Yeah that makes sense now why its 3/5 dots, I was confused what those numbers meant. Pretty strange the Nike pic has it 5/3 dots on the right shoe though.
Nike does that about 95% of the time. You can actually find small imperfections or marks, and they're in the exact same spot on the opposite shoe. They photoshop the logos and anything that can't be mirrored.
 
Pulled the trigger this morning on the USA's. Have a tournament this weekend can't wait to see how they feel.

With the Pre-Heats will they only be restocked in stores or online as well? Stores don't carry the 12.5  :stoneface:
 
Guess I'll finally Return my NYC 10's and grab the Preheats on the 18th
 
Question for those of you doing reviews..what other KD's have you hooped in and are they that much better than the ones you have found comfortable?  To me, performance wise, it's 5,8,7,3 and I don't know after that because I sold my 4's and 6's were basically plastic.  So far the consensus seems to be greatest performing KD so far?
 
Anyone know if any sites have the Pre-heats/Zeros? Gahhhh having the hardest time finding them. Somebody help me T.T 9.5

EDITED: JK... will be patiently waiting till the 18th, and get them at my local FTLKR hahahaahahahah

8's were narrow as hell and the zoom felt hard. 7's were clunky and just a terrible basketball shoe IMO. These have amazing cushioning and feel perfect on foot but the one thing I will say is that the amount of cushioning in the shoe can actually be a con when you're exploding to the basket. It's almost an unstable type of feeling. This is only after two wears for me though so maybe that will change.
 
Is anyone else having a hard time getting your feet into these, damn!!!!

My order came in, TTS, and having a helluva time getting them on...Once they're on, fit and feel is good though the area on top of my forefoot is too snug...

Don't have wide feet, high arches or anything else...Never had a shoe be this difficult to put on...lol...

Thanks.  I was one of the very few who loved the 8.  My foot is more on the narrow side so I didn't really have any sizing issues.  The zoom is good but I think before the 9, the best cushioned KD was probably the 5 but their silhouette wasn't too flattering.  I had the 7s but sold those too because they just didn't fit right.  I tried the 9s on in store and like everyone else said, they feel comfortable right off the bat (once you get them on).

You are in the majority. theres some im here who might believe you're an idiot, or are putting the shoe on completely wrong, but most of us thought it was difficult the first few times.
 
Why are the PreHeats/Zero so hyped up? Is it because the cw is the first 9 that KD wore in game or because it was his last as an OKC Thunder? Don't get me wrong it's a clean cw but Mic Drops to me are more versatile.
 
Preheats looked ok in some pics, better in others. Ill cop to see how they look in person. The USA's are fire in person but ill return and wait for a bigger sale. The fake sellout was funny tho

I seen the USA KD 9's in store for the first time in person and they look nice, but they do look super narrow and look like they will be tough putting them on. Well, I will find out later today when my Mic Drops arrive. it appears a lot of stores didn't get those here in the DMV or maybe they sold out.

Thanks for the useful info unlike others...appreciate it...
 
I'm not understanding the struggle....may need some no socks/feet pics with these posts

But seriously, either some of y'all have some poor circulation going on or have sasquatch feet.  They aren't supposed to be THAT hard to get on.
