[TylerDurdenLives]

Anybody have an idea when these gila monsters are expected to have a wider release? Only harden I really want tbh.

I wouldnt worry to much. Think about it... its an Adidas shoe and adidas stores didnt sold it but footlocker did? I would expect a wider release at some point. Maybe playoffs time or if he wins MVP...

I honestly think if and when the Gila Monsters drop as a gr, they will sit on shelves. Lots of people were hyped about the Cargos until they became a gr, now it seems most people don't care.

Haha I hope they release, too. If they don't have a general release for them, that's a whole different story...

Adidas on Fifth Ave sold them.. but you're right only one to sell them. Hopefully they do, but theres not really any indication that they will at this point. I'm just hoping something doper than the GM comes along.

I have average and narrow feet but I really don't want the shoe to be snug. Is it okay if I go TTS without it looking bulky and oversized?

I have a narrow foot too and at least for me its kind of a funny thing. I went down half a size on every single pair i have. With that being said i noticed something. With both of my Primeknit pairs they fit perfectly half a size down but with my regular pairs they took a long break in time to fit and even so they fit a little big. Thats really strange. anyway i suggest going half a size down unless you have a barrel foot.

i noticed that the primeknit fabric is a little rougher and more coarse than the other material, maybe because primeknit is not as stretchy?

Well, yes this implementation of primeknit isnt stretchy at all. Anyway i highly recommend going half a size down in case of having a narrow foot.

Man oh man i really hope so. They do look amazing on his feet maybe the lighting?

I went full size down on the Hardens. Too much dead space.

When Gilas dropped the only size left was a full size down from my regular. Couldnt pull de trigger. Primeknit is tight for a full size down IMO

 

[gauchowr]

People I am telling you, I would NOT go down a full size if you plan to hoop in these. I went true to size that I wear all of my Nike and Jordans and they fit the same size as those. If you go down a full size you are definitely asking for a lot of pain and discomfort and I would definitely not recommend this. I can't even recommend going down half a size as even that fit is too snug for my taste.

I'm a sz 9.5/10 in Nike BBall Models. More so on the 10 side. I had to go down to a size 9 for a perfect fit. No discomfort except from the breaking period with the area of compression near the big toe. But then again.. I am wide footed as well. There's enough of these for people to try on in store (hopefully). So it depends i think.

I mostly wear a 12, but 11.5 was a perfect for these. Bought them to hoop, really nice shoe so far.

 

[puglife]

I wear a 13 and bought the pioneers in a 13. Thought they were a tad bit too big at first, but after playing in them, they fit perfectly to me now. I bought the disruptors in a 12.5 and, while they fit, they just seem veerrry slightly less comfortable than my pioneers. I haven't played in them as much if that makes any difference though.

BTW has anyone here played in both the Hardens and Crazy Explosive Primeknits? What are the major differences and which do you like playing in more? I love playing in my Hardens and think they are the best basketball shoes I have played in. They fit perfectly and cushion is perfect for me as well. Wondering if anyone has a preference in playing in one vs. the other.

i've played in both, the boost is different, hardens are much harder and explosives are much softer.  the fit is almost the same, good for wide footers like me.  explosives is the most comfortable shoes ever, after a two hour session, my legs weren't fatigue at all.  but the hardens is my go-to shoe because it has the right balance of comfort and court feel.

I love the balance in the Hardens as well. The cushion is very nice and balanced, not too soft or hard, but yet responsive and doesn't leave my legs aching. I am receiving my CE PK lows today. I want to use them to play but not so sure yet. That white PK will be destroyed in just a couple of sessions. Haha

Yeah initially I thought I could have gone down a half size, but after breaking in my pair (true size) they felt amazing and afterwards could not justify having gone down half a size.
