden Vol1. Forefoot felt "woobly" laterally I guess you would say, with the rolled outsole edges. Not for me.  Forefoot felt roomy. 
 
Just saw the home's at Champs.
Also saw the Whites and Xeno and Pioneers at HoH/Foot Locker.

Still happy with my Pioneers from release weekend

Hi is the 13below zero still available? I wonder if someone can hook me up with a pair.
We have no luck here in Hong Kong... They don't even release it and only give us boring colours.

Finally took my Pioneers to play some quick runs. Traction was really solid (on a decently kept court) and the Boost felt bouncy, yet stable. The weight wasn't an issue, but the lockdown in the heel wasn't as secure on my feet as I would like. The popping is almost gone with around 3 hrs of play, which is good news cuz it was starting to irritate me haha. All in all I'm impressed. To compare it to my Pre-Heat KD9s, which I also just just tried, I'd take the Hardens for its stability and grip.

Similar to my experience with the Hardens vs KD 9s. Both are good shoes, but the Hardens seem to work better for me.
 
^KD9s are definitely a solid choice. The ride is just so smooth. I've had ankle issues in the past, so I'm a bit wary of making hard cuts and stops with that 360 zoom setup. The Hardens offer a similar ride, but the base is more stable laterally imo.
 
To be honest, I'm quite disappointed. I love the colorway, but for a "premium" version of my all time favourite shoe, this PK shoe doesn't feel premium

. I actually like the Pioneers more in terms of the feel of the material.

EDIT: Made a mistake and thought it was primeknit. It isn't. The material used is crap nonetheless.

This is your all time favorite shoe? Not judging or making fun I'm just asking

Ya I love it. Like I've said before, it has its flaws. But this is the only shoe where my feet doesn't hurt while playing. The midfoot shank fits perfectly to my feet unlike the KD9, CLB16, CE, and the Kobes. Everyone's feet are different and I found one that suits me. Now only if they include flat laces instead and have continental rubber, this shoe would be perfect.

Oh ok. Cool.
 
I prefer the upper material on the Pioneer (black) over the Home (red). Personal preference, yes.

I'm planning on heading to the NY store probably tomorrow or over the weekend so I can take a pic of them in-hand.

I hope they look as nice in person as they do in pics!
