View media item 2198595Just got the Blackout with a half size down from my TS. Glad I returned my translucent Unites and went down a half size. I guess one either take a TS for comfort or go down a half size for a snug fit and no slippage. Either way, It only took 5 minutes of excruciating pain on my left foot (slightly bigger than my right) to get the shoe to conform to my feet. Just waiting for my second pair to arrive now.
It took me six sessions of playing ball before breaking in my Summer Packs. I went TTS and no slippage for me. However, I still had excruciating pain on my right foot since it is slightly wider than my left during the break in period. There were times when I had numbness and tingling and I just had to man up and continue playing. I'm glad I did and I'm thankful for the lenient Nike return policy that allowed me to try to break in the shoes with confidence that I won't get stuck with uncomfortable shoes. I've now purchased the USAs and Unites. I will be looking to acquire more.
 
I was at the Nike Factory Outlet in San Jose, Ca and saw the all black in a size 11 for $120. I asked a retail associate if they had a 11.5 and said I could order a 11.5 through them in store for that price. So with free shipping it came out to $130 and change, should be getting them soon.


O.O did not know factory outlets can order in-store

Yes....I actually just foundthis out as i was on vacation. I went into the Nike outlet in Henry County/Atlanta and saw the Univ. red joints on thd counter. Then i notice that they had a bigger pair on the back counter along with some Jordans. As you mentioned the price was lower than any other mall shoe store. The girl told me that they could order my size if need be. I kinda like the fact they can get shoes for cheaper.

I'm so jealous of those who got the USA's. I've been looking for that here in Canada and sadly they are all sold out of my size. I could get it from a US store online but the tax and shipping fees are way too much. Sad life. Guess I'll just have to settle with GSW home and away colorways.
 
The pair on Durant's feet look horrid. The contrasting colourblocking not doing that colourway any favours.
 
i thought id be 4 or 5 shoes deep on this line based off of the first pictures we ever saw. im still sitting at the 1 I got on discount :smh:
 
Ive been ballin in my GMs for a month now and I find the traction to be very good, the fit is tight around the mid foot area but a thick pair of socks helps. I really like the solid toe on these good protection from toe strikes, so many bball shoes are designed like running shoes these days (previous Kd models) these are a welcome change.

My only complaint so far is the ventilation I experienced blisters in them that I havent had in years on the balls of my feet and toes.

Blisters are usually from fit though....I guess I could see it from ventilation but most shoes these days have about the same below avg ventilation
 
The video of him at practice working in the post with Nash he has a yellow pair on, look nice. Could more than likely be done on ID but the yellows would be 2 different shades [emoji]128557[/emoji] Plus the price is silly
 
Sighs.... Only two pairs for me. Mic Drops and the Limiteds. This thread was interesting in the beginning as I checked it daily. Now its boring cw's releasing. Im sure glad The Walking Dead comes back on Oct 23 so i can have something to look forward to lol....
 
Most of the bball sig shoes have had lame dead boring colorways for majority of the past 3 years


Havent seen consistent good colorways since the Kobe 8

I love this shoe and I'm admittedly turned off by KDs move to Golden State, but ultimately it's just Nike taking a dump with the last two months of CWs.
