I couldn't agree with you more. If it weren't for the 30 day return policy/trial, I would not own any Kobe IX elites. But I was confident that if they didn't break in that I would be able to return. They ended up breaking in and I ended up buying all the Elite colorways of that line. They hurt my feet the first few days and became really comfortable after.
Not sure what Nike does with returned worn shoes since I'm not quality control for Nike. Bottom line is that the 30 day return policy/ trial period is being encouraged by the employees and it worked in their favor in my situation because I ended up with countless pairs of shoes that were hurting my feet in the beginning but eventually got broken in. Also, I didn't know that Adidas adopted the same return policy as stated by

. If it were such a bad business decision to have this 30 day return policy/trial period, I don't think Adidas would have converted the same policy.
I don't know where he got that idea from. Everything I've purchased from Nike appeared to be dead stock similar to your experience. Yes, I think they donate or participate in some sort of reuse-a-shoe program for worn shoes that have been returned.
So you intend on playing in them for a few sessions and returning them back to Nike as a defective product or just flat out returning them? 'Cos if it's the latter that's simply not fair to the person who might end up purchasing a 'new' pair of shoes.
It's clear as day that the shoe is NOT designed for wide feet so and the synthetic materials do NOT stretch or give.
Generally speaking you're supposed to wear a shoe indoors, casually for about half hour to an hour in order to gauge fit before actually using them to play, etc... That way if you do have to return the shoes the person who ends up buying them ends up with a pair that's essentially tried on as opposed to be being broken in, which is what you intend on doing.
They don't sell used shoes man, come on bro
I guess I won't be buying one. I hear way too many bad things about the on-court traction of the translucent rubber and I'm afraid of getting it if it seems like the Milan's outsole would just be the same.
Wow.. Looks like I won't bother with any translucent outsoles with the kd 9 or kobe 11. With the kobe 9, you can't even do that on purpose

Wearing them for the first time? Cause my Pre-heats were bad the first time I wore them. However the traction broke in nicely after a few runs and performs up to par with with solid option now.
Do they have any USA in 12.5?
Damn..got the translucent on my Kyrie 2 iDs. Gonna have to test them out
