I like the translucent traction look, but after seeing multiple slippery spots on different pairs, will hope they just release more with solid traction patterns for performance reasons.

To each his own. Much improved over the retail release IMO

Don't like those USA with the navy added to heel.
Do hope they release the all navy pair he wore in the game the other night.

I have no problems moving laterally in these. Make sure to lace up tight and if you're wearing your proper size you will be fine. I think part of it is mental - if you go in thinking a shoe might be unstable before even lacing them up you won't have peace of mind or go all out. I'm not saying it's not an issue for some, but so far I have had zero problems with lateral movement.
While it is true flyknit in the upper it's not as breathable as I would have liked but that's because the flyknit is thicker in areas to provide as much as stability as possible. Flyknit does require some time to break in though because it's not super pliable or molded to your foot from the get go. It's flexible, but not broken in - which is why a lot of people said it feels uncomfortable or hard to get their foot in, etc.
Completely switching gears but is anyone else a little annoyed with the 2 shades of blue on the USA unis? I liked the navy more so than thsee and the 9s he wore with them seem a little out of place.

Pre heats the only CW worth copping so far since the OG multi might not happen. Mic Drops are cool since they could be had for $99. Other than that I'm disappointed how they've managed to drop the ball, but it's still early hopefully they fix this.

The Preheats and USA's are must cops for me, both multicolors are an easy pass ,and the BParadise and Mic drops are okay but I'll pass . Such a dope shoe.

So these break in after a few wears? Mine feel so tight but the length is perfect. If they can break in or get a little looser its be all good!

Agree. Besides the pre heats I don't see any must have cw.
Nike could have done way more with this shoe. Hopefully they will improve the cw, but right now I'm losing interest on them.
Yeah, they definitely look worse than what nike gave us.

I'm waiting for a sale on them. I've worn the mic drops like 5x in 2 weeks. I don't typically wear the same shoe that frequently. I like the shoe enough to buy another color. Hoping Nike shows some more releases soon.

Did pre heats restock or something? My boy said they got sizes at the mall by him and he just got a 9.5 and said they were $150?
